Magnetic Readers – the bridge comes apart so the frame stays on you

The bridge of these frames holds together with magnets. Pull the halves apart and the arms drape around the neck; bring them back and the magnets line the frame up and click it shut. Seven magnifications, from +1.00 up to +4.00.

Why choose this magnetic readers?

Most reading frames are either on your face or somewhere in the house. These have a third state: hanging on the collar, one second from being closed again. Because the magnets pull themselves into alignment, you can do it one-handed without looking.

• Collar carry: the open frame hangs at the neck between one page and the next.
• Self-aligning clasp: the two halves snap square on their own, no aiming needed.
• Acetate frame: light on the bridge of the nose and it keeps its shape.
• Polycarbonate lenses: 5.6 cm wide and 3.3 cm tall, clear right to the rim.
• Seven magnifications: half-step increments across the whole +1.00 to +4.00 range.

A pair that ends up around your neck instead of under the newspaper.

Let the magnets close the bridge rather than pressing the halves together by force. A dry microfiber cloth is all the lenses need; anything rougher will haze them. Hang them when they are off instead of pushing them up onto your head, which slowly splays the arms.
