Frequently asked questions
What makes GLAS different from ordinary reading glasses?
GLAS combines refined Scandinavian design with premium materials, creating reading glasses that feel elegant, not ordinary. Our frames are crafted from premium acetate or nickel-free metal, paired with CR39 lenses and multi-layer coatings for clear, comfortable everyday wear. Designed in Stockholm and made to be worn every day.
What's your shipping and returns policy?
Simple and effortless. We offer free shipping over 795 kr, and most frames arrive within a few business days with tracking included. If your pair doesn't feel quite right, returns and exchanges are easy, and our customer service team is here to help quickly. Buying glasses online should feel easy — and with GLAS, it does.
How long will they last — and what if something goes wrong?
Our frames are made to last, and we back them with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing and material defects. Premium acetate, nickel-free metal, and flexible steel hinges all contribute to a pair that feels durable, polished, and reliable over time.
How do I find my strength?
If you already wear reading glasses, choose the same strength. It's usually printed on the inside of the arm. If you're new to readers, print our strength chart, hold it about 40 cm away and read from the top: the first line you read clearly shows your strength. If you're still unsure, we exchange it free within 60 days, as many times as it takes, and we cover the shipping both ways. Our customer service team is also happy to help you choose.
What's special about the lenses?
Every pair is fitted with CR39 lenses finished with multi-layer coatings for anti-reflection, scratch resistance, and lasting everyday clarity. They're designed to feel comfortable, polished, and easy to wear throughout the day. Our blue light styles offer added protection for screen time as well.
What is the difference between the classic lenses and the blue light filtering lenses?
Our classic lenses are designed for clear, comfortable everyday reading, with UV protection plus scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings. Our blue light filtering lenses have the same scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings, plus a filter that reduces the most short-wave blue light from screens and digital devices. The look of the lenses stays the same — they are not visibly blue, and they will look just like the classic lenses.
