StickTite Lenses Small 28mm 1 Pair – 2.0 Diopters
Formula: Stick-on reading lenses for sunglasses or regular eyewear, 2.0 diopters. Best for casual magnification without prescription lenses. The lenses are thin, flexible, and secure, designed to stay in place on frames you already wear. Suitable for outdoor activities where carrying extra readers is inconvenient. Best for users who want quick, non-permanent magnification on uncomplicated frames. Caution: may not fit larger or uniquely shaped frames; test fit first.
StickTite Lenses Small 28mm 1 Pair – 1.5 Diopters
Best for lightweight magnification on a variety of frames, including safety or swim goggles when needed. The lenses attach without glue, tape, or residue, and can be removed and reused. Caution: not all frame shapes will accommodate 1.5 diopters; ensure a secure fit before relying on them for precise tasks.
StickTite Lenses Small 28mm 1 Pair – 2.5 Diopters
Best for users needing a stronger magnification without changing frames. The 2.5 diopter design fits many square or oval frames and supports quick, on-the-fly reading tasks outdoors or indoors.

Best for people who need a higher magnification on larger frames, offering two pairs for ongoing use. This option provides a balance between visibility and convenience for tasks like reading fine print outdoors. Limitation: higher magnification may require more precise application and alignment to avoid edge glare.
Buying Guide
What should you consider when choosing stick-on lenses?
Diopter strength: Choose low magnification (1.5–2.0) for casual reading and higher magnification (2.5–3.0) for detailed tasks. Frame size: 32mm lenses fit larger frames; 28mm work with smaller frames. Application: Look for static-cling or adhesive-free designs for residue-free removal. Fit: Ensure the patch sits comfortably below the bridge and does not obstruct your nose or lens line.
Are tinted options worth it for outdoor use?
Tint can reduce glare and improve contrast in bright environments. If you frequently perform outdoor activities, brown or gray-toned tints can be added to existing frames without purchasing a new pair. However, tinted stick-on options should be used with caution in low-light conditions, where reduced brightness may affect vision.
Which is better for travel and convenience?
Single-pair lens sets are compact and easy to carry in a pocket or bag. For frequent travelers, a 2-pack offers redundancy and ensures you have a spare in case of loss or damage. Consider the ease of application and reuse when evaluating portability.
Fit and compatibility considerations
These products are designed to adhere to the inside or underside of eyeglass lenses. They may not suit rimless or curved lens designs. Always test fit on a small area first and avoid applying on damaged or fragile lenses. For safety eyewear, verify that the add-ons do not impede vision during activities.
