About

Hi, I'm Emma and welcome to Blind As A Bat. I'm the owner and usually the voice on the other end of the phone or email when you contact us, although you may also come across Dave (my Dad, who doesn't do retirement well and loves talking to people) if things get a bit busy.

So, age and genetics (thanks Mum!) caught up with me a little while back and what began as squinting to read the really tiny print turned into having to get someone else to read the menu for me. It was time to act so it was off to the chemists to get a pair of readers. Oh dear!

Why did they all look the same? Wire or black plastic frames, those narrow little lenses that were like looking through gun slots, and pretty flimsy to boot. But hey, at least I could read the menu.

Anyway, long story short, I figured there had to be a better way so I thought I'd build a range of readers that looked good, worked well, and wouldn't fall apart, and here we are - Blind As A Bat was born.

I hope you enjoy the range of reading glasses I've put together that combine fashionable frames that you aren't actually embarrassed to wear, high optical quality acetate lenses, hinges with metal screws, and sturdy, lightweight acetate frames.

Based in Cairns, Queensland, I hold all my stock here myself and ship all orders next business day, although I do try to get early morning orders out that day if I can get them packed before Australia Post arrive for our daily pickup.

Anyway, enjoy, and if you have any questions just drop me a line at info@blindasabat.com.au

Thanks for dropping by,
Emma
