Finding the perfect pair of glasses is important. You want a pair of specs that will take care of your needs, fit well, and flatter. Plus, your frames will become a part of who you are, so you want them to reflect you personality. Never fear, from bifocals to rimless readers, we’ve got you covered!

Parts

There are two main components of a pair of glasses: the frame and the lenses.

The frame is made up of eye wires or rims connected to the temples by hinges. Tiny screws hold the hinges in place and temple tips protect the ends of the temples and prevent the wearer from being irritated by pointy edges. The rims are connected by a bridge and sometimes top bar. Small pad arms are secured at the inner edge of the rims and hold the nose pads in place. The nose pads help keep the frame in its proper position while providing comfort and a snug fit.

The lenses of the glasses hold the wearer’s prescription or magnification and come in clear glass, plastic, or polycarbonate. There are a variety of lens coatings that can make your lenses scratch resistant, anti-reflective, polarized, mirrored, or tinted. Read our guide on lens coatings to decide what coating, if any, is right for your needs.

These variables account for the vast majority of eyeglass styles.

Styles

Bifocal Glasses	Bifocals are a type of eyeglasses that correct for both near and farsighted vision. These eyeglasses have a corrective lens for close range focusing at the bottom, and a corrective lens for distance vision at the top. If you’re looking for a single solution to your vision problems, bifocal glasses may be for you.
Full Frame Glasses	Full frame readers are available in a variety of powers to help you view things up-close more clearly. The full frame gives you the opportunity to add a little more style to your specs as they come in many colors, widths, designs, and a few are even made of recycled materials. Check out our full frame reading glasses if you want something a little different!
Half Frame Glasses	Half frame reading glasses assist with up-close vision while leaving your distance viewing unobstructed. If you need corrective lenses for viewing things up-close only, then take a look at our half frame reading glasses.
Rimless Glasses	Rimless readers provide the magnification you need to see more clearly while leaving your line of site totally unobstructed by frames. If you like the idea of feeling like you’re not wearing glasses or enjoy a classic look, head to our rimless reading glasses.
Sun Readers	Reading sunglasses provide both magnification and UV protection for your eyes. Many styles are available as bi-focals or polarized bi-focals if needed. Enjoy your beach reads in comfort and style with a pair of sun readers.
Over Sunglasses	Our OveRxCast sunglass readers fit over your regular prescription glasses or reading glasses to help protect your eyes from sun damage. If you’re going to be spending time outdoors and don’t want to spend the extra money on expensive prescription sunglasses, sunglasses that fit over glasses are an excellent option!
Computer Glasses	Computer glasses help optimize your eyesight when viewing your computer screen. Your computer screen falls in the intermediate zone of vision, between near and far, so computer glasses put the optimum lens power for viewing the screen right where you need it. If you suffer from headaches, blurred vision, or other symptoms of computer vision syndrome, computer glasses are for you. Anti-glare, tinted, bifocal, no-line or multiview, and full lens computer glasses are available.
Folding Glasses	Folding readers simply fold up so that they’re small enough to fit in any pocket or purse and come in a number of styles and colors. If you’re a frequent traveler or always on the go, these super portable folding reading glasses should be at the top of your list!
Flexible Glasses	Flexible readers are made of a tough, but pliable plastic that allows them to withstand more bending and twisting then normal readers. If you’re tough on your reading glasses or fear you’ll break yours, flexible reading glasses are perfect for you!
