Reading Glasses Set of 3 Half Rim Metal Glasses for Reading Quality Sp

Great price, solid quality! Measure your face before ordering for fitMy husband has been buying reading glasses from drugstores for years. They typically cost around $20 a pair, and he goes through them like candy, he's always dropping them out of his pocket and sitting or stepping on them. It was getting both inconvenient and expensive.I looked on Amazon for replacements, just to avoid driving to the drugstore yet again. My husband likes an odd size, 3.25, and not every Amazon reading glass set goes so high in magnification. When I saw these, I thought, how can they possibly sell 3 pairs of odd magnification reading glasses for under $10? We were paying $20 PER PAIR retail. I was not expecting much, but since he loses them constantly, there was no downside to trying these.First, I grabbed a tape measure and measured his face. If you buy glasses of any type online, there's no telling whether they will fit or not if you don't measure. Judging by the different shapes and sizes of people's faces and eye gap, there could be a huge difference in what works for you and what doesn't.How to measure glasses online:The glasses come with a measurement chart right in the photos. Get the measure for the bridge of your nose (20mm) on a tape measure, and hold it to your nose. That measures where the edge of the lens will sit on your nose.If that measure works, add that bridge measurement to the width of 1 lens (in this case 20mm nose + 51mm for a single lens), hold the 71mm tape to your face where they should go. That should be the distance from center of pupil to pupil.Now add the other lens (71mm + 51mm) That 122mm is the distance from edge of glass to other edge of glass on your face.The protrusion of the arms will take it out on either side a bit further, specifically 127mm as the photo shows. That's the distance from end to end of the glasses on your face, including the arms of the glasses.Then measure the arm to your ear on the tape (in this case 146mm), and hold that to where the glasses would sit on your face to the back of your ear where the arm ends.Don't order the glasses if these measurements aren't close to your face, it won't look or sit right, even if it could fit. Wearing badly fitted glasses for a long time will become uncomfortable. In my husband's case, it was a great fit, but he's got a relatively narrow face. On me, the fit was just a few mm too narrow... but the arms stretch outwards to fit me anyway. If I'm not reading for a long time, I could wear these too, even if the fit isn't perfect. No way could I wear them all day because the fit's not perfect. The style is attractive on us both, that's pretty unusual!Quality wise, I can't see a thing wrong with them... they are comparable if not nicer than the $20 glasses at the drugstore. HOWEVER, they are heavier, because they are more solidly constructed. The weight would be too much for me if I had to wear them all day, in addition to the not perfect fit. Since they are reading glasses for him, and he only pulls them out when reading, the weight isn't even a small problem, it's a benefit. Hopefully the weight will make him notice if they fall out of his pocket. Also, a 3.25 lens is much thicker than normal, so it would necessarily weigh more. I'm sure the smaller increments are a bit thinner and thus lighter.So the Pros:Has the higher magnification that are not always available (3.25 specifically)SOOOO inexpensive! $3.33 a pair!!Solidly constructed, as good as or better than most drug store reading glasses. Seem more durable.The hinge expands outwards to adjust for slightly larger faces (but obviously will fall off a smaller face... MEASURE before buying).ConsHeavier than many drug store reading glasses- if you need the higher magnification and you will wear them all day, these may be too much for you. I'm not taking a any stars off for the weight, because quality tends to weigh more, and that means they are more durable.At this price, these are definitely going to be his 'go-to' reading glasses!! Hope this helps!5Good, solid glasses that do the job and last quite awhileI use these all the time, stepping up .25 mag every yr or so--which means in five years I'll be using a magnifying glass. These are just fine, priced right, solid, good glass with no visible edge blur. I strap them to nerd cords and let 'em hang and swing and get crunched occasionally (back when people could actually hug) and they last months. Then an arm breaks and I pull out the next one...etc. Wouldn't think of spending 20 bucks for reading glasses unless I was that guy in the old Twilight Zone episode who was the last guy on earth and had a full library to savor and then crunched his glasses. But then, hey, there were no store clerks left anyway, so he could just lift em from the store shelf and not even pay, so not a problem in TZ world. In case this might be a concern of yours.5You can't beat the priceYou can't beat the price for a set of 3 pairs of reading glasses. The disadvantage of online ordering is being able to try on the fit and the feel. Out of the