Reading Sunglasses

Transform any of our frames into your perfect reading sunglasses, complete with essential UV protection. Tailored for avid readers, our sunglasses blend the clarity of reading glasses with the sun protection you need for outdoor enjoyment.

What are reading sunglasses?

Reading sunglasses (sometimes called sun readers) are reading glasses with tinted, UV-protective lenses. They give you the magnification you need for close-up work while shielding your eyes from bright sunlight — so you can enjoy a book, your phone or a crossword outdoors without squinting or switching between pairs.

  • Single-vision reading lenses with full UV protection
  • Available as ready readers or built to your prescription
  • Turn any frame on the website into reading sunglasses
  • Designer options including Ray-Ban, Oakley and Polaroid

Outdoor reading, upgraded

Reading outdoors shouldn't mean choosing between clear text and comfortable eyes. Reading sunglasses cut glare and brightness while magnifying the page, making them ideal for beach holidays, garden breaks, outdoor cafés and driving to your destination. With our range offering style and functionality in one, you can elevate your reading experience with sophistication and find the perfect pair for your next sunny adventure.

Lens options for reading sunglasses

Every pair is customisable, so you can choose exactly how your reading sunglasses perform in the sun.

  • Polarised lenses — eliminate blinding glare from water, roads and snow for sharper vision in bright conditions — ideal for holidays and driving.
  • Tinted lenses — choose from classic grey, brown or green tints to suit your style.
  • Photochromic lenses — clear indoors, automatically darkening outdoors for a single pair that does everything.
  • Anti-reflective coating — eliminates surface reflections for clearer vision and reduced glare.

How to order reading sunglasses

Ordering is easy. Choose a frame from our sunglasses collection, select your reading use case in the lens studio, then pick your tint or polarised option and add your prescription — or send it to us later.
