Zenni Reading Glasses Vs Others

Zenni’s non-prescription reading glasses are made with a higher-quality lens than what you find in drug stores and department stores. Each pair of our non-prescription reading glasses includes optical grade lenses with scratch-resistant coating, UV protection, and anti-reflective coating, which your average OTC readers don’t have. Additionally, the power of Zenni’s lenses is carefully calibrated to provide the optimal level of strength, ensuring clarity and quality of vision for readers of all needs.

So, is there a difference between having special coatings on your lenses or not if you’re just wearing them to read? Simply put, yes.

• Anti-reflective coating: Not only does anti-reflective coating make your glasses easier to clean by preventing oil, water, and dirt from sticking to the lenses, it also decreases the amount of light that reflects off the lens. This reduces eyestrain and improves vision, particularly in artificial light, helping to improve focus and alleviate the symptoms of presbyopia, making it easier to see words and objects up close.
• Scratch-resistant coating: You can extend the life of your lenses by protecting them from scratches. The coating also makes the lens harder, which can be helpful if your glasses get dropped on the floor. (It’s important to  remember that these coatings only resist scratching, and don’t prevent it from occurring.)
• UV Protection: Overexposure to ultraviolet light is thought to contribute to developing certain eye conditions, such as cataracts,  macular degeneration, and eye surface damage.

Customize Your Blue Light Readers

You can also customize your non-prescription readers to meet your specific reading needs with special add-ons that you won’t find other places, including:

• Blokz blue light-blocking lenses to protect your eyes while you watch and scroll on your devices.
• Photochromic lenses for readers that darken automatically in bright sunlight for outdoor use.
• High index 1.61 lenses for thinner and lighter reading glasses.
• Clip-ons and engraving to personalize your frames.
