Premium Materials for All-Day Comfort

Frequently Asked Questions
What are +1.0 reading sunglasses best used for?
Sunglasses with +1.0 strength are ideal for outdoor reading, checking your phone in bright light, reviewing menus at patio restaurants, or any close-up activity in sunny conditions. The modest magnification helps early presbyopes (typically ages 40-50) see near objects clearly while full UV protection shields eyes from harmful rays. They're perfect for the beach, gardening, outdoor dining, or simply running errands on sunny days.
How do I know if +1.0 is the right strength for me?
If you're experiencing slight difficulty reading small print but can still manage most tasks without glasses, +1.0 is often the appropriate starting strength. Our free online vision test gives instant results to help you confirm your ideal lens power. If you already wear +1.0 reading glasses indoors, this same strength will work perfectly for your outdoor sunglasses.
What materials are these sunglasses made from?
Our +1.0 reading sunglasses collection features diverse premium materials including flexible TR90 rubber (ultra-lightweight Swiss technology used in aerospace), durable acetate for classic styling and longevity, and sleek stainless steel for modern minimalist designs. Each material is selected for comfort, durability, and all-day wearability, ensuring your frames withstand daily use while looking great.
Can I wear these sunglasses for driving?
Reading sunglasses with +1.0 strength are designed primarily for near vision tasks, not distance viewing like driving. The magnification can blur distant objects such as road signs and traffic signals, making them unsuitable for driving. For driving, we recommend our non-prescription sunglasses that provide UV protection without magnification, ensuring clear distance vision and safe operation of vehicles.
