Why You Can Trust CNET Style Icons Swoon for Caddis Eyewear, and It's Majorly Discounted Right Now
Save up to 78% off exceptionally stylish readers, blue blockers and progressive sunglasses during the preholiday sale.
My new favorite eyewear brand has slashed its prices on dozens of stylish and sturdy frames.
Even if you don't remember all the details from Gwyneth Paltrow's can't-look-away ski crash court case earlier this year, surely you remember the retro wire-frame aviators she donned. Those were Caddis specs, and right now many of the brand's high-end reading glasses and sun progressives (reading sunglasses) are marked down by as much as 78% -- with some as cheap as $45.
These Porgy Backstage progressive readers are down to $45 -- normally $205.
I own a pair of Caddis D28s that frame my round face like a Buddy Holly dream. This pair typically sells for $130, but you can nab D28 readers for $85 during the sale. The frames are about as solidly constructed as glasses get, which could explain why the brand boldly refers to them as "eye appliances."
The D28s feature a fun surprise message on top to help you remember left and right.
Most frames on sale are available as readers with magnification from 0.0 to 3.5 with or without blue light blockage or as sun progressives. Sun progressives darken like normal sunglasses and have no magnification at the top but transition to your chosen magnification as you glance down. You can, of course, buy any pair of these fashionable frames at a deeply discounted price and have your prescription lenses loaded in.

It doesn't get more classic than this frame shape, available as sun progressives in black and tortoise shell.

These statement specs are available in black and white.
