Spits Classic Wafarer Progressive Multi-Focus Reader
Spits Classic Wayfarer Progressive Multi-Focus Reader Sunglasses
The Spits Classic Wayfarer Progressive Reader combines a timeless wayfarer frame with progressive multi-focus lenses — giving you seamless vision at distance, intermediate, and close range without the visible line of traditional bifocals. Gradient tinted lenses provide sun protection while the progressive optics handle everything from reading a menu to checking your phone to looking across the room. A stylish, practical alternative to carrying both sunglasses and reading glasses.
Who Is This For?
Anyone over 40 who needs reading magnification and sun protection in one pair — travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday wearers who are tired of switching between sunglasses and readers or squinting at their phone in bright light.

Which Magnification Should I Choose?

Progressive vs. Bifocal
Progressive — no visible line. Vision transitions smoothly from distance at the top to reading at the bottom. More natural looking and more versatile for everyday wear.
Bifocal — visible line separating the distance and reading zones. More abrupt transition but some people find it easier to adjust to. For bifocal options see the Spits bifocal sunglass range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these prescription quality? No — these are over-the-counter progressive readers in standard magnification strengths. They are not a substitute for prescription progressive lenses but are a convenient and affordable solution for general reading and sun use.
Do progressive readers take time to adjust to? Yes — most people need a few days to adjust to progressive lenses as your eyes learn to use different zones of the lens. This is normal.
Are these good for driving? Yes — the gradient tint provides sun protection while the upper distance zone keeps your road vision clear.
Cleaning Spits Eyewear safety glasses is essential to keep them in good condition and maintain their effectiveness. First, rinse the glasses with cold or warm water to remove dust or dirt. Next, apply a small amount of dish soap on both sides of the lenses and rub them gently with your fingers. Rinse the glasses with water again and pat dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid using hot water, abrasive cleaners, or tissues to clean safety glasses; they can damage the lenses and reduce their effectiveness. Repeat this process regularly to ensure clear vision and long-lasting safety.
