Reading Glasses
Conventional Reading Glasses
There are lots of reading glasses and readers on the market and most are made of wasteful and polluting plastic and often end up in landfills or our oceans.
The majority of reading glasses, readers, and sunglasses carry heavy metals and exposed you to toxic chemicals under the California Proposition 65 Warning.
What is the California Proposition 65 Warning?
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment provides the public with information on chemicals, products, and locations often associated with Proposition 65 warnings. These warnings inform Californians about their exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Sustainable Reading Glasses
🌎All the reading glasses on this page are constructed using sustainable and renewable materials such as wood, recycled plastic, and eco-friendly packaging to keep the planet cleaner and greener.
On this page, you will find only sunglasses WITHOUT the California Proposition 65 Warning.
🌿I listed here companies that re-use and repurpose the excess materials to create new eyewear. Other brands use natural materials such as bamboo, Walnut, Beechwood, and Zebra Wood. 😍
