DOUBLETAKEReading Glasses - 2 Pairs Compact Case Semi Rimless Readers

Local eye doc told me $500 for a pair of prescription glasses. I only need (right now) for reading. I ordered qty - 2, 2 packs of these so I can have a spare set and place the rest in different parts of the house. Work just fine and it was a heck of a lot cheaper that the FANCY eye store glasses. And, when they are inevitable lost or crushed, I will spend less than $20 for two more.Previous pair still in good shape after over a year but eyes got a little fuzzy with age. Next level up magnification and just as happy with second purchase of these.

Love these. Eye glasses. . I like the carrying case that they came with. Helps need to keep track of them and I’m not wearing them, I was very pleased with the purchase

I'm 68 and have been wearing prescription glasses from the age of around ten years old. I've been using over the counter reading glasses for the last few years to help with reading and close up work. Each year it seemed I was increasing the strength to the point where they didn't work no matter what the strength and my overall vision wasn't good. Every year I have a full eye exam as being diabetic I want to make sure I keep my sight. This year instead of using the local vision stores and their optometrists I went to a ophthalmologist for the exam. Turns out the reason I was increasing the strength of the reading glasses and having general sight problems was due to a couple of cataracts. I was told a couple of times by the optometrist that there was an indication of the start of a cataract in my right eye but nothing to be alarmed about. The cataracts warranted immediate surgery which was done on both eyes the following week. Yes both eyes at the same time due to another ailment I have which is Parkinson's disease and because of head tremors it was decided to use general anesthesia. Because this meant an overnight stay at the hospital I asked and was given permission to get both eyes done and to get it over with. The surgery went extremely well and nobody who hasn't had the surgery will understand the great improvement in vision. Before surgery I was offered a treatment that would correct both near and far vision but Medicare will cover only single vision procedures and at the additional $4500.00 per eye I decided to fix my distance and not closeup vision. It meant the possibility of prescription reading glasses but already use to glasses so I didn't consider that a problem. At my final eye exam it was determined that over the counter reading glasses would be fine. It was suggested that a magnifying strength of + 2 for normal reading and a +2.5 for that very fine print and intricate work. This is the review of the +2.5.Amazon offers so many of the non prescription reading glasses that it's a pretty difficult process to choose just the right ones. After at least an hour or so I chose the Double Take. I liked the idea that they are pretty much half framed. This allows me to read but at the same time look over the top frame to see the computer screen as well as the TV equally well. I remember my grandmother doing this with her prescription reading glasses and thinking it kind of funny. Now I find it the perfect solution. Another nice thing I enjoy about these glasses is the spring hinged bows. This feature allows you to place the glasses at that certain placement allowing the over the frame viewing of TV and reading. The quality of the frames is pretty good, not as good as an expensive pair purchased at the opticians but very close. The lenses themselves don't seem to distort as some of the others I've had through the years which is great. It's like you don't know you are wearing glasses. Overall a great experience so far with these glasses. The price is great for one pair but fantastic for two. Now there's a pair at my desk and one in the bedroom. Now with every good things mentioned there is one negative I feel I should mention. It's a nice gesture to include a hard case for each pair and a microfiber cleaning cloth but the hard cases are extremely difficult to use. You have to place the glasses in such a particular way or risk the spring activated hinge clamping down on one or both of the bows. It's easier just to set them down in a safe place.I'm extremely happy with these glasses and have no problem with recommending these to anyone. Everything is almost perfect. The price, the materials used in production, the lack of distortion and the spring hinged bows make these the best I've ever worn. The too small hard case is the only drawback but not enough of one to decrease even a half a starThere is one thing I must add. Anyone who has or even thinks they may have cataracts should be examined. If surgery is necessary or suggested have it done. Your brain gets so use to failing eyesight and you just let it slide. I can't explain how wonderful the world looks through eyes that are free from cataracts.

good quality for price

I have 6 pairs of the Doubletake reading glasses now. Like to have them in different places so they are there when i need them. 4 pairs i bought 3+ years ago and they are very durable. None have broken on me yet. Very nice quality readers. Id buy again and i do recommend.

My distance vision is great, but my up close reading needs help. These lightweight rimless reading glasses are comfortable and perfect for my needs. I purchased several and put one in each car, one in the kitchen, family room, and bedroom. So I don't have to carry them around. Just pick one up when I need one.

I bought three sets (six pair of glasses) and the very first pair that I unpacked was missing a nose pad. Another one had the nose pad support severely bent sideways. The remaining four all had varying degrees of deviations in the frame that would need adjustment. The other disappointment was that despite the seller and several buyers insisting that they were both black, they are in fact different colors. One is satin black and the other is gun metal gray. You can see a subtle difference in the product photo. It is not a lighting effect as the seller claimed. Not a deal breaker in itself, just annoying that even the seller doesn't know their own product. With the defects, overall poor quality, flimsy design and misrepresented color difference, I will most likely be sending them back. Great deal if they were better quality. I just don't think that I can trust them to hold up more than a couple months.UPDATE:The seller responded after I posted this review and offered a refund for two sets of glasses. Fair compensation for my trouble. Can't complain about that. Four stars for good customer service.

Like did improve my sight, didn’t fit no in between!

Quite form fitting and the lens are very clear, one of the better and less expensive glasses that I have purchased over the past few years.

Llegaron antes de lo esperado, buen producto, la calidad es buena, me sirvieron para lo que los requería, es un producto que volví a comprar para regalar este segundo juego ya que quede satisfecho con ellos.
