I-Can't-Find-My-Readers Syndrome

I don't know anyone who wears reading glasses who does not complain of losing or misplacing their reading glasses. Presbyopia (aging related close range vision problems) is no fun and the higher you go in magnification, the arms just aren't long enough. Hence, the readers must be around at all times.

When I was in a friend's office the other day I noticed that he had a bunch of reading glasses stuffed into a cheap coffee mug. Aha!, I said. That could be a cool look so I rounded up several of my more artisic glasses and stuffed them full of readers. I think they actually look beautiful and I like when you can combine function with design. It did mean I had to make a run to Costco so that I would have an ample suppy to support three glass holders; one in my office, one in my bedroom, and one in the kitchen. What is really neat is that I tend to put my glasses back in their little holders because they have a resting place. Organization is not my strong suit so this little self-discovery is saving me many trips up and down the stairs. And given my 48 year old knee problems, that makes me happy.

Watch our web-site for our own brand of readers to hit the store soon. Like our reading sunglasses they will be high quality with cool designs and colors. They will make your little glass holders 'pop'.
