Readers with Flexible Bows and Ear Grippers

These lightweight frames bend without snapping when dropped on the kitchen floor or tucked into a sweater pocket. Soft rubber grippers hold the ear pieces right where they belong, so they will not slide down a nose while someone tends the garden or reads the evening paper. WalterDrake keeps several strengths in the catalog.

Flexible frame bows

The bows bend wide and spring right back to shape. They hold up when someone falls asleep on the sofa or sits on them by mistake in the easy chair.

Soft rubber grippers

A textured sleeve fits over the end of each ear piece. It gently hugs behind the ears so the glasses stay steady while looking down at sewing or recipes.

Light on the face

The thin construction sits lightly on the bridge of the nose. It feels comfortable through hours of working jigsaw puzzles or reading the morning mail at the table.

Magnifications for close work

Choose the strength that matches what she needs for fine print on pill bottles or threading a needle. The clear lenses make small type crisp again.
