SHOP SYDNEY - $145
You forget your readers because they were never designed to be carried.
Bulky cases. Glasses that stay at home. Sydney was designed for your pocket.
Meet Sydney.
Engineered to go where you go. Sydney slides into a pocket-sized sliding case and weighs almost nothing. Swiss nylon. Japanese medical-grade titanium. High-index 1.60 Japanese glass lenses. This isn't a compromise — it's an upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Sydney different from regular readers?
Sydney was designed to be the reading glasses you actually carry. It folds flat and fits in any pocket — no bulky case, no bag required. That's possible because of Swiss nylon frames, Japanese medical-grade titanium hinges, and high-index 1.60 Japanese glass lenses built for daily carry, not your nightstand.
How do I know what lens strength I need?
If you already wear readers, go with your current strength. If you're unsure, check our [diopter chart] to find the right fit, or start with +1.50 — our most popular strength. You can always exchange within 30 days if you need a different one.
What's included with my purchase?
Every Sydney comes with two protective sliding cases — one for your jacket, one for your desk — a microfiber cleaning cloth, free shipping, a 30-day return policy, and a lifetime guarantee on both your glasses and cases.
Can I return or exchange Sydney?
Absolutely. If Sydney isn't for you, send them back within 30 days for a full refund — no questions asked. Free returns.
Are these prescription glasses?
Sydney is a premium reading glass with magnification strengths from +1.00 to +2.75 — not custom prescription lenses. The high-index 1.60 Japanese glass lenses deliver distortion-free clarity that outperforms standard readers at any strength.
