Reading Glasses for Crafts and Computer Use with Magnetic Neck Cord, Strengths +1,00 to +3,50, Lightweight Plastic | Sansoti

When crafting, you take your glasses off twenty times an hour

Anyone who crochets, sews, builds models, or does small repairs knows the routine: glasses on to work, glasses off to find the thread, glasses misplaced. These reading glasses have a magnetic neck cord with a click clasp: unclip them at the bridge and they hang around your neck straight away, without needing to set them down anywhere. You can clip them back on with one hand, which is exactly what you need when crafting. The glasses are available in strengths from +1.00 to +3.50, have a lightweight plastic frame, and come with a flexible fabric neck cord. Available in red or gray.

Why they’re suited to precision work

• Magnetic click clasp at the bridge: easy to unclip with one hand, so you don’t have to put your work down to take off your glasses.
• Flexible fabric neck cord: your glasses stay around your neck instead of disappearing among the yarn or parts.
• Strengths from +1.00 to +3.50: a wide range lets you choose the strength that suits your reading distance.
• Lightweight construction: you’ll notice the difference during work that takes an hour or more, since heavier frames can press on your nose.
• Also for computer work and reading: the same glasses for screen work, reading a book, or detailed work at the table.
• Plastic frame with magnetic connection: the magnet is built into the frame, with no loose clip that can break.
• Red or gray: two colors; clean with a soft glasses cloth.

Choosing the right strength

When crafting, you’re generally closer to your work than when reading, so don’t automatically choose the strength you use for a book — going half a step higher often works better. A practical test: hold your work at the distance you normally would and try the glasses from there. If you’re unsure between two strengths, the lower one is more comfortable for longer sessions, while the higher one gives you sharper vision at close range. Clean the lenses with a soft glasses cloth, not paper, as paper can cause fine scratches. If you want to know which strength is right for your eyes or your vision changes noticeably, have it checked by an optician — reading glasses bought online are not a substitute for an eye test.
