Half eye reading glasses are designed to be worn down the nose, so that you can look over the top of the frame for distance, and then look "down your nose" through the lens when reading. You can see a huge selection of half-eye frames by using our advanced search function. But here are some of our favorites. Many people need magnification to read, but do not need a correction for their distance vision. For example, you are sitting in your favorite cafe reading a book or computer. The door opens and someone walks in so you look up. You can see them over the top of your half eye reading glasses without moving your head.
