One lucky FOF will win a pair of Renee’s Readers–high-quality and high-style reading glasses. Enter to win by answering in the comments below: which pair of Renee’s Readers would you most like to win?
Renee Bachner had always dreamed of starting her own line of eyeglasses, but a tragedy pushed put her plan into action. “Losing my dad, and my mother deteriorating [from Alzheimers] rapidly made me start to think about my own life. I felt it was now or never. I didn’t want to regret [not doing this].”
As an optician for over 25 years, Renee knew what her customers wanted. “A lot of my customers were complaining that their reading glasses didn’t hold up,” Renee says. “They wanted a quality product.”
Renee responded to the needs of her customers by creating Renee’s Readers–a high-quality line of reading glasses that are optically correct (as close to a prescription lense as you can get in a non-prescription reading glass). “There’s a huge difference in clarity of vision with these lenses than with any other reading glasses,” says Renee.
Fittingly, since Renee’s Readers were inspired by her customers, Renee named all 23 styles after them. Renee also used her experience working in-store with customers to create the most flattering readers possible, picking frames in “tried and true shapes” and colors that “flatter people’s complexions.”
Renee’s Readers, launched just a few months ago, are sold on Renee’s website, starting at $65 dollars (they ship nationwide) and from her store in New City, NY. If you’re not sure which pair of Renee’s Readers would suit you the best, Renee has put together a list of frame selection tips to help you find your perfect pair. A portion of each Renee’s Readers sale goes toward funding the research for a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.
“Glasses immediately can change a persons look,” says Renee. “It’s like lipstick, [they] immediately brighten up the face.”

Diane Mary says:
purple is my fav
Sue says:
Of all the reading glasses I’ve seen at eye doctor’s
office and at places that sell over counter reading glasess, never have I seen any as unique as Renee’s
reading glasses. Whenever I pull my reading glasses
out at stores to look or read something more closely,
store representatives look at me to make sure they
are mine and not belonging to the stores. But with a purple pair of Renee’s reading glasses they’d know that these belong to me and not the stores. I’ve never
seen a purple pair nor any like Renee’s at any place that sell reading glasses. If I were to lay a pair of purple reading glases down in same ara as other poeple with reading glasses, they’d automatically know that the purple ones are mine and not be able
to confuse mine with theirs.

jAN says:
Samantha!!
Michelle says:
I love the Libby. Just my style. The Loni are also great looking. So much Style & class.
JED says:
I have a passion for purple, so I have to choose the “Jorie”. The color is wonderful, and the shape is very much like my bifocal frames.

Beth Surdut, Visual Storyteller says:
Definitelyy Susan.

KAREN COGBURN says:
Love the Karen.
Pam Hogan says:
I like the “Karen” style the best, though it was really hard to pick because they are all so lovely. I recently bought a pair that had a great hard case so as to keep them safe when not in use, but the frames were so rickety both lenses fell out eventually despite much tightening and pampering. Now i just need to find glasses worthy of the case! Seriously though, these are very pretty glasses and appear to be solid and functional so i would be honored to win a pair. Otherwise, since i’m on a fixed income, the thrift store hunt will continue!
Tammy Schlitter says:
I would love a pair of good quality readers! Lisa or Susan would be my picks.

Definitely in love with Lisa! Color and style are awesome! So much prettier and more stylish than my drug store readers!

Janeace says:
Just lost my readers on vacation! But to me, the best part of Renee’s glasses is that a portion of the proceeds goes to Alzheimers. My mom was just diagnosed and I would love to see a cure.
My favorite readers are Lisa and Peter.
Good luck with you new venture, Renee! Hope you do super well!
Ellen says:
I would like Lisa. Not only would they look wonderful on me — shape and color — but they are beautiful and would draw attention. Very distinctive!!!

Jean says:
I think the Samatha’s are the ones for me! They would look awesome with my coloring! I used to have reading glasses but I had lasik and found I no longer needed them. Mean old Father Time has worked his magic and I find I am in need of readers again! I spent 9 days in June in the hospital and I need to be in bed the rest of the summer, so if I win them, they will be very well used! (I just can’t see those little keys on my iPhone!) Thanks for the opportunity!
Sheila Chaffins says:

Maritza Perez says:
I would like to win the Samantha Readers because I like the shape and color.
BlueBear says:
I love the Libby readers! The pearl temple and the built-in nose pieces are very attractive and the large reading area is perfect for me. I wear my readers at least eight hours a day and I prefer a more substantial pair of glasses rather than thin ones. Pick me and Libby!
v says:
I’d love to try a pair of the Jories in black/white (at the 3 strength). My reading glasses are held together with tape at the moment, but summer is “high season” for animal rescue so I can’t afford to replace them. Really nice frames and colors!
ellenherbert says:
Love the ‘Susan’ Style! thanks!
Lisa S. says:
The animal print for me! But they are all cute. I have 4 pair of reading glasses that aren’t in great shape, but it’s so I’m never without (although sometimes I think I need more!!!) What a great giveaway. Love your blog. thank you for the opportunity.
joy says:
It is rather frightening, I can remember a time not so long ago when I didn’t need vision correction… Oh, to be young again. Well, since I am not a spring chicken anymore, why not embrace it and look ADORABLY Chic in these readers?
🙂
cmpease says:
I would like the Jorie readers because of the shape and color. I believe they would complement my coloring and features.
