Yes. If you have the correct strength and they feel comfortable, Daily Readers can be worn for prolonged close-up tasks such as reading.

No. Wearing reading glasses does not make your eyesight deteriorate faster. Your near vision naturally changes over time, which is why you may eventually need a different strength.

No. Your eyes don't become weaker or dependent on reading glasses because you use them.

You can wear them for as long as they're comfortable for the close-up task you're doing. Daily Readers are designed for near vision, so you'll generally want to remove them when looking into the distance.

We don't recommend it. Because Daily Readers magnify close-up vision, objects in the distance may appear blurred.

No. Magnifying reading glasses are designed for close-up vision and should not be used for driving.

Absolutely. Phones, books, menus, labels and recipes are exactly the kinds of close-up tasks reading glasses are designed for.

Yes. Daily Readers can be used for close-up tasks where magnification helps you see smaller details more comfortably.

Use your readers at your normal comfortable reading distance rather than trying to adjust yourself to the glasses. For our Daily Reading Strength Test Chart, we use a distance of approximately 35 cm.

Absolutely. Once you know the strength that works for you, you can choose different Daily shapes and colours in the same magnification.

There's no set number. Many Daily customers keep different pairs at home, at work, in their bag, beside the bed or wherever they regularly need them.

Yes, depending on your vision and how far you sit from your screen. A computer screen usually sits further away than a book or phone, so some people find a slightly lower magnification more comfortable for computer work.

Not necessarily. Because your computer usually sits further away than your normal reading distance, some people prefer a slightly lower strength at the computer.

Reading glasses provide magnification for close-up vision. Computer glasses may be used for the slightly longer working distance of a computer screen. Daily Screen glasses also feature blue-light-reducing lenses.

Blue-light glasses use lenses designed to reduce some blue light reaching your eyes. Reading glasses provide magnification. Daily Screen glasses can provide both when you choose a magnifying strength.

Daily Screen glasses feature blue-light-reducing lenses. They are available both without magnification and with reading magnification.

+0 means there is no reading magnification. You still receive the blue-light-reducing lens, just without magnification.

Choosing a strength means your Screen glasses combine blue-light reduction and reading magnification. For example, +1 Screen glasses have blue-light-reducing lenses together with +1 reading magnification.

Yes. Choose a magnifying Daily Screen strength and the glasses provide both blue-light reduction and reading magnification.

They can. Choose +0 for no magnification, or select one of the available + strengths if you need reading magnification as well.

No. +0 means zero magnification.

Yes. Choose +0.

Daily Sun Readers combine a Category 3 sunglass lens with reading magnification. They're designed so you can read outdoors without constantly switching between sunglasses and reading glasses.

Reading sunglasses combine a sunglass lens with reading magnification in the same pair of glasses.

Yes. That's exactly what Daily Sun Readers are designed to do. Choose your usual reading strength and you'll have both a sunglass lens and reading magnification.

No. Daily Sun Readers are Category 3 sunglasses but are not polarised.

Category 3 lenses are designed for bright sunlight and high levels of sun glare, making them suitable for normal outdoor sunglass use.

+0 means there is no reading magnification. Choose +0 if you simply want to wear the frame as sunglasses.

Choosing a strength combines sunglasses with reading magnification. For example, a +1 Sun Reader functions as a sunglass while also providing +1 reading magnification.

Yes. The selected reading strength applies across the lens.

Yes. Choose +0.

No. Magnifying Sun Readers are designed for close-up vision rather than distance vision. Choose +0 for normal sunglass use.

Yes. Our frames are designed to be worn by anyone.

No. Every time-of-day style has its own shape, proportions and fit.

Start with the type of eyewear you already feel confident wearing. If you love bold glasses, choose one of our larger statement frames. If you prefer something more subtle, choose a finer or more refined shape. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll happily help you choose.

11am is our largest frame and is ideal if you love a bold, oversized look.

10am, 11am, 12pm and 3pm are good places to start if you prefer a larger statement frame.

10am, 11am and 12pm are among our bolder statement shapes. 3pm also offers a strong oversized rounded look.

7am, 8am and 9am are good places to start if you prefer something slightly more refined.

As a general guide: 6am — bold square; 7am — rounded with finer temples; 8am — rounded square; 9am — rounded rectangle; 10am — larger statement frame; 11am — our largest frame; 12pm — bold statement frame; 1pm — bold rectangle; 2pm — thick rectangle; 3pm — oversized round.

Start with one of our more refined shapes such as 7am, 8am or 9am. Fit is personal, so contact us if you'd like help choosing.

Start with 10am, 11am, 12pm or 3pm.

Our finer and more refined shapes are generally the best place to start. We're also adding more detailed sizing information to individual styles to make choosing online easier.

Our larger statement styles such as 10am, 11am and 12pm are worth exploring.

Your frames should feel secure without pinching your temples or putting uncomfortable pressure behind your ears or across your nose. They shouldn't continually slide down while you're using them.

Daily Eyewear is designed in New Zealand.

Yes. Daily Eyewear is a New Zealand-designed eyewear brand.

Daily frames are designed in-house by founder Hollie Reedy, who has more than 16 years of eyewear design experience.

Yes. Daily designs its frames in-house and owns the moulds used to produce them.

Yes. Our frames are designed specifically for Daily rather than being generic ready-made frames with a Daily logo added.

Daily was created to make reading glasses feel like an accessory rather than something you reluctantly need. We focus on original design, frame shape, colour, finish, comfort and quality — making readers you'll actually want to wear.

We approach reading glasses with the same design attention normally given to fashion eyewear. That means original shapes, strong colour options, considered finishes and frames designed to be seen rather than hidden.

Absolutely not. That's one of the reasons Daily exists. We think needing reading magnification shouldn't mean compromising on what you want your glasses to look like.

Stylish reading glasses combine the practical magnification you need with the design, shape, colour and finish you'd expect from fashion eyewear.

Yes. Daily frames feature spring-loaded hinges for flexibility and everyday comfort.

Our new ranges introduced from 2025 onwards use recycled materials across the frames, lenses and packaging. Earlier Daily collections may use different materials.

Daily ranges introduced from 2025 onwards use recycled materials, and this will continue across future ranges.

Recycled reading glasses use recycled materials within components such as the frames, lenses or packaging rather than relying entirely on newly produced materials.

Daily frames are designed in New Zealand and manufactured by our specialist eyewear production partners to our designs and specifications.

Readers have a habit of being exactly where you aren't. Many customers keep one pair at work, one at home, another in their bag or beside the bed. Different frame shapes and colours also let you treat your readers as part of what you're wearing.

Absolutely.

Yes. If one strength works comfortably for you, there's no reason you can't own several different Daily frames in that strength.

Use a clean microfibre cloth and, where necessary, a lens-safe cleaning product.

We don't recommend it. Harsh household cleaning products can damage eyewear coatings, lenses or frames.

Keep them in their case when you're not wearing them to help protect the frames and lenses.

We don't recommend leaving eyewear exposed to extreme heat for long periods, as high temperatures can affect frames and lenses.

Store your glasses in their case, avoid placing them lens-down on surfaces and always use a clean microfibre cloth when cleaning them.

Keep them clean, store them in their case and avoid excessive heat or harsh cleaning products.
