Title: The design is simply wonderful
Review: Initially, I was not impressed by these reading glasses. They actually feel a bit flimsy and are better described as unobtrusive than stylish. After using them for a few months, though, I don’t see myself buying any other brand as long as these are made. The flimsy turned out to be a good thing (read on), and unobtrusive is not a problem when you value function more than form.The optics are very good. I notice some distortion if I pay careful attention, but this seems to be due to the interpupillary distance being a little bit off. Unfortunately, my eyes are set a little bit further apart than the industry standard for reading glasses. The distortion might cause my eyes to feel more tired than usual after reading for 3 or 4 hours, but, as I type, I’ve had them on for about 5 hours, and they’re still not bothering me.I almost always have my readers available because I can carry these in my jeans pockets, either front or back. They won’t drop out of my shirt pocket, there’s no chain to snag on anything, and I won’t accidentally leave them somewhere, all because my readers usually ride in my front jeans pocket next to my mobile phones. The top of the rim is a thin, clear, flexible material, the bridge is slightly flexible, and the temples are very flexible. This flexibility seems to be what allows the glasses to keep their shape but still survive my jeans pockets. I’ve learned that I need to exercise more common sense, though. I just ordered another pair because, after doing a 16-mile hike and several walks on the beach with my readers in my front shorts pocket, the lenses got thoroughly pitted in a 1/2 cm spot in the middle of my field of vision.Imagine having your reading glasses slide off your face while you’re looking down, trying to put a tiny screw back into a different pair of reading glasses. I’ve never had this happen since getting theses glasses. They’re very light, the temples are slightly grippy, and the nose piece fits me well, so I rarely need to push these glasses back up…they essentially don’t slide. This is also the first pair of reading glasses I’ve owned that didn’t require tightening the screws occasionally.Finally, the bridge has a flat and wide shape that’s easy for me to grasp with my thumb and forefinger, so I can easily take these glasses off or put them back on with one hand. I can take them off, fold them up, and put them in my pocket with one hand. Unfolding them one-handed can be done, but isn’t as easy.Overall, these readers are fantastic. I highly recommend them.

Title: Just about the best!
Review: Honestly, I tend to distrust 5 star reviews, and so I almost never give them. That being the case, I think I should explain this one.I feel like I’ve been looking for a really good set of readers forever. I probably have three dozen pairs laying around in drawers gathering dust, so when I got these, I was preemptively skeptical. On first glance, they don’t really look like much. They are minimalistic. Nothing shiny, fancy, glitzy or even high tech jump out. Then, I put them on. That’s the real test after all right? Here are my conclusions:They are ridiculously light. What does that mean? I mean after the first couple seconds, you forget you have them on. No pressure on the nose, or the ear pieces. The design is such that the lenses are removed from the nose piece, and so there is no contact with them and your face. The arms are a very light, thin and flexible material that manages to hold them on while the quickly warm to your skin, and you can literally barely feel them. They are hands down the most comfortable glasses I’ve ever put on. Fantastic.They are clear, sharp, and virtually distortion free, even at the very edges. The lens quality is really excellent. Here is my only wish in my entire review: I wish they extended about another 1/2 inch above and below, but that’s really not something you can’t judge just by looking at the picture. The have more than enough lens for readers, but I’m easily distracted by the lines; that’s just me. Your individual mileage may vary here.They hang on to your head, again without pressure. This is not a comfort thing so much as a keep your glasses from falling into your soup thing. Considering that they don’t have spring hinges, I was a little worried, but they have spring built right into the arms. They manage to hug tight with no pressure because they are curved back rather sharply, and they are so light that the flex of the arms is enough, as little pressure as they exert.They are stupidly easy to clean. This was a real surprise, and I was delighted. It’s not really apparent from the pictures, but the genius(es) who designed these must have spent some frustrating hours trying to dig gunk out from around the frames of their glasses, because they just got rid of the frames. Well, not exactly, but I’ll explain. The nose piece does not touch the lenses at all; it sort of floats between them. The actual frame goes around the bottom of the lenses, but it is actually thinner than the lens itself. That means when you wipe them, you only touch the lens surface. At the hinges, the lens comes right up to them, but even then there is a slight gap where that super thin frame comes up to the hinge. You can clean the entire lens surface without obstruction.The case is solid. It’s a very nice addition considering the price and quality of the glasses. I was expecting something that was serviceable but cheap. That’s not the case, no pun. It’s soft to the touch but rigid and tough. The covering is just sticky enough to stay easily in the pocket without falling out.These glasses are light, thin, and may be a bit fragile (I don’t plan to bounce them off of things to find out) so these are for reading, not parachuting. You’ll probably want something else if you think you might be doing something strenous. For my evaluation of my needs in readers, this is not a consideration, but again, your individal mileage may vary in this regard.So these glasses check every box for a pair of low profile readers. If you need just enough view over the top and plenty of lens real estate to read with, I can almost guarantee you won’t leave these in the drawer to gather dust.Happy reading!

Title: Lightweight and functional
Review: These were excellent readers. My boyfriend liked the weight and the look of them, plus the case was much higher quality than we expected. His only complaint was the size, but he also has a large head so take that as you may. Overall, a good value for the money.
