Here’s a smart idea to complete your new smart look.
Dallas-based online eyewear provider ReadingGlasses.com has partnered with American Mensa, the high IQ society, to launch The Mensa Collection, a limited-edition eyewear line honoring eight of the world’s greatest thinkers.
The rollout features frames celebrating Newton, Euler, Mozart, Descartes, Lovelace, Beethoven, Gauss, and Voltaire. Each is engraved with a signature element of their genius—such as Newton’s Three Laws of Motion or Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. The historical luminaries were selected by Vinnie Chieco, a Mensa member and the mastermind behind the naming of Apple’s iconic iPod.
The glasses were designed by Peter Granoff, owner of ReadingGlasses.com.

“The Mensa Collection is eyewear with IQ,” Granoff said. “These glasses aren’t just tools for better vision—they’re a tribute to brilliance, wrapped in beautiful design.”
The designer glasses, starting at $90 for an Rx-Ready frame, bring “a witty twist” to timeless sophistication, the company says, proving that “intelligence is always in style.”
The company said the eyewear is crafted with premium materials and each frame offers both prescription and ready-made reading options, including single vision, progressive lenses, sunglasses, and reading glasses. Each pair comes with optical-quality, anti-reflective lenses and optional enhancements such as blue-light filtering and photochromic lenses.
ReadingGlasses.com said each purchase includes “clever extras” such as a book-shaped eyeglass case, a custom cleaning cloth, and a complimentary Mensa Practice Test for those ready to put their own brainpower to the test.

“We’re really excited about this collaboration with ReadingGlasses.com,” Tamesha Logan, executive director of American Mensa, said in a statement. “For generations, glasses have signaled intellect, and The Mensa Collection turns that signal into a statement. It’s where sharp minds meet sharp style.”
ReadingGlasses.com was founded in 1986 by father-and-son team Robert and Peter Granoff.
American Mensa is an organization open to anyone who scores in the top 2% on an accepted standardized intelligence test. Mensa has more than 45,000 members in the United States and more than 140,000 members globally.
