I admit…I wear reading glasses. I would rather wear my readers than my expensive prescription glasses. While I know that some people definitely need those prescription glasses…I’ve opted to use readers. I’ve been using readers for the past 12 years and love them. Why? Well, I’m going to tell you.

My prescription glasses cost me almost $800 and they’re “okay” but I don’t love them. Second, I’ve lost prescription glasses before and I’ve broken a pair or two over the years. I’m not going to keep paying outrageous prices for prescription eyewear. Sorry, I’m not. I’m on a fixed income and need to stay within my budge.
Next, I love wearing readers because I can own dozens of different pairs in a variety of different styles, colors and prints. I can wear them to match my outfit or to suit my mood. They’re affordable and I can upgrade to a new strength as needed…without visiting the eye doctor who’s office charge is outrageous too! Don’t get me wrong, we all need eye checkups and care. I get a yearly check-up at the eye doctor but I’m not going to keep running in there and blowing my money on a regular basis.
For the past 3 years I’ve been buying my reading glasses from Amazon. I’m now up to a 2.5 strength. I’ve been buying the Kerecsen Reading Glasses which I love! They’re a really nice quality. They come in different frame styles, colors and strengths. I enjoy purchase the multi-pack that contains 5 pairs of readers with 5 “soft” protective cases.
If you’re looking for some beautiful reading glasses at a super-affordable price I recommend you check out Amazon to see what they have.
