Sunglasses
Magnetic glasses are a groundbreaking innovation in eyewear, combining fashion, functionality and innovation. These glasses use discreetly embedded magnets in the frame to attach interchangeable accessories—such as polarized sunglass lenses, blue-light filters, or reading lens attachments—with ease and precision. By harnessing the power of magnetism, this technology allows users to seamlessly switch between functions without changing frames, offering a sleek, secure, and practical solution for modern vision needs.
What are magnetic glasses?
There are two types of magnetic glasses you need to know about.
Magnetic Reading Glasses: Commonly used for reading glasses, the frame is split down the middle. The two halves of the frame are tied with a silicone string, allowing you to hang the glasses around your neck when not in use. When needed, just snap the two halves together to form a complete frame with flexible, retractable temples that have a rubbery feel. This type of frame is very convenient when you don't wear glasses often. You can always have them when you need them, and it's not easy to forget where you put them.
Magnetic Glasses: Also called Magnetic Clip-On Glasses. Magnetic glasses come with magnetic clips that make it easy to switch between indoors and outdoors. You can easily pick up multiple lenses and switch between tinted, polarized, or driving options. They allow you to snap the outer frame onto the inner frame, or add a pair of tinted lenses to turn your regular glasses into sunglasses, or just change the look of your frames.
Basic Components of Magnetic Clip-On Glasses include:
A pair of non-prescription eyeglass frames
Interchangeable magnetic clip-on lenses customized to your unique vision correction needs, such as:
- Sunglass lenses for bright daylight conditions.
- Driving lenses are often optimized for nighttime or low-light driving.
- Blue light protection, reading glasses, and more.
How do magnetic glasses work?
Magnetic Reading Glasses
Magnetic reading glasses use small, high-strength magnets—typically embedded in the bridge—to provide a secure and convenient closure mechanism. One popular design features a front-connection bridge that snaps together magnetically, allowing the glasses to rest around your neck when not in use and easily reconnect in front of your face when needed. This design also allows for smooth folding and enhanced portability. This smart magnetic structure offers hands-free access, prevents misplacement, and ensures a seamless on-off experience—perfect for frequent readers or those who multitask.
Magnetic Clip-on Glasses
At Elklook, we’ve taken magnetic clip-on glasses to the next level, creating a unique concept that lets you change your look in an instant.
Your magnetic clip-on glasses consist of a base (which can also be worn separately) and a top frame. The top frame magnetically attaches to the base using ultra-light micro magnets, allowing your glasses to fit lightly to your face. The base frame is the “working part” here, custom-made to your exact needs and offering a variety of additional features. The top frame, on the other hand, offers a wide range of design options to suit your personality, interests, and daily look—and can be easily swapped out in just a few moments.

Beyond "Extra Lenses": The Versatility of Magnetic Clip-On Sets
Versatile magnetic glasses do much more than just offer interchangeable lenses, they are designed to provide a comprehensive vision solution.
Three-Piece Set in One Pair of Glasses:
At its core, it seamlessly integrates three basic eyewear types into one adaptable system:
- Standard prescription glasses for everyday vision correction.
- Sunglass clip-ons for use in bright sunlight, providing important protection and visual comfort for the eyes outdoors.
- Driving clip-ons, optimized for glare reduction during the day and enhanced visibility at night.
This “3-in-1” functionality makes versatile magnetic glasses extremely useful for a variety of daily needs.
Sunglass Lenses: Essential Eye Protection
The included sunglass clip-ons are more than just tinted lenses, they are essential for eye health. They provide essential UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of long-term eye damage. Many clip-on sunglasses also come with magnetic polarization options to minimize glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and roads, further improving visual comfort and giving you clearer, sharper vision in bright environments.
Driving Lenses: Optimized for Day and Night
Magnetic clip-on glasses for driving address the unique visual challenges of driving in different lighting conditions:
Daytime driving lenses: These lenses are designed to reduce the intensity of strong sunlight, improving visual comfort and clarity when driving during the day, especially in bright or sunny conditions.
Night driving lenses (yellow tint): Night driving clip-ons often have a yellow or amber tint. These special lenses enhance contrast in low-light conditions and, more importantly, reduce glare from oncoming headlights and streetlights. This glare reduction is critical to improving nighttime driving safety and reducing eye fatigue. Anti-glare driving clip-on magnetic glasses are often anti-reflective coated to further reduce glare.
Easily adapt to various scenarios
The magnetic clip-on design gives users unparalleled adaptability. Switching between lens types is quick and intuitive. Whether going from indoors to bright sunlight or preparing for a nighttime drive, users can easily adapt to changing conditions without having to replace an entire pair of glasses. No matter the situation, this convenient magnetic clip-on glasses system provides seamless vision correction and protection.

FAQ:
Q1: How strong are the magnets?
Strong enough to stay on even if you move around, but not too hard to take off. Our flexible frames work perfectly with these magnets.
Q2: Can I use prescription lenses in magnetic clip-on glasses?
Yes, they can be used with your prescription lenses. Simply select your prescription requirements during the ordering process.
Q3: Can they be used with any frame?
Not necessarily. There are universal ones, but for the best fit, it is best to buy clip-on glasses that are customized to your frame.
Q4: Do magnets weaken over time?
Good magnets can last for many years, and cheaper magnets may weaken. We use 4,800 Gauss neodymium magnet technology, which is the strongest permanent magnet on the market, so you can use it with confidence.
Q5: Will magnetic glasses interfere with electronic devices?
Magnetic glasses will not interfere with precision equipment under normal use. This is because the magnets they use are generally very small and have limited magnetic field strength. Magnetic Glasses only have a noticeable magnetic force within a few centimeters.
