Reviews

Framed again. . . But in a good way

"I have over 10 pairs of Caddis glasses. That should tell you something. I have bought readers, sunglasses, and perscription glasses. I have been happy with every purchase. Great products, yas, but also. . . What a helpful, knowledgeable team of people are available to help you with any question or concern. I never hesitate to recommend Caddis glasses."

— Suzanne D. (5/5)

A Hug For Your Face

"I wanted to try this style because I have a smaller face, and some of the CADDIS styles are too big. The Wabi Sabi is a good fit. They are stylish and functional. I love that they don't fall off my face when I bend down. Will get another pair in pink to replace the ones my dog chewed on."

Long time lurker first time buyer

"I’ve trolled the website for a few years terrified to take the plunge. Finally I decided to jump. Best decision ever. I absolutely love these glasses. They feel sturdy and sure of themselves. Probably going to be buy another pair in the next few weeks just so I have some options."

— Michael H. (5/5)

Q&A

How does the frame size compare to the Bixby. I have 3 pairs of the bixby frame and would like to try the turtle color. Suggestions ? Also I would like to order in the progressive readers. Can you check my last order in terms of magnification. Thank you Craig Holmes,
Hello,The Bixby is similar size to the Wabi Sabi. The Wabi Sabi is slightly smaller from temple to temple.Email us at orders@caddislife.com with your email or order number and we can look that up. Let us know if we can help with anything else.
I saw one review that said these were a bit tight. My first pair was MIKLOS, and the fit great, but my second pair of D28 are so tight, and U haven't been able to correct that. I love these WABI SABI frames, but do the lean on the side of being tight? Such a shame.
I'm sorry they aren't working out for you. The Miklos medium are slightly wider than the D28 medium by 2mm. The Wabi Sabi are the same width as Miklos medium as well. An adjustment can be made to loosen the arms a bit, so please check your email for those directions.
Can I use these for RX lenses?
Yes! Our frames are optical grade. We also make prescription glasses. You can find them here: https://caddislife.com/collections/rx
