The Caddis Metamodernist Scout are a modern take on reading glasses. You'll love that they block blue light with a vintage inspired look.
The Caddis Metamodernist Scout is a lightweight metal frame with a light matte finish. It has tinted gradient lenses — it is not a sunglass reader. We’ve added sewn leather temple tips to make the tops of your lobes feel naughty, but if that’s not your jam, then the tops of your lobes can also feel distinguished. Two possible transformative feelings…one material. How do we do it, you ask? It’s not easy. Rather than simply deliver a totally clear reader lens for nobody else’s enjoyment but your own, we’ve dipped these lenses in a steamy bath that’s one part Chrysler Cordoba and one part Pam Grier. The tint begins clear at the bottom of the lens and increases in strength towards the top. The end result is an orchestrated visual representation of that exact moment when Burt met Sally and we all dreamed a little dream of Trans-Ams and escaping the law.
0.00: No magnification.
1.00: If you’re new to corrective eyewear, 40 or older, or believe that you don’t need glasses and you’re at least 45 years old, start with a 1.00. In the last several years we wish we had a buck for every time one of our friends said , “Cool company…but I don’t need reading glasses..” then we handed them a pair of 1.00 and without fail, “Holy shit!….this is awesome”. This is the gateway drug, game changer magnification level most start with.
1.50: As you begin to recognize the need, and eventual addiction, to seeing things clear again, you’ll want to upgrade and have a pair of +1.50 around. There are times of the day where the extra boost is welcomed.
2.00: More than likely, you’re already a buyer and user of corrective eyewear, so from here on out, you have some idea of what you need. More times than not, your first rodeo is not with a set of +2.00. You’ve probably flirted with the tower of shame at CVS, Walgreens, Krogers, etc.…the one that sits between the Dr. Scholls display and the Sonicare refill kits. You probably didn’t feel all that awesome…our goal is to change all that.
2.50: Varsity league user. We don’t need to tell you anything that you don’t already know. We also want to thank you for being a model citizen for those who will come after you. You’re a pioneer.
3.00: We got one word for our people in this group…… Magoo. You know who you are, and you know what we mean. Who loves you….we do. Caddis has a Magoo user on their team at headquarters, known as the Secret Squirrel, he sends you all a fist bump.
