A handy lens for reading the small print

Reading glasses can get scratched, broken, or left behind during a trip, and replacing them on the road can be an expensive hassle. But Pocket Peepers are so friendly to your wallet — in fact, that’s where you stash them. They’re about the size of a credit card, with a large viewing area that’s an actual reading lens, not just a magnifier. They come in a one-size-fits-all strength that corrects the user’s vision from +1.25 to +2.50 depending on how far you hold them from your eyes, and they are available in 25 designs, from businesslike black to blinged-out versions studded with Swarovski crystals. They cost $9.95-$12.95, so you can afford to tuck an extra one inside your bag, just in case. Buy them online at pocketpeepers.com or by calling 866-973-3737.
