Why a Monocle Works

A monocle sits naturally between the eyebrow and cheekbone.

Questions Gift Buyers Often Ask

How does a monocle stay in place?

A monocle sits naturally between the eyebrow and cheekbone, supported by the natural structure around the eye.

It’s designed to stay in place without pressure, so it can be worn comfortably for everyday tasks like reading or checking a phone.

What is the “gallery”?

The gallery is a raised inner rim on the monocle. It keeps the lens clear of your eyelashes and helps the monocle sit securely and comfortably in position.

What strength should I choose for a ready-made reading monocle?

If you’re buying a ready-made reading monocle, the easiest way to choose is to check what strength reading glasses they already use.

Most reading glasses have the strength printed on the inside of the side arm, for example +1.50, +2.00, or +2.50.

If you’re unsure, +2.00 is the most commonly used strength and a safe starting point for general reading.


If the strength isn’t quite right, we’re always happy to help you choose or adjust.

Is it comfortable to wear?

Yes. A monocle is designed so the lens sits clear of the eyelashes, allowing natural blinking and comfortable use for everyday tasks.

What is the cord or chain for?

The cord or chain keeps the monocle secure when it’s not in use, so it’s always close at hand and less likely to be misplaced.

It also makes the monocle easy to carry and return to use throughout the day.
