A New Wrinkle in Reading Glasses
Blogged under Apparel, Gifts by Jason on Tuesday 9 October 2007

clic_readingglasses.jpgWe are slow to accept the truth. Maybe our eyes are just tired. We start to squint, then hold the page farther away. Inevitably the moment comes when we must admit that our vision is slipping and we cannot read without glasses. Unfortunately, besides a slight wounding of our pride, these things can be irritating - put them on, lose them, take them off, lose them, slip them down the nose when we talk to others, lose them, stretch them, etc. From within Amazon.com come a type of reading glasses that, while odd-looking, may save us some trouble. They’re called CLiC, and the picture pretty much says it all. They promise to save us from “granny chains” and fumbling in purses or drawers. When not using them, they hang from your neck on a size-adjustable band. Need to read? Click together the magnets located at the bridge of the nose. They’re $15.99, come in 6 magnification strengths and 4 “unisex” colors. You can even fit them with prescription lenses, the manufacturer says. There are also sunglasses and even a “sport goggle” version. A few reader reviews on Amazon complain about the size of the frames, and one user said they come apart too easily if you’re moving around. Most reviewers liked them, but we suggest you steel yourself for some stares.
