These are the magnifying sunglasses that are infused with melanin to protect the eyes from sun damage and strain while reading outdoors. Melanin is a pigment in the eyes that naturally shields from glare and UV damage, but it decreases as you age, about 50% by age 65. Exclusive to Hammacher Schlemmer, these reading glasses compensate with a synthetic melanin that filters out damaging rays and glare while improving contrast, so users can see print more clearly without squinting or straining in bright daylight. Perfect for the patio or beach, the magnified lenses combine the benefits of readers and sunglasses, so there is no need to fumble with two pairs. The lenses have a scratch-resistant coating for durability, and the frames are made from lightweight yet durable plastic. Not available for shipment to New York. Gray. 5 1/2" L x 5" W x 1" D. (1 lb.)
