Foldable Reading Glasses with Hard Case, Metal Frame, Lightweight, Scratch-Resistant Lenses for Magnification Strengths +1 to +4

The reading glasses that fit in any shirt pocket – and won't be left at home

The moment you reach for the menu in a restaurant and the letters blur. The package insert at the pharmacy that's impossible to decipher without glasses. The SMS on your phone screen that you can only read after squinting for a long time while hiking. A second pair of reading glasses only helps if you actually have them with you – and that's where most people fail: standard cases are too bulky for your trouser pocket, loose lenses scratch in your backpack. These folding reading glasses close this gap with a hard-shell case in bar form that is narrower than a smartphone.

What makes these reading glasses different

• Triple-folding frame at the nose bridge and on both temples – the glasses fold to about a third of their wearing size, fitting into the included bar-shaped case. The folding mechanism uses sturdy metal hinges, not plastic joints.
• Hard-shell case with ribbed exterior – the slim, elongated shape fits into any shirt pocket, the tight front pocket of jeans, and any glasses compartment in the car. The ribs protect the case from scratches when dropped into a backpack and provide additional grip when grasping.
• High-quality metal frame weighing under 20 grams – light enough not to press on your nose after an hour of reading. Sturdy enough not to lose its shape after the first bend.
• Scratch-resistant lenses with a clear image in the reading area – the coating largely prevents scratches from keys or sand in the case. The lenses offer a distortion-free reading image across the entire lens surface.
• Six reading strengths from +1.0 to +4.0 diopters – suitable for slight presbyopia to stronger reading needs. You choose the strength that matches your current requirement.
• Unisex design with subtly appearing rim – the simple metal suits office wear, casual looks, and formal attire. No striking designer statement, no demonstrative senior optics.
• Spring hinges on the temples – the temples give way slightly outwards instead of remaining stiff. The glasses adapt to different head widths and do not press behind the ears.

Who it's for

For commuters who read the newspaper on the train, look at their phone on the platform, and want to carry both without a bulky case in their jacket's inside pocket. For tradespeople who want to store a second reading aid in their toolbox or car. For restaurant-goers who have been embarrassed to hold the menu at arm's length. And for everyone who forgets their reading glasses at home because the standard case is too big for their trouser pocket.

Fold, pocket, read

Fold the temples and nose bridge hinge until the glasses lie flat. Place them in the hard-shell case, close the lid until the mechanism clicks into place – the glasses are secure, even if the case ends up upside down in your backpack. To read, open the case, remove the glasses, unfold the temples and nose bridge, put on the glasses. For cleaning the lenses, use a soft spectacle cloth and a drop of spectacle cleaner or clear water – no harsh cleaners and no paper tissues, as these can damage the coating over time. If the reading strength is not suitable, test reading at a distance of approx. 30–35 cm before purchasing, or use your last eye test from the optician as a guide.

For everyone who really wants to have their reading glasses with them – not just on their bedside table at home.
