- Brooke Shields shared a candid selfie rocking a face mask and readers on Instagram.
- She wore Caddis’ Bixby Progressive Reading Glasses to decompress after a long day of press interviews.
- Her documentary, Pretty Baby, was released on Hulu this week.
There’s no shame in Brooke Shields’ game, whether she’s getting vulnerable in interviews or shamelessly rocking reading glasses and a face mask on Instagram. It’s been a busy week for the actress, who spent it promoting Pretty Baby, a Hulu documentary that details how her life was shaped by childhood exploitation in Hollywood. Needless to say, she had to decompress afterward, which she did with the help of Caddis’ Bixby Progressive Reading Glasses.
“Day after press self-care!!” she captioned a close-up selfie in which her face is barely visible, covered by a gold sheet mask and glasses. “@caddis_life progressive readers & a face mask!”
The gilded glow perfectly complemented Shields’ rosy pink readers, which, she’s not alone in wearing. According to a 2021 report from The Vision Council, 13.2% of Americans wear over-the-counter readers. And if you need them to see, they might as well be cute, right?

Sheilds’ Bixby frame is a bold design made for slightly smaller faces. The progressive lenses transition from no magnification in their top halves to your preferred magnification (choose anywhere from 1.00 to 3.00) in the bottoms, allowing for clear vision near and far. You can opt for the anti-scratch, anti-reflective lenses to also be blue light protective, or for them to have a light-responsive tint. And if you’re not a fan of pink, the Bixby frame also comes in 10 other shades including matte black, cobalt blue, and tortoise brown.
Reviewers have nothing but great things to say about the specs. One said they get “compliments left and right” whenever they wear them. “Great quality, sturdy frame, and I can see great!” another raved. Another said the frames can’t compare to cheap grocery store readers. “I have been accustomed to drugstore readers and these are head and shoulders above any others I have tried,” they wrote.
If you’ve been on the fence about picking up your first pair, but aren’t sure if you’re ready, pay attention to how often you’re squinting. “You’ll know that you need reading glasses if you’re, well, having trouble reading, whether you’re looking at the newspaper or your digital devices,” Diane Hilal-Campo, M.D., board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of twenty/twenty beauty previously told Prevention. “You might be holding your reading materials further away in order to see them. You also might get a headache from the strain caused by trying to effectively see your book or phone.”
Whether you’re in for the treat of trying them or are in need of a quality replacement, get ready for clearer days ahead! And if you want glowing skin like Shields, check out some of her skincare must-haves below.
