Est. 1985 · New York City

Where refined luxury meets ready-to-wear.

SCOJO New York was born from a simple belief: that the glasses you reach for every day deserve the same attention to craft as anything else you wear with pride.

Our origin

It started with the belief that readers could be beautiful

Before SCOJO, reading glasses were an afterthought — a drugstore fixture, a compromise. We set out to change that. Founded in New York City, we built SCOJO on the conviction that optical quality and genuine style don't have to be a trade-off. Every frame we make is designed to be something you want to wear, not just something you have to.

What we stand for

The principles behind every pair

  1. Optical-grade craft, every time

    We use surgical-grade materials, optical quality lenses and scratch resistant coating because the things you rely on daily deserve to be made properly. No shortcuts.

  2. Design that earns its place

    Every frame starts with form, then 
function. We design for the way you 
actually live — the dinner table, the desk, 
the weekend, the light.

  3. Accessible luxury

    Luxury doesn't have to mean 
inaccessible. We offer premium 
readers at a price that respects both 
the craft and the customer.

  4. Color as a statement

    Our palette is considered, not accidental. From rich tortoiseshells to unexpected brights, we treat color as part of the design — not an afterthought.

  5. Worn with confidence

    We've heard it thousands of times: "I didn't know I could love my readers." That's the point. Glasses you're proud to reach for, every single time.

  6. Standing behind the product

    Free 2-day shipping. A 12-month warranty. 30-day returns. We make it easy to love what you buy — and easy to come back.

Made with New York in mind

The city shapes everything we make.

New York is a city of people who take how they look seriously — on the subway, at the café, in the boardroom, at the gallery. It's a city that moves fast and notices everything. That's the lens we design through. Every frame we create has to hold its own in that light.

Loved by readers

  • "I own nearly every color. After having cataract surgery, I only needed readers. I stumbled on these and love them. Recently I had to increase the power, thus purchasing more. I don’t even know I have them on. Please don’t hesitate as they are well made and the colors work for nearly anyone!"
