At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, I picked up a pair of ThinOptics Glasses and Case (starting at $19.95) from ThinOptics. The company has a novel design for reading glasses (and computer glasses) that rest on your nose without temples, so the glasses are quite small. They are also flexible and durable.
This allows them to be slipped into a compact case. ThinOptics makes a case that attaches to your iPhone (or iPhone case) as well as an iPhone case with the pocket for the glasses built in. This might impact the ability to charge an iPhone wirelessly. Despite all of this tech, they are quite affordable. They come in a variety of magnification strengths for the readers, but are not for prescription lenses.
Pros
- Remarkably small reading glasses
- Flexible and durable
- Case to mount to your phone or get an iPhone case with reader pocket
- Affordable
- Computer glasses or various reader strengths
- Assorted colors
Cons
- Glasses rest on nose, no temples

Final Verdict
