Worth the higher cost
I first bought a pair of these a couple years ago to use for watching TV with my husband. I had cataract surgery and now my eyes are more light sensitive. He loves watching TV with the lights off and I found I was getting headaches while watching with him. I figured it was blue light, got a pair with 0 magnification, started wearing them for TV, and headaches/eye strain gone. For the cataract surgery, I got graduated vision distance lenses implanted which let me see middle and far distance. Before that, I was pretty myopic - now it’s reversed. Because one eye is middle distance and one is distance, that means I have different prescriptions for each eye for readers. I got a pair of blue-blocking prescription readers for regular use. But, I also wanted a spare pair for next to the bed so that I could read at night, read labels in clothes, that sort of stuff. I have a pair of wire-rimmed readers with nose pads which are okay. But nose pads really bug me. Plus, wire frames always end up getting bent out of shape in tiny ways that eventually make a huge difference to comfort and visual acuity. So, I got a pair of these in 1.5 magnification as my spare pair. They’re light, the frame doesn’t present much contrast, and they block blue light really well. I especially like that the frame is bendy and they don’t have nose pads digging into the bridge of my nose (especially when it’s allergy time and my sinuses are swollen). Like most off-the-shelf readers, the magnification isn’t perfect and that’s made worse by my uneven eyes. But, they’re 1/10th the cost of prescription glasses and only intended for occasional use, so they’re good.

Great cheaters!!
Bought some other ones several months back and were just ok. These are great quality and extremely light weight. Terrific!

Worth paying a little more for
The quality of these glasses seems as good as prescription glasses (for distance) I've paid many times more for. My ears are at different heights, so I have to push them down on one side to make them level, but that isn't the fault of the glasses; I always have a technician straighten prescription glasses when I buy them from an optometrist. I like the way they look when I'm wearing them, and I'm extremely particular; I have a very hard time finding frames that suit me.The well-made case, jeweler's screwdriver and cleaning cloth are classy touches and greatly appreciated.These are the first readers I have used, and I ordered mine with +1.25 magnification. I have dry eyes, and for many years they have been constantly itchy, usually red, and sometimes painful, especially during the many hours a day I spend on the computer. For many years I have been using multiple vials of lubricating eyedrops each day for some relief.These glasses have made a dramatic difference to the way my eyes feel... they no longer itch, they aren't red, and they aren't painful. I now use a small fraction of the number of vials of eyedrops I used to use because my eyes feel so much better-- which is saving me money on eyedrops.Honestly, my guess is that I had been straining my eyes by spending so much time on the computer without using readers, and that it's the magnification in these glasses that is making the difference to the comfort of my eyes. Having said that, however, when I turn the glasses at a specific angle to the light I can see a purplish blue coating on both sides of the lenses; that is presumably the coating that is blocking the blue light.I wasn't having trouble sleeping before, and I don't notice any difference in my sleeping habits now. However, I look at the blue light blocking feature in the same way I look at vitamins-- it might help, and I don't see how it can do any harm. It was worth spending a little more than plain readers just in case.

Well made but slightly tight on my face (Asian face)
it is stylish and more or less well made reading glasses. However, i felt that it is slightly too tight on my face, but that wasn't the reason I am returning. I normally wear 2.5 prescription glasses, but this one seems like 2.75 or even 3 reading glasses. Bit too strong for my eyes. Other than that, it is a decent reading glasses.

Good Optics, No spring hinges, Jury's still Out on Blue-block effectiveness
I've been using these as computer glasses for about a week now and am mostly happy with them. Here's why.THE PROS: The 1.75 magnification I ordered was perfect, and I can see clearly through the entire range of the lens. The glasses are lightweight, and with the integrated nose brace, I don't worry about nose pieces falling off. They came with a hard case, a polishing cloth, and a tool set. Yeah!THE CONS: There are no springs in the earpieces. The ear piece hinges seem a bit tight. I'm not sure this is a con, because experience with similar hinges in the past has ranged from the screw loosening and falling out to the screw working itself so tight it eventually caused the earpiece to break off to the screw and hinge joint remaining perfect through the life of the glasses. Only time will tell how these pan out.THE QUESTIONS: The lenses are clear, yet they claim to block blue light. I did about 40 minutes of online research, and was unable to find a definitive answer to whether clear lenses are capable of blocking blue light. Manufacturers say yes, writers with opinions but no facts say probably not, but I couldn't find any independent laboratory tests confirming this one way or the other.The bottom line for this Blue Light Blocking capability - which is why I bought these particular glasses - will be after I spend a long day at the computer, do my eyes burn and feel tired? They haven't yet, so maybe they work fine.All in all, considering that reading glasses like this range in price from about $3 at your local mega-mart to more than $200 from places that are inordinately proud of their offerings, the ~$33 I spent on these seemed a decent value for the money. Although for this price, I hoped they would have spring hinges.

Beautiful!
I LOVE the glasses. Was worried because of the cost but, it is worth the money! The glasses are so delicate and light. You can feel the quality. BEAUTIFUL! Delivery took much longer than expected, but I am so happy with the glasses that I couldn't take a star away.

A true protection
Amazing product. Stylish. Amber in colour. Light weight- I don't even feel that there's a specs on my nose. Looks really fragile, but I guess it is not. It protects my eyes from Glare and Blue ray. I use it while i drive and use gadgets.I didn't do any technical test to see it's authenticity, but i would say one thing with confidence that this has become an inevitable medium between my eyes and anything that disturbs my eyes. I feel it's authenticity intuitively.A great protection.
