Explore our collection to find stylish options in reading sunglasses and prescription bifocal sunglasses—discover eyewear that protects your eyes in the sun and offers the optical clarity you need for close-up tasks outdoors. We include prescription-ready bifocal sunglasses by trusted makers for wearers who need vision correction all the time. And if you simply need reading sunglasses, you’ll find an impressive collection of authentic designer readers in classic and contemporary styles.
Bifocal sunglasses may be a good option for you if you have a complex vision problem that requires different prescriptions for distance and reading, and you still want to read outside in bright sunlight. With bifocal sunglasses, don’t need to rely on clip-on shades or sunglasses that fit over regular glasses—you can look up from your favorite novel and clearly see the kids playing in the surf. Bifocal sunglasses are exactly what they sound like: Prescription glasses with tinted sunglass lenses to protect against the sun’s brightness. Add-on options like UV protection and polarization are available, as well.
Sunglass readers are best for people who don’t need prescription glasses, but keep a pair of reading glasses, or “cheaters,” nearby for reading small writing and other fine print. The same magnification applies to reading glasses and sunglass readers, so pick the power you’re used to. Enjoy that paperback stashed in your beach bag with reading glasses that bring the words into focus—the added tint will make reading outdoors more enjoyable. Added polarization and UV protection also boost comfort and protect your eyes.
