The debut of the Mensa Reading Glasses Collection at ReadingGlasses.com has been eagerly awaited. Developed in partnership with the American Mensa Association, this exclusive licensed reading glasses line blends sophisticated frame silhouettes, fine frame materials, understated metal hardware accents, and a distinctive color palette—all thoughtfully designed to echo the intellectual spirit of the renowned high-IQ society.
Named after legendary intellectuals from the past, each frame offers a distinguished look and confident individuality, with design features that stand out. The temples of the frames are subtly engraved with tributes to the historic figures they’re named after - Newton, with the Three Laws of Motion, Euler, with his famous equation, and so on.
The signature Mensa logo appears on the temple arm tips, further endorsing each design with subtlety and sophistication, a quiet nod to brilliance that complements the wearer’s own intellect and style.
With a total of 8 fine eyewear designs for men and women, the collection is broad enough to offer styles to suit all faces, while focusing on quality and timeless details that make each piece unique.
