Readers – the pair that is with you because it fits in a wallet

A flat acetate frame with acrylic lenses, cut down to a thickness that slides behind a card. The case has a loop for a keyring, which is the whole idea: the glasses live on your keys. Six strengths are offered, from +1.00 up to +3.50.

Why choose these readers?

The reason people end up with four pairs is that none of them are ever in the room. A frame thin enough to carry solves that, because it goes where your keys and wallet already go. Acetate keeps the weight low while still feeling like a real frame rather than a giveaway.

Flat profile: thin enough for a card holder, a wallet or a shirt pocket.
Acetate frame: light, warm in the hand and more substantial than wire.
Acrylic lenses: clear and resilient, which matters in a pocket.
Keyring case: loops onto your keys so the pair travels by default.
Half-step strengths: +1.00 to +3.50 in 0.50 increments.

A backup pair that stops being theoretical.

Slide them in lens-first so the arms cannot spring open against the case. Use a microfiber cloth on the lenses; acrylic marks faster than glass if you wipe it dry. Between two strengths, take the weaker one and move the page a little closer.
