Yes that's what my friend has. So quick and easy for him to use then take off. And they won't fall off your neck unless you break that bond accidentally.When I used reading glasses (pre-cataract removal) I always used Clic frames -- inexpensive reading glasses available in pharmacies and online in the usual range of 1 - 4 diopter. They hang around your neck and open and close via a magnetic bond on the bridge of your nose. They are safe and good and they last a very long time if you take care of them.

The problem is that I need my reading glasses promptly available all the time: to read maps, to look at the clock, etc. So I usually wear them hanging around my neck.
Light and airy but six pockets each big enough for a copy of a Brierley's guide. Most of the reviews are by guys.I prefer short running shorts most of the time. They are light and airy, but don't have pockets.
There you go.I met NO ONE walking the GR130 except a few locals that made me feel this is the right choice.
I wear Tifosi Veloces with photochromatic tinting and a bifocal lens. I CANNOT live without these glasses. They live on top of my head when (rarely) they are not in use). I tend to wear them even when I don't need them, as the tint goes away when not needed, and the bifocal lens sits low. They are also great for keeping out the wind and dust.
Just choose your "local" amazon webshop and look for similar items.
Unfortunately also the local amazon (Amazon.es) does not deliver here. The only one that deliver here (most of the time) is amazon.com, but charges a very high cost for shipping and custom duties.Just choose your "local" amazon webshop and look for similar items.

You may find those lanyards in the local opticians or sporting store. Decathlon does have those, too.Unfortunately also the local amazon (Amazon.es) does not deliver here. The only one that deliver here (most of the time) is amazon.com, but charges a very high cost for shipping and custom duties.
(I live in a small island of the Canary archipelago)
Probably at least 25/percent of us, I would estimate use either bifocals or progressives ( or contacts). I never take them-off, unless sleeping.. I also added transition lenses option, as I am sure many of you have, that adjust in sun and shade.I have good long distance vision but not great mid distance and OK reading distance.
So I use multi focals, that also adjust to the light.
Clear indoors, and dark like sunglasses when i the sun.
I rarely take them off.........
I just hang them on my T-shirt collar.This thread will win the "Dumbest Question Ever Award 2024", but at the risk of definitively ruining my reputation here, I ask it anyway.

Problem: the lanyard they hang from comes off periodically. Then the glasses fall to the floor. I pick them up, reattach them to the lanyard but ... on a walk of many days I risk not noticing until after many miles. I have tried many lanyards but have not found one that holds for a long time and whose end elastics do not break or relax after some time.
I also thought about keeping them in the shirt pocket, but there's a problem: my shirts don't have pockets.

You are too nice, Patricia! I solved it but thank you so much for your kind offer!Maybe you can find something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005848885744.html or this: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/hdx-rubberized-glasses-lanyard-black/1001837686
I am in Calgary, Canada. If you find something that can be shipped or bought here, I would be happy to pick it up and mail it to you. Just send me a private message.
I also only need glasses for reading and using my phone and at my previous employment using my iPad while on site walking about and it was really frustrating having to take glasses of and on especially when I also had to wear safety glasses and hard hat, so my solution was to purchase bifocal safety glasses and there was no need to remove my glasses. I liked this solution so much that I still wear varifocals today even though I'm retired where it's a mild distance prescription for distance and I also have sun glasses the same.This thread will win the "Dumbest Question Ever Award 2024", but at the risk of definitively ruining my reputation here, I ask it anyway.

Pilotfish works very very well. I wd try this and chuck a few cheap spare pairs in your backpack.It strikes me that your best bet is to still explore lanyards. I just gave a quick look at them on Amazon and many get excellent reviews for durability. The one in particular that caught my attention was by Pilotfish.
In any case, because the weight is next to nothing, I’d throw a couple extra in my pack. If your readers are otc, like mine, I always travel with two pair.
A rucksack-strap mounted, small bottle holder would do nicely as an eyeglass holder. I have done this myself to alternate regular eyeglasses with sunglasses.This thread will win the "Dumbest Question Ever Award 2024", but at the risk of definitively ruining my reputation here, I ask it anyway.

