Neck-hanging readers with a frame that opens in the middle

The idea is simple: the front of the frame splits at the bridge and a small magnet joins it again. A soft band runs around the back of your neck, so the readers have a place to rest when they are off your nose.

What makes these readers worth it

The construction does away with folding temples and cases that go missing. Everything stays in one loop around your neck.

• Magnetic center: two halves that find each other and lock in place.
• Soft neckband: flexible and comfortable, without pinching.
• Low weight: you hardly notice the frame on your face.
• Eleven strengths: from +1.00 up to +3.50.
• Quick on, quick off: one pull to open, one click to close.

A clever bit of design for something you pick up twenty times a day.

Hold the two halves, pull them apart and place the frame on your face; the magnet closes the front for you. When you take them off, they drop down and rest on your chest. The band follows the back of your neck, so it stays out of the way while you move around.
