I get mine at Amazon or any big box store. All kinds of retailers sell them. Some are pricey but I think it's crazy to spend so much on them.

I prefer quality lenses, not just plastic. I bought 3 pair from Amazon for $12.

Just shop around.

I got some cute ones, 3.0, Prive' Revaux here on QVC a few summers ago. I stopped wearing them only because I got new regular perscription progressives that tint outdoors, that I wear now. But I still love the PR ones, and got many compliments on them. I do still wear them when I have my contacts in. Not sure they're still here, but maybe they have other cute options. If I find them, or ones like them, I'll post the Item#. Amazon has a ton of readers to choose from.

@goldensrbest I did a search, unfortunately, all the Prive' Revaux sunglasses on Q now are not readers.

Also didn't see any Peepers sunglass readers here, another brand of reader I've gotten on Q I like. I'm wearing a pair of Blue Light ones now.

I'd check Amazon...tons of readers there, and they carry Peepers too. Good luck!

@goldensrbest

Joy Mangano HSN or her brand can also be found on Ebay mostly new in box.

She holds the record I believe for selling the most readers, she's done it for years.

Love her glasses, they last a long time.

Warby Parker makes quality readers but they are pricey. I buy cheapos because I have a couple dozen on them that I lose constantly. I bought Eyeguard bifocals from Amazon, I use them in the camper so that I can read maps and still see signs. They are pretty good but they do scratch if one is as careless with them as I am. Have my eye on a pair of Peepers . . .

@amybI've got sunglass readers from Peepers coming as we speak. I like getting them when they show up on GMA Steals & Deals at 1/2 off. I have one pair of 1.5 reader sunglasses in my car for driving and I have another pair coming for the truck along with 1 pair of regular readers to try for night driving as suggested by my ophthalmologist. For actual reading, I'm using 2.75's.

@goldensrbest I also purchase my "cheaters" from Peepers. They have sunglasses that are bifocal and progressive. Just received a bifocal pair strength 3.0. They frequently have sales. All of their eyewear has spring hinges. Be sure that you look at the return policy when buying sale.

Below is one of the pairs (the blue on the left) I bought for my DIL a couple of years ago for Christmas. Sofia Vergara's line with Foster Grant. When they were delivered I could not believe how sturdy, straight and well made. I bought her two pairs from the line.

If my prescription for regular glasses is just a slight change and I want new frames..I use the old frames and have then lenses tinted.

I find Prive Revaux to be the best regular readers so I'd try them. I have a pair of sunglass readers that I bought in Florida years ago before they became popular and available everyewhere. If I need a new pair I'll definitely order the Prive Revaux.

If not available on QVC just go to the PR website.

I have fit-over sunglasses for use with Rx glasses when driving. These would work for Rx reading glasses too.

@goldensrbest Regardless of brand, be sure to get full lens versions and not sunglasses with a little bifocal square because in my experience, they're a bit of a challenge to use effectively.

I really like the fit overs. I think once someone wears them they will like them,but they may not be glamorous enough for some.

@goldensrbest - I am also 2.5. I like Peepers "sunnies." I try to wait until I see them on sale! They hold up well.

I use them at the beach, and at home if I'm reading or working in the sunroom.

@goldensrbest I got a pair of Ryan Simkhai tinted readers after trying on my friend's readers. It's ryansimkhaieyeshop. They are:

UV 100 Protection
Highest Quality Scratch-Resistant Aspheric Lenses: thinner and light weight
Premium Polycarbonate: technology that provides a sturdier frame

You might want to do a little shopping at readers.com. They have a great selection of reader/sunglasses and I have the collection to prove it. Happy shopping!
