Do you need a good pair of glasses to read route guide sheets and the GPS display screen?

Following interest in my cycling glasses over the years, I am providing details below of the selection I keep: -

		Yellow in stock in 1.5, 2.0 & 2.5 magnification diopter-bifocal, wrap around lens				Stylish gold mirror wrap around lens. (no diopter-bifocal)				Tortoise Shell in 1.5 magnification, diopter-bifocal, wrap around lens

My gold mirrored glasses are great for the cyclist's eye protection, being in almost intimate contact all around the eyes. The shading is fine on a bright day but may be a little dark on a dull day depending on your preference. These are for sale at £16 including postage.

Reading an audax route sheet or your GPS display may prove more difficult as your eyes deteriorate!

My bifocal wrap-around glasses will enable you to see the text much more clearly while protecting your eyes from UV radiation and insects. These glasses incorporate a magnifying diopter window positioned exactly where needed to see the road ahead and to focus very clearly on the guide sheet or GPS with no more than a small eye movement.

The tortoise shell glasses have dark brown bifocal lenses and these are great on bright days, reducing glare and protecting the eyes. Most popular by far are the yellow lensed glasses which also have the magnifying diopter window in 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 magnifying strengths. These are fine in bright and dull days. The yellow are for sale at £20 and the tortoise shell at £18, both including postage.

This a close up photo of the diopter-bifocal arrangement on the yellow lensed glasses of 1.5 magnification. I confess that I don't understand how the diopter works, as it does so well. It is not just a simple magnifying glass of fixed focal length!   If you would like to try a pair of my glasses, on a 'sale or return' basis, then email rossjeal@gladestry.com or call 01544.370312 You can pay by PayPal, cheque or cash!

Description of the tortoise shell and yellow lensed diopter-bifocal glasses: -

Stylish magnifying diopter-bifocal glasses combine an ergonomic nylon frame with a sleek 7 base polycarbonate lense for the ultimate in sportsmen's eyewear protection. Soft rubber nose pad with self-adjusting fingers for all day comfort. The glasses exceed ANSI Z87.1 standards and have ultra violet protection up to 400 nanometers. Available in black frame with clear or yellow lenses and tortoise frame with brown tint sunglass lenses and in three diopter strengths (+1.5 power, +2.0 power, +2.5 ). Precise placement of bi-focal lens inserts helps prevent accidents, headaches and eyestrain. This glass is great for any physical activity including flying, cycling, hunting & fishing.
