The Upgrade You Didn't Know You Needed

Most people start with chemist readers because they’re convenient and cheap. But they break easily, pinch your nose, and rarely suit your face.

Vital glasses are different. Our signature chunky frames offer a premium, luxury aesthetic, while remaining lightweight.

With flexible arms designed for all-day comfort, you won't experience any slipping or pinching.

They’re so comfortable, you’ll forget you’re wearing them.

One Pair is Never Enough

Once our customers try Vital Readers, they usually come back for more. Keep a pair in the car, one at your office, and one in your bag so you're never caught squinting at a menu again.

That's why we created the Bundle Deal. Simply mix and match any two frames and receive two premium hard cases free, saving you $40.

“Just love my new Vital glasses they fit perfectly and are so lightweight that I can comfortably wear them for hours. The stylish design of these glasses is a major plus, and the durability has exceeded my expectations. They are easy to wear on my head as I switch from reading to other activities. Thank you for creating such a fantastic product.”

The Vital Difference

We've helped thousands of people improve their vision through our Teed St optometry practice, but not everyone needs prescription glasses.

We were frustrated by the lack of stylish, high-quality readers for our clients, so we set out to change that.

Backed by 35+ years in optometry and eyewear design, we’ve reimagined ready-to-wear readers using precision optical lenses, modern styling and flattering fits.

We're proud to bring you readers that feel as good as they look, from desk to dinner.

Your Questions, Answered

Can I take Vital frames to my optometrist to have my prescription put in?

Vital Ready Readers are premium-quality frames with two key design features that make them excellent readers but unsuitable for use as prescription glasses:

  1. Front Ridge Design: The ridge holds the lens very securely, making it difficult to remove and replace with prescription lenses.
  2. Spring Hinges: Built for comfort and a snug fit across different head sizes, but this hinge isn't adjustable, making them unsuitable for progressive lenses, which require precise hinge adjustments.

I have a wider face, which frames will be best?

We recommend the Andi, Dale, Jude and Tate styles for wider faces.

I have a small face, which frames will be best?

For Women: Consider the following, depending on your personal style.

  • Alex
  • Lucy
  • Toni

For Men: Consider the following, depending on your personal style.

  • Alex
  • Milo
  • Toni

What if I don’t like the style or fit when it arrives? Can I swap or return it?

Absolutely. You have 30 days to return your frames for a full refund or exchange, just keep everything in original condition including packaging and lens stickers.
