User reviews note that progressive-reader versions have a small reading zone and frame edges are engraved with 'PORT' and 'STARBOARD' (which some find unattractive), and the advertised pouch may not be included.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/sunglasses-reading-glasses/brand-name-glasses/miklos-rectangular-reading-glasses--21542-22431?colourId=30","brand":"CADDIS","condition":"new","product_category":"women accessories > sunglasses reading glasses > brand name glasses","material":"Frame: Bio-acetate","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/21542/22431/30/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/21542/22431/30/A2_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1785387669390-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/21542/22431/30/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Miklos rectangular reading glasses product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot centered on a neutral light-gray background with even diffuse lighting and a soft shadow under the glasses;

of the 5-barrel industrial hinges","entries":{"any_optician_repairability":"Because it uses a simple threaded screw rather than a sealed spring mechanism, a loose or damaged 5-barrel hinge can be tightened or swapped by any optical shop in seconds, not requiring the specialty tools or full replacement that spring hinges often demand — a repairability advantage that keeps a $160 frame in use, not in a drawer.","precision_90_95_fixed_stance":"The hinge locks the temple at a fixed 90–95° angle, so the frame does not over-extend or gradually develop uneven wear — a stable, predictable stop that keeps the magnified reading zone consistently aligned with your eyes, even after thousands of openings.","acetate_optimized_proportions":"Five-barrel hinges are the natural partner for thick acetate frames like the Miklos: they provide a wider load-bearing surface than 3-barrel designs without demanding the oversize temple routing that 7-barrel hinges require, preserving more acetate around the mount and keeping the temple junction clean and robust.","industry_warranty_reduction_data":"Eyewear manufacturers who moved to 5-barrel hinges documented up to 35% fewer hinge-related warranty claims across their collections, a real-world feedback loop that underscores the hinge’s ability to stay tight without frequent adjustment.","double_lifespan_vs_standard_hinges":"Independent hinge performance data shows 5-barrel designs lasting approximately twice as long as traditional metal hinges, with an expected service life exceeding eight years — for the Miklos, that means the frame is likely to hold its adjustment well beyond the life of the reading lenses.","3_2_asymmetrical_stress_distribution":"The Miklos uses a 3+2 (five-barrel) arrangement — three barrels on the frame side, two on the temple — that spreads the repetitive opening stress more evenly than the three-barrel hinges found on cheap readers, reducing the chance of a misaligned arm or a stripped screw over years of daily use."},"entry_quotes":{"any_optician_repairability":[{"url":"http://www.halaeyewear.com/features/32-hinge","quote":"Max repairability – any optician can tighten or swap

fading — so the Miklos is engineered to survive daily drops and windowsill sun, making it a more durable reader option than many disposable plastic alternatives.","60_70_renewable_cellulose":"The frame's bio-acetate is composed of 60–70% cellulose from renewable wood pulp and cotton fibers, a significant jump above standard plastics — for a product that gets replaced every few years as prescription changes, this higher renewable content reduces the material's fossil-fuel reliance across its lifecycle.","thermoplastic_adjustability":"Bio-acetate is thermoplastic, meaning an optician can heat and finely shape the arms and bridge to match your head — a level of fit customization that stiff, injection-molded plastic frames cannot provide, directly improving how securely the glasses stay in place during reading or desk work.","color_depth_and_high_gloss_finish":"Bio-acetate takes dye with the same saturation and depth as traditional luxury acetate, producing the rich, high-gloss Taupe or Green finish that reads as a premium fashion accessory rather than a medical aid — a key reason the Miklos costs $160 CAD instead of $30.","plant_based_plasticizers_phthalate_free":"Because bio-acetate swaps petroleum-based plasticizers for alternatives derived from citric acid or vegetable oils, it is free of phthalates and hypoallergenic — a functional advantage for anyone who has experienced skin reactions or pressure-point itchiness from cheap plastic frames during long reading
