Magnetic reading glasses: what they are, how they work and benefits

Magnetic reading glasses are one of Didinsky's signature innovations: a front that opens and closes with a magnet so you can put them on and off in one click and wear them around your neck without losing them. In this guide we explain what they are, how they work and why more and more people with presbyopia choose them.

What are magnetic reading glasses?

They are presbyopia glasses (for seeing up close) whose front separates in the centre thanks to a magnet. With no arms to fold and no case to look for, you open them, close them and hang them around your neck in one gesture. Ideal for anyone who takes their glasses on and off many times a day: reading, cooking, working or checking their phone.

How do they work? The patented magnetic system

Each frame has a neodymium magnetic front that joins the two halves firmly and precisely: just bring them close and they align by themselves. It's a safe mechanism that doesn't damage the frame and withstands intensive daily use. At Didinsky this system is patented (EUIPO design 009059033-0001; KRK/DiKrik system, patent U202231239), the result of years of in-house development in Barcelona.

Benefits over traditional reading glasses

• Always at hand: they hang around your neck when you're not using them.
• One gesture: they open and close without folding arms.
• Long-lasting magnets: neodymium doesn't lose strength over time.
• Lightweight and comfortable, made for daily use.
