Folding Reading Glasses

These twistable folding reading glasses from GlassesCafe are pretty awesome. They don’t come in a lot of great styles, but these seem almost invincible. They ship in a plastic carrying case, but once they arrive you won’t even need that as the glasses fold so that the temples protect the lenses.

My only problem would be that they come is such a limited diopter power set. They are only available in powers +1.50 to +3.00. Seems odd to limit such a great product to those powers. Below is the description that they give on their site.

These fabulous reading glasses fold and twist from 1/2″ thick to full size reading glasses. One temple swivels and pivots allowing you to quickly and easily put them on when you need to see smaller items. When you are done using them, the temples fold back into place, covering the lenses for protection, and then snap into place on the ends. Very fashionable and chic, these are definitely not old fashioned…old person reading glasses!

These frames are well made, durable, and lightweight. Easy to carry in a small purse (even a wristlet size) for that special evening out to be able to read the menu! They come in a hard plastic case for shipping, but once they arrive you won’t need to store them in anything as the temples cover and protect the lenses.

Dimensions: Frames measure 5.63″ from temple to temple and lenses measure approximately .5″ vertically.
