Title: Excellent, affordable option. Just be careful with the joint.
Review: These are great readers. They’re an easy, elegant, and reasonably affordable solution to a very common problem: your left eye often has a different reading strength from your right.Quality: high, but with a weakness.The overall build and quality is better than most plastic readers and approaches (but is still shy of) the quality of my prescription Ray-Bans – at less than 1/10th the cost. The lenses are nice and clear with no noticeable distortion. Decent style.HOWEVER, the main caveat is a weakness at the bridge joint. I’ve gone through a few pairs by now. I hang these readers from my collar; rarely but occasionally they will drop on the hardwood, which weakens the joints. The joints have lasted me anywhere from 4 to 12 months before they weaken or break. Super glue can fix a weak joint for another 2-6 months.If I set them down between use, rather than hanging them on my collar, they would probably last longer.I’ve been treating these as semi-disposable. I have a tendency to lose reading glasses regularly anyway. These are much cheaper than paying several hundred for prescription readers. YMMV if you never lose your readers.Fit: very goodThey have a nice snug and comfortable fit. They don’t slip at all – not even if I look down or bang my head to Bohemian Rhapsody a la Wayne’s World. My face is perhaps a bit on the narrow side for an adult male, so they might be a bit tight on those with broader or rounder faces. I think the arms expand out about 3/8″ on either side.The frames: solidYou order two arms – one for the custom strength of the left eye, another custom strength for the right eye – and then snap them together. Once joined, they look and feel like a solid, single, unified frame. There’s no visible seam. The joint doesn’t slip. You can’t create a gap by twisting or pulling the frames. It’s solid. You’d never know by looking at them, even up close, that they started as two separate pieces.The pieces won’t accidentally separate at the bridge. In fact, separating the arms would probably require a deliberate, tedious effort with a small screw driver.My experience: very good, except for the weak bridge joint.My left eye is about 2.00, my right eye ~1.50.My cheap readers are 1.75 for both eyes. I never thought there was any problem with them. Now I know better.Having the correct strength for both eyes is a substantial improvement. Everything (including small text) is much sharper and clearer. These custom readers have dramatically reduced my eye strain.By contrast, when I occasionally switch back to my 1.75 x 1.75 readers, my eyes start to feel strained after just 5-10 minutes. Now that each eye is used to more accurate strengths, I realize how poorly suited my old compromise readers were for spending hours in front of the computer or viewing fine detail like ingredients on jars.Also included:These glasses come with a microfiber cloth and a stiff, protective case.Photo notes: the last two images show the difference in style between the new fade-to-clear style (black with a fade to clear at the bottom of the lens frame) and the all black. With the former, the plastic over the springs is clear. With the all black, you can’t see the springs.

Title: Reading glasses with different power for each eye
Review: I got the diopter for each eye from my optometrist and ordered the correct diopter for each eye. The price listed is for 1/2 of a pair of glasses. After receiving the glasses on the day promised, I was amazed at the difference in my reading distance vision. I should not have waited so long to get them.Assembling the glasses is just sliding the two halves together at the bridge.

Title: Very more fragile than expected
Review: I have bought 4 pair of these now. I had to buy an additional right eye due it breaking right where the clip id held to go into the left side. I thought it was just me doing something wrong when cleaning, but it happened to a second right side again this morning. And I have been extra careful since the first break. So thing there is a product flaw now, not a me issue.

Title: Great to have the option for different correction levels for each eye
Review: I was pleased to find that it possible to buy at a reasonable price reading glasses that enable having different magnification levels for each eye. The two separately ordered halves fit together easily and it appears that – once snapped together – they will be durable. I gave 4 rather than 5 stars because the lens quality seems slightly lower than other low cost reading glasses and because it seems a waste to send each half separately, which is what the vendor did.

Title: Extremely fragile!!!!
Review: These are a great concept if you need to mix and match your reading glasses. However, these are extremely fragile. Mine broke after at true clasp after 3 months. Other reviews warn the same thing. A hard case would have prolonged their life.

Title: Not stylish, but they work!
Review: These things are exactly as advertised. They snap together and are seemingly seamles!My left eye is weaker than the right so mine is a 1.5 L / 1.25 R,I wish they came in a low rise no frame, but I can scootch them down on my nose and peer over them ( I learned) .Not stylish, so I don’t wear them out, but perfect for laptop use. A bit wide for my face.

Review: As a very young child I had a strabizma in my left eye (a/k/a lazy eye). I had 2 surgeries and by age 10, I no longer had to wear glasses., even got my pilot’s licence at 20 ! I am now a 75 yr. old woman who has eye problems. When reading, I am now starting to see double (as in double page or sentences). Lazy Eye returned. I have been keeping my left eye closed or squinting it. I even tried an eye patch to cover that eye. I was on Amazon looking for scratch free reading glasses when I saw this product. What a brilliant idea ! I ordered a stronger lens for the left eye and it works perfectly! I am so pleased. This is the first review I have ever written, but felt I should pass on my excellent experience. I saw a review here that suggested the connector piece was flimsy. Not my experience. I think you would have to be a gorilla to have a problem. I am not the least bit good with finicky stuff and I panicked when I didn’t see any instructions. Didn’t need them. First effort worked effortlessly…. AND they are scratch resistant. Win,Win.!

Review: Good glasses, do the job, and save the hassle of ordering custom ones, just plug and play. Too bad these are not available here anymore, I’d get a spare pair.
