Fashion Leads The Way in Foster Grant's New Range

Oct. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Foster Grant’s latest collection of ready-to-wear reading glasses for men and women launched this month and is proof that fashion doesn’t always have to give way to function.

No longer just a necessity, reading glasses have become a desirable must-have fashion accessory. This is echoed by the many varied styles in the exclusive Foster Grant® collection inspired by the very latest fashion and optical trends.

Safe, effective and great value, there’s a style for everyone, whatever the occasion and wherever the destination. There’s a great choice of the most popular frames including lightweight rimless, funky fashion plastics, traditional aviators and open-temple metals with a huge array of colours and finishes. Quality features such as spring temples and adjustable nose pads are fitted as standard.

Foster Grant® doesn’t compromise on vision clarity either as all styles come with lightweight, optical quality anti-scratch magnification lenses in a selection of popular lens strengths from +1.00 for younger wearers to +3.50 for those who need more magnification.

Ideal for reading, working on the computer or tackling close up tasks, Foster Grant® ready-to-wear reading glasses are a highly affordable alternative to comparable prescription lenses with prices starting from only £7.50.

Foster Grant’s fashion collection is complemented by best selling ranges of SunReaders™, a combination of sunglasses and reading glasses, for holidays and the outdoors, plus compact folding reading glasses for people on the go. One of Foster Grant’s most successful products this year is LightSpecs™ lighted reading glasses, an innovative two-in-one solution for those situations when magnification and light is required at the same time.

Foster Grant® has an established and proven reputation as a market-leading designer and manufacturer of ready-to-wear reading glasses. This reputation enables retailers and consumers to have total confidence in the safety, quality and effectiveness of Foster Grant® products at all times.

The new collection is available from major UK retailers including Debenhams, Matalan, Superdrug, Lloyds Pharmacies, WH Smith, Co Op Pharmacy, Waitrose and Morrison’s as well the Foster Grant online store, http://www.fostergrant.co.uk.
