Are you losing repeat customers—and damaging your brand reputation—because of heavy, brittle reading glasses that snap at the hinges after just a few weeks of use? Upgrading your optical catalog with our retro reading glasses instantly solves this retail pain point.

These retro reading glasses use a PC frame with matching PC lenses. The frame has a structured shape with slightly raised outer corners, giving the product a vintage appearance without making the design difficult to merchandise.

The frame structure is suitable for reading glasses collections sold through optical stores, pharmacies, lifestyle retailers, online stores, and other everyday eyewear channels.

The PC frame provides a practical option for buyers who need a lightweight plastic-frame reading glasses style for regular use. The clear PC lenses can be supplied in different reading powers to cover common consumer requirements.

The Target Market: Who Should Stock This Frame?

The modern +40 demographic no longer accepts boring, clinical “grandma glasses.” They demand optical wear that doubles as a fashion accessory.

This specific cat-eye silhouette is engineered for optical boutiques, pharmacy chains, and independent fashion brands in the US and European markets. The striking two-tone colorway—a deep, rich burgundy red exterior contrasted with a solid black interior—creates visual depth. It gives consumers the premium look of a handmade, multi-layered frame, but at a highly competitive wholesale price point.

Engineered for Durability: The PC Synergy

Many entry-level reading glasses use cheap acrylic (PMMA) or standard injection plastics, which warp under heat and crack under pressure. We refuse to compromise on core materials.

Shatter-Resistant PC Frames

Polycarbonate is an advanced thermoplastic. It boasts a specific gravity of just 1.2 g/cm³, meaning these frames are exceptionally lightweight, eliminating pressure on the wearer’s nose bridge during extended reading sessions. More importantly, PC is highly flexible and impact-resistant. Whether tossed into a handbag or left on a hot car dashboard, the frame retains its structural integrity and alignment.

Optical Grade PC Lenses

A high-quality frame is useless without precision optics. Our PC lenses are up to 10 times more impact-resistant than standard plastic lenses, easily passing stringent CE and FDA drop-ball tests. Furthermore, Jion Eyewear enforces strict quality control on the Pupillary Distance (PD) alignment and optical center during mass production. This ensures your end-users never experience the dizziness or eye strain commonly associated with low-tier factory manufacturing.

Comprehensive Diopter Range for Global Markets

Stocking the correct curve of magnifications is critical to maintaining high inventory turnover. We provide precision-molded lenses tailored to your market’s exact needs:

  • Standard Off-the-Shelf Range: +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, +2.50, +3.00, +3.50, and +4.00.

  • Specialized Customization: Prescriptions exceeding +4.00 require specific optical surfacing to prevent lens thickness from ruining the frame’s aesthetic. Our advanced production lines can custom-grind high-diopter lenses upon request, allowing you to serve niche, underserved demographics in your region.

Possible customization areas include:

  • Frame color: Develop colors suitable for the target market.
  • Lens power: Standard +1.0 to +4.0, with higher powers subject to customization.
  • Logo: Discuss suitable logo placement and production method. The logo printing methods we commonly use are: laser engraving, screen printing, and hot stamping.
  • Packaging: Customize packaging according to the brand’s retail requirements.
  • Product assortment: Combine different powers and frame colors into one collection.
  • Frame development: Discuss modifications or new development when the existing model does not meet the buyer’s requirements.

Customization depends on order requirements. Buyers should confirm the requested specifications before sampling.

How to Build a Reading Glasses Collection

A reading glasses collection should be planned around customer demand rather than simply adding more frame styles.

Start by selecting the reading power range. According to Jion Eyewear’s recent export volume analysis, magnification ratios of +1.50, +2.00, and +2.50 consistently show the highest repurchase rates among our European and American partners.

Next, choose several frame colors. Classic neutral colors can boost sales, while trendy colors can attract customers to the store or website.

Then consider price positioning and sales channels. A pharmacy, optical store, online retailer, and fashion-focused shop may require different frame selections and packaging.

Finally, decide whether to use existing models or develop customized designs. Existing models are useful when testing a new reading glasses range. ODM or OEM development becomes more relevant when the brand needs a distinct visual identity.
