Eyebobs in the UK

We're happy to announce the arrival of Eyebobs to the UK. Founded in 2001, eyebobs are reading glasses for the irreverent and slightly jaded. Creativity, wit and a dash of sarcasm reign at the Minneapolis headquarters. Eyebobs firmly believes that your style should be sharp, even if your vision isn’t.

Every 8 seconds, someone turns 40. Eyes over the age of 40 begin to lose their flexibility which makes focusing at close range more difficult (also called presbyopia). We hate to break it to you, but reading glasses are inevitable.

Now the good news! You are not doomed to wander the racks of supermarket readers in search of the least ugly pair. Consider this: reading glasses are an opportunity to express yourself!

You’re stylish, smart and a little bit sarcastic – your eyewear should be too. We’ve got styles and colours to suit every mood, from dignified classics to big, bold and bright. We’ve got sunglass readers to keep you looking stylish while reading outdoors. Be the envy of younger eyes everywhere with your funky glasses! Recently endorsed by Oprah Winfrey & featured in WWD, InStyle, GQ etc.

For a preview go to www.glasseswebb.com and come to see the collection at the Spring Fair International. 5-9 February 2012 at the NEC Birmingham UK. Hall 19, 20 Stand 19A05A.
