Discover Atlantic Eyewear at Lanzarote’s Markets

If you are someone who relies on reading glasses, you will know the struggle of finding a pair that actually looks good. Often, the only options available feel more suited to a doctor’s waiting room than a beachfront bar in Lanzarote. Fortunately, there is a local business changing that.

Atlantic Eyewear has become a familiar sight at the islands markets, offering a refreshing alternative for anyone needing a little help with the small print. Whether you are a resident or just visiting, their collection of reading glasses, sun reading glasses, and travel readers is well worth a look.

The range is designed with a simple philosophy: you shouldn’t have to compromise on style just because you need a stronger dioptre. They stock a wide variety of frame designs and colours, catering to all tastes with sizes ranging from small to large. Crucially, the lenses are available in graduations from +1 all the way up to +3.5, meaning most people will find their exact prescription.

Sun Readers for the Canary Sun

Living in the Canary Islands means dealing with bright sunshine for most of the year. If you normally wear reading glasses, you will know the annoyance of having to switch back to prescription sunglasses when you step outside. Atlantic Eyewear solves this with their dedicated range of sun reading glasses.

These are not just tinted lenses; they are proper sunglasses designed with the same attention to style and durability as their standard optical range. With options including small, round, medium, and large frames, you can protect your eyes from the glare while still being able to read a book by the pool or check the menu at a seaside cafe.

The Perfect Travel Companion

One of the standout offerings from the brand is their collection of travel readers. These are brilliantly clever designs built for life on the go.

The range includes fully foldable metal frames that collapse down to a tiny size, slipping easily into a pocket or bag. They feature a rubber touch feel for comfort, alongside flexible hinges and flexi arms to ensure they fit well and last. They come in a range of two-tone mixed colour designs that look far more expensive than they are.

For those who prefer something even smaller, they also offer compact travel readers with the same durable, flexible build quality.

Where to Find Them

The full Atlantic Eyewear collection is available to browse and try on in person at two locations. You can catch them at the Teguise market every Sunday, where you will find them in front of the Little Britain Food van and public toilets. Alternatively, head to the Playa Blanca market at Marina Rubicon every Wednesday and Saturday, where they are situated in front of the Jungle Vibes bar.

Prices and Delivery

Starting at just €6.99 a pair, they offer excellent value for money. If you are a resident and need to stock up, they also offer free deliveries to your home in Lanzarote for orders of €100 or more. Online deliveries are available across the Canaries with Correos, with shipping rates applied for orders outside the archipelago.

As the team at Atlantic Eyewear wryly note, they cannot guarantee that wearing a pair will make you feel exactly like Tom Cruise or Audrey Hepburn. But they can guarantee that you are getting really good glasses that look great.
