Peepers Readers: My Review
Today, I am sharing my experience with Peepers readers. Once I turned 40, I soon realized the need for readers when reading a book, using my phone and reading on my computer. Now that I am 47, I make sure to have a pair of readers everywhere: in my purse, by my computer, on my nightstand or simply on my head! I wear contacts but switching to progressive contacts would be costly and might lead to headaches. Readers allow me to read everything from ingredients and recipes, blog posts and texts!
My main issue with the cheap readers you find in grocery stores/drugstores has been that they often are not sturdy and stretch out, and do not stay on my head. They also do not have lots of choices. I bought a couple pairs a couple of years ago from Peepers and was very impressed by the quality of the glasses. The try on feature is fun when you are unsure what you would like.
This new pair (gifted) is the Desert Sunrise and part of the new Spring collection. I decided to try something a little different than what I am used to. I really like the color and larger frame size. Do I like them as much as my older pair?
I am not sure! They are lighter than my other pair which makes me a little unsure of their sturdiness. However, I have worn them for a few weeks and they stay on my head, so lighter might not be a bad thing. I didn’t realize that Peepers also carried reader sunglasses which I thought was really cool as I often read outside on my egg chair just like in the pictures above. I am very pleased with this new addition to my readers collection.
Here is my older pair which you often see on top of my head when I take pictures for the blog. I often forget I have readers on my person because I need them so often and put them on top of my head 90% of the time. Do you wear readers? Do you have any particular brands you have liked?
A bientôt!

I just love the color of the new pair on you Mireille (of course I would say that, right?)
I ended up just going with progressive lenses once this stage set in, haha. So I’ve never really had readers.

I am about at that stage myself! It is frustrating to have to wear the readers so much!

I love these new readers, Mireille! They really accentuate your eyes! I wish I only needed readers! For years, I wore contacts and even had some success with bifocal contacts. Eventually, I had to switch to glasses and have worn them now for several years.

I found some dupes for this brand on Amazon! Here’s a link for them…you just have to know your strength, but what I love about them is that they’re also blue light blocking. I get compliments on them each time I wear them!

That’s the link for them above, in case you want to check them out. Six pairs come in one pack for that price, and I just received my second set of these so that I can leave them all over the house and at work.

I will have to check them out next time I break a pair!

I don’t have readers but when the time comes and I need one I will try Peepers. I love both pairs that you own but I really love the ombré pair. It looks great on you!

I think the new pair are really fun, Mireille! I love the shape of them. You’re lucky that you only have to use glasses for reading. I have to wear mine all the time and it drives me nuts how dirty they get lol!

I wear my contacts at all times. At this point I probably should switch to progressive lenses because I can’t see anything close!
