STYLISH AND HIGH QUALITY READYING GLASSES, DESIGNED IN AOTEAROA.

VITAL READING GLASSES. Emerging from the frustration of not being able to source a stylish, high quality and affordable range of ready readers for their clientele at Michael Holmes Premium Eyewear, owners Kay McFarlane and Michael Holmes decided to apply their combined 30 plus years industry experience and create their own unique range. Read more about their story or view the full range here.

High Quality Reading Glasses With A Timeless Aesthetic.  
With a nod to the stylish and enduring aesthetic of mid-century design, the collection of 14 designs are available in 4 elegant colourways and 5 reading powers.  The range is manufactured to the highest standards with carefully designed 7-8mm frame fronts, sculptured temples and stainless steel temples, all adding durability.

Timeless in design, thoughtful in quality; our premium reading glasses offer a comfortable and flattering fit for every face shape.
 

Skilfully made out of repurposed bottles and plastic containers.
Extensive research allowed us to put discarded bottles and plastic containers to good use as a strong and durable material for optical frames. We wanted our range to be more earth friendly, to last the test of time and stay out of landfills.  So our priority was to create a high quality and stylish range of design classics, transcending passing trends.
