Ask HN: Any recommendation for reading glasses?

Posted by jebblue on Monday August 03, 2015 @05:32PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have searched and can't find a pair of reading glasses that don't smudge several times a day, talk about frustrating, any ideas for a pair that's more smudge free?

I like Sportex reading glasses. Very light weight and comfortable. Not sure about smudges, but I haven't had any problems. Easy to clean though.

Thanks, I read some reviews, seems there are some weakness issues with them.

Try Warby Parker. They have issues delivering (allow a month) but the product is good. My husband bought sunglasses with diff prescriptions in both eyes and they work great, no smudge issues.

I just use cheapo off-the-shelf ones from Walmart or Target.

But I think the heart of the issue is, I had glasses as a kid, and I learned how to handle them without smudging them much.

When they do smudge, I just run some water on them, then use liquid hand soap, then rinse.
