BLUELESS Vintage Round Reading Glasses Professor Readers (Transparent Tortoise, +4.00)

First off, these are excellent readers if you have a smaller face. If you have a wide face, you should probably look for something with a wider frame. With that out of the way, you get a lot for your $$$ here:* stylish frame (obviously personal preference)* spring hinges* accurate magnification* no chromatic aberration (images stay un-distorted all the way to the edges)* a surprisingly good hard case, not some flimsy plastic pouch* two cleaning cloths* a soft, snug, cloth bag for the frames that can be used alone or inside the hard caseI often see people complain that their readers are flimsy. I suspect this is because they constantly take their readers on and off and readers are....readers -- they're not made of iron. So if you're rough on these they will probably break like others, but they strike me as reasonably durable if treated with care.If you want readers that will be quite durable but will cost you a bit more, Foster sells readers with hinges that flex every which way and are made of metal. I have a pair of those and they are definitely difficult to break. They also look more dorky. Anyway, different product. For the money, these are excellent, I'd definitely get them again.

these were ordered partly for a specific costume i am making, and partly for regular use as there is (finally) a term for my preferred style of daily dress: 'history-bounding'. so now i know! the spectacles are ridiculously cute. they look vintage enough to work with my costume, and seamlessly go with my regular clothing. they are clear, with good magnification, and function perfectly well for my small print/details needs. i chose 1.75 strength, and they seem exactly on target for that. the frames are smoothly finished and a pleasing shade of faux tortoiseshell. if they hold up to regular use, i shall be very happy with them indeed.points for other shoppers: because these are vintage style, the lenses are quite small. those who expect or need full coverage for the eyes to read without strain should take this into consideration. for me, it's not a problem, and shouldn't be if the main use of these glasses is minor, occasional magnification. YMMV, of course.not a problem for me, because i have a small (child-sized!) head, is the overall size of the frames...they are small! they fit me perfectly, and for that reason i can be sure that others out there would find these ludicrously tiny and possibly too tight for comfort. for younger folk, and for people like me---mainly very small-framed women or very narrowly-made gents---they work a treat. i'm very happy with them.

I liked these, but the fit wasn’t as comfy as I like. The nosepiece was just kind of resting, and not firmly in place. Other than that, super cute and high quality

Get so many compliments on these glasses

Terrific reading shades. Very dark.

Exactly what they said. Nice glasses. Lightweight and comfortable

I like the small frames, and they make reading much easier. However, I have doubts that the frame is sturdy enough to last very long.

I needed a prescription shades, because, aging, you know. My local optician offered me to resolve the problem for many many hundreds of US dollars. Went online, bought these for much much less and they do the job and people often ask me "where did you get these cool glasses?". My answers vary: sometimes I tell them I got them specially made for me by a company that makes telescope lenses for NASA, sometimes I say that it is something I found on a bench on the park not far from where I live and lo and behold - the lenses fit.
