Reading Sunglasses

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you get reading glasses as sunglasses?
A: Yes, you can get reading glasses with tinted lenses that function as sunglasses, commonly referred to as reading sunglasses or sun readers. These specialized glasses are designed for outdoor use, allowing you to read and see objects up close while protecting your eyes from the sun's glare and harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Reading sunglasses are available in a variety of styles, frame shapes, and lens tints. If you require a customized prescription for your reading sunglasses, you will need to visit an eye care professional who can provide a tailored solution based on your specific vision needs.

Q: Do reading sunglasses work?
A: Yes, reading sunglasses do work for their intended purpose. They are designed to help individuals with presbyopia or those who need reading glasses to see objects clearly at close range while also providing protection from the sun's bright light and harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Reading sunglasses have the following features:

• Magnification: They offer magnification in various diopter strengths, just like regular reading glasses. This magnification helps to enlarge text and objects, making them easier to see when performing close-up tasks such as reading.
• UV Protection: Quality reading sunglasses should offer 100% UV protection to safeguard your eyes against the potential damage caused by UV radiation.
• Tinted Lenses: The lenses are tinted to reduce brightness and help alleviate eye strain from sunlight. The tint can range from lighter to very dark, depending on the intended use and personal preference.
• Polarized (Optional): Many reading sunglasses come with polarized lenses, which reduce glare from reflective surfaces, making them particularly beneficial for outdoor activities like driving, fishing, or spending time on the water.

Reading sunglasses work well for outdoor activities where you might need to read or focus on details, such as looking at a phone screen, reading a book at the beach, or examining a map while hiking. They are a convenient solution for those who want the benefits of reading glasses without having to switch between readers and regular sunglasses.

For individuals with specific vision needs beyond simple magnification, such as those requiring different corrections for each eye or astigmatism correction, custom prescription reading sunglasses from an eye care professional may be necessary. Over-the-counter reading sunglasses are typically available in standard magnification levels and may not be suitable for everyone's unique visual requirements.
