Reading Glasses UK

Reading glasses United Kingdom are for men and women who suffer Long-sightedness. Cool and trendy reading glasses new to the UK can be found here.

The United Kingdom does not tend to manufacture them. It is more the domain of China and Taiwan. The materials used are generally plastic or acetate. The lens type vary. The standard should be an aspheric lens which provides a flatter viewing experience.

Usually different shapes sizes and strengths are available for men and women. When looking at a pair of  glasses you will need to know the length of the frame, temple and lens to find a pair that will fit you.

The second and equally important essential is the strength of magnification that is needed. The dioptres generally go up in 0.5 steps but can be found in 0.25 strengths also.

Retailers in the United Kingdom will stock +1 -+3 magnifications.

To find your reading strength you would be best advised to go and have an eye test at your opticians.

Once that is done the worlds your oyster. Choose your style and colour of cool and trendy readers. Do you have a favourite brand ?

reading glasses the funny side.

Reading glasses the funny side.

Posted on by Martin Cunningham

Reading glasses the funny side

Reading glasses have a funny side to them.

How do you know carrots are good for your eyes?

Because you never see rabbits wearing reading  glasses

The optician just took my glasses from me to repair them. They said they can fix it in 5 minutes.

I can’t see it happening.

Do you know that If Covid 19 has forced you or a loved one to wear a mask with your reading  glasses that you may be entitled to condensation.

An old man went to an eye specialist to get his eyes tested and asked “Doctor, will I be able to read after wearing glasses?”

Yes of course, said the doctor, why not!
“Oh How nice it would be, I have been illiterate for so long”.

On a more serious note

People come to a time in their lives when they can  become longsighted and will have to consider the less than funny option of having to wear reading glasses.

The optician will give you an eye test and examine your eyes for any more serious problems. 

If you need glasses then your prescription will detail your reading dioptre strength.

They usually are in 0.5 increments in strength. Most reading glasses on the market provide strengths from +1 to +3.5

Now you have your strength what do you choose and where do you buy them from?

Ready readers can be found in most shops but tend to be cheap and nasty. If you want something that you want to throw on and off your face then they are fine.

If you want a quality pair of reading glasses then you may have to look further.

There are many types and styles of reading glasses- cool–fashion–designer-funky etc

Decide what you want to wear. You will have to ensure that the frames will fit your face size and shape.

Colour may also be important to you.

We have a large range of reading glasses that are stylish fun and funky to choose from.

Visit our website and browse our collection.

We have a sister site Funkyreaders where you can find more brands of reading glasses for men and women.

Leaving on a funny note : I went into a sandwich shop and asked ” Can I buy a bagel with cream cheese” The shop keeper looked at me and said” No we only take cash”

Ciao for now!

Eye wear Fashion History 1

Posted on by Martin Cunningham

Eye wear Fashion History 1

Where in eye wear fashion history  do you think the first sunglasses came from? If I said they were made out of necessity by an Eskimo what would you say? It should not surprise you really as we experience how they feel every time we go skiing  or have a fall of snow followed by a sunny day.

There was no plastic or acetate in the prehistoric times.Eskimo`s will have hunted with spears made of flint and bone. Imagine the eureka moment! The Eskimo frustrated by the glare from the sun takes a piece of bone he strikes it therefore causing a slit and carving out the marrow he ties it around his face. Suddenly the brightness is dimmed!

Our first sunglasses are created.

eskimo snow shades

Middle Ages Eye wear fashion history

They are a long way from the modern sun glass and sun reader offered by us in our IZIPIZI range but without that Eskimo where would we be?

Where to next? Well our eyes deteriorate rapidly even today. In the middle ages where candlelight was the only medium with which to read in the dark, they deteriorated even faster.

If you were aged 45 or over and were lucky enough to still be alive your eyesight was shot!

The Clergy who lived in the monasteries of the time were therefore particularly effected as they wrote many of the manuscripts often by candle light.

Salvino Degli Armati is said to be the inventor of the first properly made spectacles. These were rivet spectacles made from steel or any pliable metal and held together by rivets. They must have been so uncomfortable to wear. He was a member of the clergy and lived and worked in the monasteries of the day. Well enough history for now. Please check in on our second part when we will once again be looking at the history of eye wear.

eyewear in the middle ages

In the meantime take a look at our sister website Funkyreaders that has a large selection of European reading glasses sunglasses and sun reading glasses . We guarantee they are not made from rivets. They therefore will be more comfortable than Senor Armati`s- no not senor Armani!!

Check in on how things continued to develop.

Ciao for now!

Valentines day gift ideas

Valentines day is one of those occasions that you miss at your peril. Your loved one has spent all day preparing a romantic dinner, bought a beautiful greetings card and carefully packaged a gift for you. Have you forgotten? Well if you have it`s not too late!

5 facts about St Valentines day

  • 150 million greeting cards are exchanged each year.
  • The St Valentine who inspired the day may have been 2 different men.
  • St Valentine is the patron saint of beekeepers and epilepsy
  • St Valentines Skull can be found in Rome
  • Chaucer may have invented St Valentines day

Who was St Valentine.

There are a number of different St Valentines recorded in history. All of them were martyred.

Two are said to be responsible for the romance of the day.

In the 3rd Century during the reign of Claudius II a young priest defied the Emperors edict. No men were to marry at any cost. The men were made for war not romance. This St Valentine performed secret wedding services for young lovers. He was caught and executed.

A more murky tale is of a St Valentine who whilst imprisoned fell in love with a young girl who was the jailers daughter and wrote a letter addressed and signed “From your Valentine” a term that we still use today.

Back to Romance.

The table is set, the champagne bubbles are flowing in the glass, a delicious sea food platter adorns the table.

Music fills the air. Time to open that Valentine day gift! What will it be?

Present time.
