Under $30 and Loved by Oprah

Each day, I get requested the identical query: The place are your studying glasses from? And each day, I flip right into a strolling billboard for Peepers by PeeperSpecs, a web-based retailer that sells reasonably priced and enjoyable frames.  Family and friends (even strangers on the road) are stunned after I inform them that I bought my glasses on-line, and never at a flowery upscale boutique. They’re much more shocked after I reveal that I bought my frames for below $30—case included! 

I can perceive the curiosity in my studying glasses—they’re fashionable and go well with my face properly. The truth is, the frames I put on (Bravado, $29) flatter most face shapes, making them the model’s best-selling pair. Even Oprah loves them, which is why she listed them as her favourite frames in her annual “Favorite Things List” back in 2019. (The Marquee and That’s a Wrap frames are highlighted on this yr’s checklist.) I really like them a lot, I bought 4 pairs so I can stash them on my nightstand, in my purse, and on my desk. As for the final pair? I took them to my eye physician to have the lenses fitted for my prescription, so after I’m not sporting my contacts (sure, I would like readers though I put on contacts), I can use them as my common glasses. 

The Bravado frames are outsized and have a retro, chunky look. What I really like about them is that they don’t seem to be boring and look distinctly totally different from conventional readers displayed at your native Walgreens. I am not shy about having to tug out my readers to have a look at my telephone or a menu in a restaurant as a result of they elevate my look.

Apart from Bravado, Peepers options a wide range of types, all below $30. Every body is customizable for prescription-strengths starting from +1.00 to +3.00.  You may also organize them as progressives for an additional $10. Even for those who do not want studying glasses, you’ll be able to stick rock a pair of Peepers with no correction (they’re additionally accessible as sun shades); plus all lenses are blue-light blocking to assist alleviate strained eyes from an excessive amount of display time, both in your pc or scrolling by TikTok (responsible). Even higher, every pair has UV400 safety, a twin anti-scratch lens, in addition to a seven-layer, anti-reflective coating. That is a variety of worth for such little cash.
