3.One week. That’s all it takes.

It can take up to a week. Your eyes need time to learn which part of the lens to use. Start wearing them first thing in the morning and move your head, not just your eyes. The more you wear them, the easier it gets, and in a week’s time you’ll forget you’re even wearing them.

4.Why not just drugstore readers?

Drugstore readers make you look old, and they only correct one distance, so they come on and off all day. LOOK OPTIC progressives are frames you’ll actually want to be seen in: the cornerstone of your outfit, not an afterthought, with near, middle and far in one pair.

Not sure how they’ll look on you? Our Virtual Try-On is true-to-size, so you know exactly how they’ll fit. No surprises. Tap the try-on button on a frame in the collection to see it on your face.

6.Try them at home for 90 days

Wear them for 90 days - to dinner, to work, on vacation. If they're not right for you, send them back, or exchange them for a different pair or a pair of readers. But do try to give them a week or so if you can.

    Love these glasses!

    I was skeptical because I’ve tried other progressive readers and it felt like I was looking through a fish bowl! These are perfect for reading and I can see well through the clear for distance. I have already recommended them to friends

    Game changer! I absolutely love and needed these! I wear my contacts and pop on my look-optics in the morning and wear them all day! I’m able to work on my computer, look at my phone. Or watch TV without thinking about it. They are stylish and comfortable! I’ve ordered another pair and tell everybody I know to get a pair!

    I'm a believer

    I am a long time drugstore reader wearer and was a little dubious that the extra money for these glasses was worth it. It is. The progressive lens makes it even better. They are light, chic, and look like a quality frame. I loved them so much, I ordered more. Thank you, Look!

    Life changer!

    No more walking around with a pair of cheaters hanging off my neckline. Up, down, up , down. Now wear, see and forget you’re wearing them. So much more stylish than the drugstore brands. Received compliments immediately!

    So…so…glad I gave them a try

    I’m so enjoying my new glasses. I was a little skeptical about purchasing them because I was not sure if I would be able to see, but I am impressed. The Laurel Progressive 2.50 are perfect, but I will need to exchange the Cosmos from 1.0 to 2.50. I would totally recommend LOOK to friends and family.

    Very stylish well made lenses. It took about a week to get used to the transition lenses but I love not having to dig in my bag for readers. I definitely recommend and will order another style to change the look.

    My new favorite readers

    I was hesitant to try the progressive readers, but was happily surprised. These are outstanding readers. It didn’t take me long to adjust to them at all, and it’s. Ice to not have to take them on and off. I just bought another pair and will definitely try some new styles and colors. Love them!

    Absolutely ❤️ my new progressives. I was really hesitate to spend that much on progressive glasses that weren’t prescription glasses through an optometrist. But they are so worth it!! I will be buying more!

    Stylish. Solid.

    The glasses are stylish but they are also sturdy and feel solid when I put them on and remove them. Quite an improvement over drugstore readers.

    Retro-style Meets All-day Comfort

    The sleek gold aviator silhouette and soft tint bring instant personality to any outfit, but the fit is what really won me over. I was originally hesitant about nose pads, but these are remarkably gentle and secure. The frame height is also ideal for progressive lenses—giving a wide, smooth transition from distance to close-up with zero compromise on style.

    very cool, great quality

    I'll be honest--I wasn't sure about these at first. They are very retro and a unique look but that's what makes them so cool. The pink tint brightens your face and the touch of gold on the frames is really pretty. I can't wait to wear these in the summer when I'm a little tanner and blonder!

    Great readers!!

    I am really enjoying them. At first I was worried because things seemed blurry. Then I read your advise about keep wearing them and I got used to them. Now everything seems fine.

Questions? We have the answers.

How long does it take to adjust to progressive lenses?

It could take up to a week, especially if you have never worn progressives before. Wear them consistently, starting first thing in the morning. The more you wear them, the easier it gets.

Are they comfortable enough to wear all day?

That’s the idea. Every LOOK OPTIC frame is lightweight and hypoallergenic, so you can wear them from morning to night.

Do I need a prescription for LOOK OPTIC Progressives?

No. Our progressive lenses come in magnifications from +1.00 to +3.00. Choose the one you use for regular readers. If it isn’t right, exchanges are free.

What if they don't work for me?

Try them at home for 90 days. If they’re not right for you, send them back, no questions asked. Exchanges are free.

What's the difference between progressive readers and bifocals?

Bifocals have a visible line separating two zones. Progressive readers move smoothly from distance to reading. No lines, no jumps.
