Holidays, summer, sun... like us, you dream of lazing around, reading on a deckchair on the beach, by a swimming pool, a lake or simply in your garden. It's the perfect time to read! To fully enjoy these special moments, don't forget your reading sunglasses.

reading sunglasses

In the sun, on the pages of your open book or on your e-reader, the sun reflects. This bright reflection on the white pages causes glare and often leads to watery eyes. Reading then becomes unpleasant and tiring. For more comfort, you can wear a hat and invest in a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses is essential for everyone, whether you wear glasses or not, wear contact lenses, and whatever your age!

For those under 40, Varionet offers a wide selection of non-prescription sunglasses equipped with category 3 polarized or non-polarized lenses.

For presbyopic individuals over 40, Varionet offers non-prescription reading sunglasses; indeed, it is possible to equip all our glasses (excluding pre-mounted ones) with solar progressive lenses in G15 tint (grey-green color) and category 3.

These glasses will provide you with:

  • Safety: your eyes are protected from the photo-toxicity of UV rays, whose effects are harmful to the cornea, lens, and retina.
  • Protection: the ocular adnexa are protected; the skin of the eyelids and surrounding the eyes is thin and fragile and is prone to skin cancer.
  • Comfort: thanks to category 3 lenses, the glare caused by sunlight bouncing off your book is greatly reduced. With progressive sunglasses, there's no need to hold your book further away to read, and your field of vision is wider and deeper than with a simple pair of magnifying glasses.

Choosing your reading sunglasses:

  • Choose your reading glasses as you would choose sunglasses; do not hesitate to choose a pair of glasses larger than your clear glasses: your eyes and eyelids will be better protected.
  • Choose the same correction as for your usual non-prescription presbyopia glasses.
  • Opt for the Grey/Green G15 Solar Lenses - Cat. 3 option.

Happy reading!
