MAGNETICO READING GLASSES:

Magneticos is revolutionary magnetic Eyewear which allows you to never lose your glasses. They simply work by the bridge of the glasses opening and closing with a magnet, the design of the glasses when not using them allows you to leave the Magnetic Bridge open and your glasses hanging around your neck. This has many advantages as you don’t have to look for where your glasses are and you don’t have to worry about breaking them as they are simply around your neck.

We have developed 2 types of Magnetic Readers,

  1. RigidBands
  2. FlexiBand.

RigidBand: Magnetic Reader Headband is made of PC Material with a Fixed Band.

FlexiBand: Magnetic Reader Headband is made of Rubber Material with Flexible Band.

FLEXIBAND V RIGIDBAND?

Rigid vs flexible magnetic reading glasses

We are often asked which are the best? This is of course a personal choice as we have customers that prefer RigidBand & other customers who would prefer FlexiBand. Advantages with FlexiBand over RigidBand would be that you can fold up glasses, Band is more durable, fit is generally more comfortable, however I have customers that prefer the RigidBand because the fit is tighter to your head so therefore I have people like electricians rather them because they want them very tight to their head if for instance there upside down working in an attic, but it really is a personal choice!!

HAWKS V MAGNETIC READERS?

magnetic reading glasses

We are often asked which are the best? This is of course a personal choice as we have customers that prefer Hawks & other customers who would prefer Magnetic Readers. Generally, people with long hair find the Magnetic readers more difficult to use as they can mess the side of your hair when you open and close them, so it is recommended to wear your hair up if you are using the magnetic readers, you will find them easier to use. Hawk Readers would be easier to use as the work more like an ordinary pair of readers but because of the clever innovation catch design allows the glasses to cling to your neck so in a way it’s very similar functionality to the Magnetic Readers, however the Magnetic Readers would be more secure on your neck than Magnetic Readers but again it really is a personal choice!! I have customers that have bought both Hawks & Magnetic Readers and find both very useful as it could depend on the type of work or lifestyle you are using the reading glasses for.

CHOOSING THE BEST MAGNETIC READING GLASSES:

We have attached a PDF File that you can print off an eyechart at the comfort of your home or office onto an A4 Page or alternatively just use the eyechart from the computer/tablet screen, Please follow the instructions on the attachment. This eyechart will indicate the most suitable Strength of reading glasses however because customer service is so important to us once you have received your order and you are not happy with the strength you have picked, you can post back the incorrect power and we will post you back the required strenght free of charge. We do this at Magneticos as we care about our customers.

PRESCRIPTION READING GLASSES:

All 3 ranges Magneticos FlexiBand, Magneticos RigidBand & Hawks can all be glazed for prescription by your optician. We stock over half the opticians in Ireland but some opticians will advise that if they don’t stock the product and you bring glasses into be glazed they will advise that they cannot stand over the frames if the snap during the glazing, however with Magneticos glasses we will cover the warranty whether it is one of our stockists or not we will replace the glasses and send them directly to the optician to glaze again, so you the customer does not have to worry about any problems as we will sort them and look after you.

STYLISH READING GLASSES:

We like to think that our 3 ranges in Magneticos are all stylish readers but our main priority with the eyewear that it is functional. With over 8 strengths covered in all our ranges with up to 6 colours in all our ranges we are constantly updating our colours and models with the 3 ranges to always give our customers great choice and to give our customers new fresh colours depending on the season, we like to think we have 3 stylish ranges,

Conservative Straight Talker: (Darker Colours or Mono tone Colours),

Inbetweener: They need to be Conservative but would also like to add a dash of colour for that Friday after work social (Duo Tone).

DO I NEED READING GLASSES:

By downloading our reading chart and following the instructions this will indicate and guide you what strength you are, if you can read +1 with the naked eye you do not need reading glasses, it is also advised that you wear the correct strength as by wearing a strength to high will will weaken and make your eyes more strained. So it is always advisable to wear lesser strength readers, also we would advise to call to an opticians at least every 2 years for a check up, they will advise you of the correct strenght you should be wearing and will also give you a full up to date eye health check as well in case there was hidden problems like Glaucoma.
