folding reading glasses

Common magnification strengths for folding reading glasses include +1.5, +2.0, +2.25, +2.5 and +3.0.

Frame materials commonly listed for folding reading glasses include polycarbonate and nylon; some listings describe the frame more generally as plastic.

Many folding readers come with clear lenses, and some are available with smoke/gray tints for sunglass-style use.

Common protective features listed for folding reading glasses include UV or UV400 protection, shatter-resistant frames, and scratch-resistant lenses.

Folding reading glasses typically fold at the temples and often at the bridge so they collapse small enough to fit in a pocket, purse, or the included case.

Many folding readers include a color-matching pouch or a small protective case for storage when the glasses are folded.

Typical measurements listed include overall dimensions around 50 mm (H) × 140 mm (W) × 128 mm (L), a bridge width of about 16 mm, and a lens width around 52 mm. Many listings are described as "One Size Fits Most."

Available frame shapes commonly include rectangle and oval. Color options range from blue and black to tortoise, multicolored, and transparent shades; some multi-pair sets list several distinct colors.

Bifocal folding readers have a bottom magnified portion for near tasks and an upper regular portion for distance viewing, allowing you to shift between reading and looking up without removing the glasses.
