Frames
Accessories for glasses
Buying a pair of glasses is an investment, both financially and in the health of your eyes. A range of accessories has been created to help you care for your glasses, ensuring their performance. Taking care of your glasses is now easier than ever, with products to maintain your frames and keep your lenses clean and protected.
Ready Readers
Ready Readers are an ideal accompaniment to your normal prescription glasses. Ready Readers are ready when you are, ensuring you'll always have access to a pair of reading glasses when you need them. A Ready Reader multi-pack provides the option of keeping a spare pair of reading glasses by your bedside or next to your computer, so you'll have instant access to clear vision whenever you need it. Ready Readers are fitted with simple magnifying lenses and do not act as correction lenses, but are useful for everyday reading around the home.
Lens cloths
The surface of your glasses, whether glass or plastic, is delicate and easily scratched. Using the corner of a jumper to wipe everyday dust and marks from the lenses can damage them. At Vision Express we supply specially designed lens cloths to clean your lenses safely and without risking the delicate surface. The soft cloth cleans smears and smudges from your glasses - these can reduce the effectiveness of your glasses if allowed to build up, particularly when driving. The high-density construction of the micro-thin lens cloth fibres absorbs grease and moisture far more effectively than other materials.
Lens wipes
There's nothing worse than a grease stain or smudge right in the middle of your glasses. However, Vision Express' lens wipes are specifically designed to clean and polish all types of lenses, both glass and plastic. The impregnated cloth quickly removes stubborn grease marks and smears, leaving the surface of your lenses spotlessly clean. Lens wipes are also anti-static, so dust particles are not attracted to the surface of your lenses, keeping them cleaner for longer. The cleaning fluid evaporates and dries quickly, leaving your lenses like new. Please note that lens wipes are not suitable for use on contact lenses.
Elastic sports band
If you wear glasses but have an active lifestyle, an elastic sports band helps to keep your glasses in place - even during tough outdoor activities. Elastic sports bands are easily attached, and designed to work on both glasses and sunglasses - preventing glasses slipping or falling. Perfect for sports, leisure activities and even at work, the elastic sports band fits any size and is adjustable for maximum comfort. The band is also washable and is a worthwhile investment if you enjoy a more active life and need to wear glasses or sunglasses.
Cushioned nose pads
If you wear your glasses for prolonged periods, they can irritate the delicate skin on the bridge of the nose through pressure and rubbing. This rubbing may be particularly noticeable if you have a slightly heavier style of frame. Cushioned nose pads give you additional comfort when wearing glasses, and the soft pad prevents your skin from becoming irritated or sore. Nose pads can also stop your frames from slipping - particularly useful when working at a desk or on your laptop. The cushioned nose pads have an adhesive back for easy application, taking only a few seconds to put in place and providing lasting comfort.
3-in-1 metal screwdriver
The 3-in-1 screwdriver is an essential piece of equipment if you want to maintain your glasses and keep them in perfect condition. The screwdriver comes with both regular and Phillips style ends to secure any type of screw on glasses or sunglasses. A loose screw can mean the difference between a pair of glasses that fit comfortably and a pair that sit uncomfortably on your face. However, a few seconds with a screwdriver can eliminate loosening both on the arms of the glasses frame and on the lenses. The 3-in-1 metal screwdriver pack comes with two spare locking screws.
Dualies - two holders in one
Dualies are the common name for the cord that can be attached to your glasses to keep them safe. The cord has the flexibility to be worn in two different ways, simply by attaching or removing the end pieces. Dualies can be worn as a rugged sports band by attaching to the temple ends of the frame, keeping your glasses in place during activity. Alternatively, you can use the cord as a conventional glasses holder by slipping the ends onto the arms of the glasses and wearing around your neck. Dualies can be used on both glasses and sunglasses, and remove that age-old problem of putting your glasses down and forgetting where you left them!
