Great Gifts from Your Optician
Thoughtful presents for anyone who wears glasses.
Glasses are something people wear every day, which makes eyewear accessories and smart frames some of the most useful presents you can give. We have gathered a few favourites, from beautifully made glasses chains and cases to frames that take photos or help with hearing.
La Loop
La Loop makes glasses chains and necklaces with a signature loop, so you can hang your glasses round your neck and slip them on when you need them. Designs range from simple leather cords to beaded and jewellery-style chains. Each loop is adjustable and holds most frame styles securely.
ANY DI
Designed in Munich, ANY DI's SunCover is a clip-on glasses case that protects your lenses and fastens to a bag strap, so your sunglasses or readers are always within reach. Playful designs make it as much an accessory as a case. It fits most frame shapes and clips on and off in seconds.
Ray-Ban Meta
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses combine classic Ray-Ban styling with a built-in camera, open-ear speakers and microphones for photos, music and calls, hands free. Many styles can be made up with prescription lenses. The battery lasts through a typical day and recharges in its case.
Nuance Audio
Nuance Audio hearing glasses have discreet open-ear speakers built into the frame and are designed for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. They can be fitted with prescription lenses, so one pair helps with seeing and hearing. Volume and settings are adjusted from a simple phone app.
Fedon
Fedon has made glasses cases in Italy since 1919. Its hard cases and soft pouches come in fine leathers and bright colours, making a smart, practical gift for anyone with a favourite pair of frames. Each case is finished by hand in the company's Italian workshop.
Clic Readers
Clic readers connect at the bridge with a magnet, so they hang comfortably round your neck and click together at the front when you need them. No more lost or misplaced reading glasses, and a clever gift for anyone who is always looking for theirs. They come in a range of colours and reading strengths.
Porsche Design Readers
Porsche Design's 8801 reading glasses bring the brand's sleek, engineered look to readers, with a slim half-rim front and sporty temples. A stylish choice for someone who wants their reading glasses to look as good as their main pair. Lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day wear.
