Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know what power I need for reading glasses?

If you've had an eye test in the last year, you can refer to the "Add" value on your prescription. If not, we offer a simple power guide based on age—just ask sales@read40.com for assistance.

2. Are your reading glasses available in prescription strengths?

Yes. We offer ready-to-wear powers from +0.75 to +3.00 in 0.25 steps. For now, we do not manufacture for custom prescriptions (like one eye stronger than the other or astigmatism.)

3. What type of lenses do you use?

All our lenses are precision-moulded optical-grade acrylic or CR-39 material featuring anti-glare, UV400 protection, and optional blue light filtering. They're lightweight, distortion-free, and made to last.

4. Are your lenses scratch-resistant?

Yes. All lenses are coated with a hard coat to resist everyday scratches from cleaning, carrying, and use.

5. Do you offer blue-light blocking lenses?

Yes. Many of our models come with blue-light protection, ideal for screen use. You can filter for this while browsing.

6. What are your frames made of?

We use premium TR90, stainless steel, or acetate, depending on the model. These are durable, flexible, and skin-safe materials used by top optical brands globally.

7. How comfortable are the frames for long wear?

Very. We design for daily comfort—lightweight frames, spring hinges (on most models), and ergonomic bridges that don't pinch or slide.

8. Do your glasses come in multiple sizes?

Not specifically. Each model lists its size—frame width, lens height, and temple length—so you can find the best fit. Need help interpreting sizing? Just ask us on WhatsApp

9. Can I try them on virtually?

We're working on it. Meanwhile, our 10-day return policy ensures you can return or exchange any pair you're not fully happy with.

10. How do I return or exchange a product?

Just email us at sales@read40.com within 10 days of delivery, and we'll arrange a free pick-up. No questions asked.

11. How long does delivery take?

We ship via express partners across India. Expect delivery in under 3-5 working days, depending on your location.

12. Is your packaging secure and discreet?

Yes. Each pair is placed in a microfiber pouch, boxed in recyclable, 3-ply eco-packaging, and then slotted inside a shipping box. Clean, protective, and minimal.

13. Are the glasses suitable as gifts?

Absolutely. Just select the gift option at checkout for special wrapping and a message card.

14. Do you offer any bundles or discounts?

Yes. We have bundle offers for 2 pieces (Add a spare pair offer) and periodic sales on selected collections. Check the website or sign up for updates.

15. Are your products FDA or CE certified?

Our manufacturing partners comply with international optical standards (ISO/CE), and our lenses meet FDA-grade resin specs.

16. Do you have a physical store or showroom?

No. We are online-only to keep our quality high and prices fair. But everything is built to global standards. Please see more details in the Certifications section.

17. Why should I trust your quality without trying it first?

Because we stand behind it. Our professionals have been in the optical business 20+ years. We use top-tier materials, thoughtful design, and honest pricing. And if you're not satisfied, you may return them within 10 days, no questions asked.

18. Are your glasses unisex?

Most of our designs are gender-neutral and suit a wide variety of face shapes. Each product page gives visual cues for fit and style.

19. Do you offer corporate or bulk gifting options?

Yes. Reading glasses are thoughtful gifts. We offer custom packaging and bulk pricing for orders above 100 units (all powers). Please email or Whatsapp us. We will be glad to help.

20. Can I speak to someone before ordering?

Of course. Just drop us an email at sales@read40.com, and one of our colleagues will get back to you promptly.
