MONTREAL--The Canadian eyewear company Seeqa International has launched Charisma, a line of stylish ready-made reading glasses with a power range of +1.00 to 3.00D in half diopter steps. “Seeqa’s Charisma line of quality acetate reading glasses was launched specifically for young-hearted and fashion conscious consumers who are looking for something unique, stylish and trendy,” said Jeff Gruia, who is co-partner of Seeqa International and runs the business with his father Jerry.

Frames are made with Italian or Hong Kong acetate and have stainless steel screws and stainless steel spring hinges for comfort. Lenses are scratch resistant and are made of aspheric acrylic; many also have a safety beveled edge. One style, the ha034 has a rectangular eye shape in burgundy and a goldish-orange with a funky black and orange zebra-like temple pattern. The ha031 is a solid-color acetate frame with an ovular eye shape, offered in four bold colors.

“We here at Seeqa strongly believe in providing a superior product and Charisma’s ophthalmic quality frames and optics reflect our dedication to ensuring full satisfaction from our clientele, all while maintaining reasonable price points,” said Gruia. The line, which is comprised of seven styles, is priced to the dispenser from $25.00 to $30.00. All glasses come with a custom-fitted, color-coordinated case. In addition, U.S. orders over $300 are shipped at the supplier’s expense and come with a POP display.