box, they were too big for my big head. A couple of small gentle bends on each side of the bridge fixed that for the most part. They still fit a bit loosely, but not a real problem. They are heavier than the last ones that I bought from a major retailer's rack, but I'd also imagine that they will be more durable, too. These have metal arms coated with a plastic finish whereas the ones that I lost were lightweight plastic. The weight difference is noticeable to me, but again not a real problem. With the price, you can't go too far wrong. At worst, you have several pairs of back-ups you can stash away in different places while getting your primary pair at a brick-and-mortar store. I'm quite pleased and use one of the set as my primary reading glasses.4Good for viewing computer screensAs a recovering LASIK patient, I had difficulty focusing on my computer screens after surgery. The doctor recommended 1.0x reading glasses to help with eye strain. After trying the cheap drugstore / dollar store glasses with no success, I decided to try these, based on the high reviews. I must say these are much better because they sit correctly on my face without sliding off, and they are full-size and not squeezing my head. As others have said, the extreme edges of the viewing area are not quite as crisp as the center, however when turning your head, images are not distorted while they are in motion. This can be a problem in other glasses because it can cause dizziness when turning your head, for example if you use these for viewing a large computer screen or dual monitors and you have to move your head to view different parts of the screen(s). I believe the way manufacturers shape the lens is a balance between motion distortion and edge distortion because they run contrary to each other. This pair favors resolving the first problem more, which works for me as a computer user and engineer. For book reading exclusively, you may want to try a pair that carries the magnification to the extreme edges of the lens, since you generally do not turn your head when reading a small book. I hope that makes sense.5Great Reading GlassesThese glasses are excellent. Love them. The frames, the style and they are very comfortable. Very happy with this purchase.Update from last review. After using these reading for a while now, i have to say that they aren't so great concerning the fit. the manufacturer of these glasses missed their mark on one design flaw. The half rim is down too far on the nose and they scratched and irritated my skin and caused a bruise like spot on my face. not happy with them now. Can't wear them.5I am sorry to report that these glasses are useless. I usually buy from CostcoI am sorry to report that these glasses are useless. I usually buy from Costco, but they don't do 275 anymore. I have never had a pair that distorts. These glasses hurt my eyes and if you move your eyes from the center of the glass, they distort and hurt the eyes. I read the reviews and so many were good. But I have to say, I cannot wear them.1UPS SLOPPY DELIVERY; Update Nice units. Pleased Except UPS isn t too careful about delivery glasses.Update: of the three glasses, two have developed chips near the top area of the frame. At first I thought l must have caused the damage but today the same happened to the second pair in the exact same location. Don t know if it is design flaw or what but two units have chipped in the same. Strange !!5Great products! Excellent Customer Service!The glasses seem quite well made, and provide great vision. However, I had a problem with two chips in the outside right lens of one pair. I contacted Success Eyewear and relayed the issue. They responded almost instantaneously, and said they d make it right as another new pair of glasses would arrive shortly.True to their word another pair arrived a few days later! It is so refreshing to deal with a company that sees the value in offering outstanding customer service! It is no wonder they are so highly rated on Amazon.If you have the need, do business with Success Eyewear. You won t be disappointed!5Heavier than expectedWhile the spring hinges are a nice feature that most inexpensive readers do not have, the lenses have a couple of problems that cause me to deduct 2 stars.1. The readers are heavier than my bifocals. These readers were bought to wear when I am working on my computer. After a while, my nose hurts from the weight.2. When I first put these readers on, I noticed that the lenses were not exactly the same, indicating a quality control issue. One lens seems to distort the image.3Well built, quality, sturdy glasses from a company that cares.I received my reading glasses on time, the frame construction & quality is very good, the lense clarity is superb, the customer support was unexpectedly great and appreciated. This is the 1st company that truly takes care of their product and customers. I received an order that was incorrectly boxed, I sent "one" email to make them aware of the inventory mistake and to my surprise the CEO of the company responded and sent me a corrected order. I highly recommend this company and products.5
