Foster Grant Men's Sawyer Multifocus Reading Glasses Rectangular

Good quality glasses
Update few days later 3-8-24The two sides of the glasses have a very small spot welded that holds the two pieces of metal together, and I was very disappointed that just from putting on the glasses, the right side broke right off. The spot weld is so small that you can clearly see it just wasn’t enough to hold it on. AMAZON gladly set up an exchange and is sending me a new pair and I will send these back, but it’s just a hassle of returning the item and I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again as I’ve purchased a few pairs of these to put all around the house. Will update again if they break again I’m hoping it just happened on the second pair that I ordered and it won’t happen again.My parents turned me on and gave me a 1.5 X pair of glasses for Christmas as cheaters and they are very comfortable. I ordered these because I’d like glasses throughout the house in each place I could be at and I love these new ones I ordered even more than the last pair. Beautiful frame, nice and sturdy.Definitely recommend

Pretty good but the anti reflective lenses mar color accuracy
Overall very nice. The 3-way lenses work well with zero issues transitioning between the 3 power levels. Silky smooth. My only issue is that the lenses appear to have a strong anti blue tint that ruin any chance of color accuracy while using them. May not be a problem for some but for me it was an unfortunate no. Style is terrific if the Sawyers compliment/fit your face.

Stylish, truly multi focus, and comfortable!
Love these new Foster Grant Multifocus Glasses! After seeing these advertised on television, I decided to give them a try and they are wonderful!I am new to having to wear reading glasses - everyone jokes how it's a birthday gift around 50 years old yet it's no gift. While some of the glasses can be stylish, I find them to be annoying and uncomfortable. Annoying to take on and off and then have to carry them for the few minutes that I'll need them again - maybe just to read a menu. Uncomfortable because I don't need them most of the time so I end up putting them on my head and then they are just an uncomfortable headband. Well, these are different!!!Foster Grant Multifocus are a different kind of reading glass.1. They are stylish. To be honest, I ordered 4 different style in order to choose which ones to buy for my husband and myself. I chose the Conan style and he chose the Sawyer style. All were stylish just each a bit different.2. They are honestly multi focus so I don't need to take them on and off. For me the best part of this is to be able to type on my laptop, turn my head to read a piece of fine print on paper and then return to the computer screen to type. Ahhh! No more taking my glasses on and off again and again. I probably won't walk around in them yet that brings me to the next point.3. They are comfortable. While the multifocus says that you can leave them on to be able to look straight ahead for distance, I didn't find this the most comfortable - while not blurry, it was just a bit straining. So...I put them up on my head. Wow! Foster Grant has wonderful spring arms so they are a very comfortable head band! yeah!While not the least expensive, I am very very happy with our new Foster Grant Multifocus glasses and will be buying more!I appreciate other purchasers' reviews and that is why I choose to write them now. Amazon reviews help me choose which products to buy. I sort product choices by Average Customer Review to help decide which item to choose. I didn't find a lot of reviews for Foster Grant Multifocus as they are quite new. I have found customer reviews to be very helpful and hope that I am paying it forward by providing this review. Thank you to Foster Grant for making this nice product and to Amazon for selling it and shipping it so quickly. I love Amazon!

Love/Hate these - the taller lenses are better
It's great Foster Grant provides multi-focus glasses at a reasonable price. I bought both the Wes and the Sawyer styles (both 1.75x) -- in the attached comparison photo, the Wes is on top, Sawyer on bottom.I have a square jaw and a wide square face, so wide rectangular glasses like the Sawyer look best on me. However there are a few problems with these glasses, and it's particularly bad on the Sawyer. I don't like the Wes style much because it doesn't match my face as well, but in usage it works better, for reasons described below.1) The bottom band of magnification is very narrow, it's maybe 1/6 the height of the lens. Since the Sawyer lenses are narrow to start with, the full-strength magnification is in a tiny sliver at the bottom of the frame. I have to push the glasses high on my nose and tilt my head back to read anything in that band. The Wes is a lot better, because the taller lens has a taller band at the bottom, and the frame also has additional curvature at the bottom so it's easier to read through that area.2) Something seems to be wrong with the lens coating on the Sawyer, so no matter how I try to wipe or clean the lenses I can't get them fully clean. Someone in another review mentioned that the ones at Walgreens are higher quality. Normally I would doubt that's true, but it would explain the difference between my glasses (I bought the Sawyer on Amazon, and the Wes at Walgreens)... so, heh, if I buy more of these glasses, I might avoid Amazon next time.3) On both glasses, there's a circle with letters etched into both lenses. Looking at the glasses from the back, the left lens has the magnification value ("175" in my case), and the right lens has "FGX" which I assume stands for Foster Grant. On the Sawyer, this etching is very strong. It's probably not a problem for most people, but when I'm wearing them I actually see it -- it's a blurry spot on the side of my vision, and I keep thinking I needed to wipe a smudge off the lens. When I first got the glasses I didn't notice the etchings, I just thought it was a smudge, and it took a while to realize that Foster Grant ACTUALLY ETCHED SYMBOLS ON THE LENS YOU LOOK THROUGH. See the attached pics for detail.Overall I appreciate multi-focus glasses at a reasonable price but these frustrate me.

Son buenísimos
Tengo varias gafas, e inclusive un par de multifocales, pero estas son las mejores sin lugar a duda, las puedo traer puestas casi todo el tiempo, interactuar y leer la compu super bien, pero eso sí, debes de atinarle bien a tu graduación. En resumen, valen cada centavo

Damaged!!!
Very nice styling and well made but they arrived with both lenses scratched in the center so quality and styling aside they are useless, poor packaging.

Progressive TRI distance. You will love these!!!
Great readers with the progressive lense. No need to look over the glasses or try and get the distance correct. Lense has a light coating. Reduces glare and reduces eye strain. This is my second set. Love these glasses.
