Reading Sunglasses FAQs
1. What are reading sunglasses?
Reading sunglasses, also called sun readers or sunglasses with readers, combine reading magnification with tinted lenses, so you can read comfortably outdoors without swapping between your readers and sunglasses.
2. What strength reading sunglasses do I need?
Choose the same strength as your usual reading glasses. Our reading sunglasses come in strengths from +1.00 to +3.50, though some styles are available in selected strengths only. If you're unsure, use our free eye chart.
3. Do your reading sunglasses have UV protection?
Our reading sunglasses have tinted lenses to reduce brightness and glare, and most styles offer UVA/UVB protection, with our Folding sun readers featuring UV400 lenses. Check each product page for the details of each style.
4. Are reading sunglasses suitable for women and men?
Yes, our reading sunglasses are unisex, with classic black, tortoiseshell, brown, metal and folding styles to suit everyone.
5. Can I wear reading sunglasses all day?
They're designed for reading and close-up tasks. As the lenses magnify, distance vision may look blurred, so take them off for walking or driving.
6. What's the difference between reading sunglasses and clip on sunglasses?
Reading sunglasses have magnification built into a tinted lens. Clip on sunglasses attach to the glasses you already wear.

Tinted lenses help reduce brightness and improve comfort, allowing you to focus on books, menus, tablets and smartphones with greater ease. This makes reading sunglasses a practical solution for anyone who enjoys spending time outside.
Whether you're looking for a fashionable everyday pair or a dedicated set for holidays and leisure activities, our range offers affordable options from just £12.50 without compromising on quality, with free delivery on 2 or more pairs and 14-day hassle-free returns.
