Cheaters

Cheaters-Reading-Glasses.

Do you play cards? do you wear cheaters reading glasses ? Origin: The word “Cheaters” originated in the 1920's as a slang term for eyeglasses. Today the term generally refers to reading glasses and can be found at Funkyreaders the home of cheaters and reading glasses.

The term "cheater" originates from the slang term applied to players wearing reading glasses, as it's believed that they can use their glasses to read another player's cards.

Cheaters the history.

Cheaters, or reading glasses, have been around for centuries and have often been used in card games. The earliest evidence of cheaters dates back to the 16th century Germany, where it was common to use 'peepers' when playing cards. In the 18th century, they were widely used by those living in France who would use a pair of lenses in a frame to cheat during games. The first known description of these glasses came from the French writer Voltaire, who wrote about them in his 1772 novel Candide.

Fast forward to modern day, and cheaters are still being used throughout the world. They come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from large and ornate frames to smaller and more discreet ones. They are typically used for reading and close work. Cheaters were originally designed to help the user see cards from afar, making it easier for them to count cards or identify specific hands.

Historically cheaters were an important part of any card game and could give a player an advantage over their opponents. While it is true that cheaters were used to cheat, they were also used for legitimate purposes such as seeing cards from a distance or helping those with poor vision see the cards more clearly.

No matter the reason for using them, cheaters defined as reading glasses have historically been a mainstay in card games for centuries. Whether they are used to gain an unfair advantage or to assist those with vision impairment, they are an important part of the history of the game and should be respected as such.

How the brand Funkyreaders was born

Through their determination, passion, and drive for something unique, Judith and Martin began to imagine a line of funky glasses that could combine fashion with necessary vision needs. During a holiday in Siena Italy in 2013 they found the inspiration that they needed in a small Italian boutique, just off the Palio. Judith bought a beautiful pair of velvet reading glasses and the dream became reality. The supplier of the velvet glasses was found and after a trip to their factory the first selection of funky reading glasses was made. Since then, the company has grown from strength to strength.

Today, Funkyreaders are extremely proud to be a UK stockist of unique European frames. With a carefully curated range of styles, colours, and shapes, they are committed to offering customers glasses that not only enhance their vision but also express individual style.
