Portable readers
I got my first pair of reading glasses a couple of years ago, and I never remember to bring them when I'm out. I use them occasionally during the day, but for the most part I don't need them except for reading. I do have magnifying readers for my mini work and needlework, but those are cheapy plastic ones.
I wanted something I could carry in my small Vera Bradley wristlet bag - I'm not a big purse type of gal. I do have a larger bag I cart my needlework and papers in, but when it's a social call, I use a tiny bag. I found these on amazon, and I love them.
There's a tiny carrying case, and the readers fold into the case. In addition to the usual hinges on the outer sides of the frame, there is a pivot point at the bridge. The temples telescope.
These are +2.00 magnification, which is a lot more than my reading glasses prescription, but this means I can use them to read the random menu and do needlework without carrying multiple pairs. They fit neatly into my small purse, too.
