Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the rubber and acetate frames in this collection?
The Stockholm rubber frames offer ultra-lightweight flexibility with a narrow fit, weighing just grams and featuring hypoallergenic properties. The Örebro acetate frames provide a medium fit with more color variety and a classic, substantial feel that many prefer for its premium look and durability.
Will the iconic aviator shape suit my face?
The aviator-inspired shape is universally flattering and particularly complements square, rectangular, and heart-shaped faces by softening angular features. Take our personalized style guide to discover which of our frame shapes best complement your unique face shape.
Can I get these frames in other lens strengths?
Yes, most styles in this collection are available in multiple strengths ranging from +1.0 to +3.5. Browse our complete reading glasses collection to find the same frames in different magnifications, or explore blue light blocking lenses and prescription sunglasses in this strength if you need versatile eyewear for different situations.
How do I care for my reading glasses?
Clean your lenses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner, avoiding paper towels or clothing that can cause micro-scratches. Store them in a protective case when not in use, and the flexible rubber frames are particularly resilient to everyday wear, while acetate frames should be kept away from extreme heat to maintain their shape and finish.