Good for you. What impressed me about my buddy's use of them was the quickness he could put them on and take them off. The split-magnet thing makes all the difference for ease and quickness. The short and relatively stiff leash keeps them close and not swinging around.Problem solved...I found a ready-made substitute of the original Click!

I prefer them to the originals because:
1) I already have good prescription glasses (2 pairs) - these cost 40 €
2) I do not need to wait for the examination and preparation (I leave in 7 working days)
3) these are a little more graduated than mine, so that I can look at my phone, Garmin watch or maps more closely...
I will carry another pair in my pocket for possible evening readings. I also found some reinforced nice lanyard (5 €) for them in a small shop that looks very sturdy:

I agree with you, I wear multi-focals all the time except when bushwalking, then I wear single script glasses for exactly the reason you said.Like you, I will need more than one pair of glasses.
Be careful trying to walk on uneven ground while wearing bifocals. I have decided to not wear my favorite bifocal sunglasses on the Camino, because the reader area makes it much harder to see the ground right below me. So I risk taking a bad step. It’s not too risky on smooth level ground, but could be a safety issue on the bumpier paths.

Is the issue you are having perhaps a ‘bifocal issue’? Because my ‘multi focal’ or ‘progressive’ lenses are fine to walk with - even on quite rocky and technical paths. My lenses have 3 areas - for distance, middle and reading. And, there is no line on the lenses.Like you, I will need more than one pair of glasses.

I'm sure I've asked a few over the years.......There is no such thing as a stupid question!
Finally someone agrees with me...I was going to say there are no stupid questions, but…
Me too - Decathlon do a nice, cheat flip up that is also polarising.Bifocals. With clip on sunglasses .
9 DIY paracord:Finally someone agrees with me...
Anyway... I have a whole bunch of very good solutions. I think I will add one of those microdispensers of cyanacrylate glue (3-4 gm). It can always come in handy...
Solutions suggested so far:
- click! type glasses (solution chosen, especially ready-made with +0.5 dioptres to allow better near vision)
- Glue the strap to the glasses (backup solution)
- Bifocal lenses, but someone said they can be dangerous (and they cost a lot)
- Adhesive tape to keep the lanyard in place
- Reinforced lanyard
- Pocket on the backpack strap (got it, but I prefer to wear the glasses and use it for the phone)
- various backpacks with pockets designed for the Camino (from NZ)
- attached to a ring on the straps
- Did I forget anything else?
I love it; homemade Croakies.Cut suitable length of paracord. ...
It's not reading glasses, but on my most recent caminos I've been carrying my sunglasses in the "cargo" pocket of my convertible cargo hiking pants.

I have bifocal or progressive lenses with no line on the lenses. And I must admit that I've never managed to develop the right habits to use them properly. I've had them for a few years now and I still find it easier to push them down my nose or remove them entirely and bring the reading material into my natural focus spot when I want to read. Maybe some day I'll get the hang of them.Is the issue you are having perhaps a ‘bifocal issue’?

No, i think bifocal or multi focal would be the same issue for me. That is, the bottom of the glasses, where I should be able to see the ground near my feet, would only be in focus if it's a foot or two from my eyes.Is the issue you are having perhaps a ‘bifocal issue’?

Hi. Do you wear sunglasses? If you do have them fitted with bifocal lenses with reading strength bottom lenses. I wear glasses fulltime with bifocal Tansition (turning dark in light) lenses.

Get tinted bifocals that way you can read, see in the distance and use them as sunglassesThank you, but I do not want to keep them in a pocket. I need them all the time. To get my glasses out of a pocket, I have to stop (my hands are busy with trekking poles AND the phone or map), pick them up, remove the sunglasses, etc.
Also, I prefer short running shorts most of the time. They are light and airy, but don't have pockets.

I also thought about keeping them in the shirt pocket, but there's a problem: my shirts don't have pockets.
How do you folks do it?
Thanks for any suggestion.
