Foster GrantConan Multifocus Reading Glasses

Once I discovered these multifocus readers, it changed my life. I use a computer at work and to be able to read something and look up at the screen without having to take my readers off was a huge change. In addition, these look nice. I've actually had people ask where I got my glasses. They are READERS! I now have a pair in my car, at home, by my bed, and at my office. The only thing that is a disappointment is taht one of the frame hinges breaks about once every 3 to 6 months.

Glasses arrived well packaged, are exactly as described, are sturdier than my RX glasses, and most importantly, I can now see!Glasses arrived in an Amazon box, packaged in bubble wrap, plastic wrap and one arm protector.Thanks to the reviews, I received exactly what I was expecting in reference to color, size and quality of the lens.I ordered the 3.75, which is perfect for me. The "progressive" feature is better than my Lens Crafters RX Glasses, which were approx. 10X the cost. Of course, a quality exam, quality lens, tints and frames with structural integrity is my first choice, but when I lose them or want multiple pairs the Foster Grant(s) are a great substitute.The noise bridge is slightly large for my little noise, but not worth complaining since one can not expect a custom fit.Thanks to other's reviews I believe I selected exactly what I needed and would definitely recommend. With Amazon's 30 day return policy worth giving them a try.

Well made close up not as strong as readers

I've purchased Foster Grant reading glasses in the past. After awhile the frame around the glass will break. So I got my new glasses and immediately super glued around the frame from the outside of the glasses. I used Flex Seal super glue that I'm totally favor above other super glues. I use a tooth pick with just a small amount of glue so as not to spread the glue on the lenses. I feel confident they will not break this time around. We'll see! Good viewing !

The Foster Grant "Multifocus" lenses in these glasses are significantly different than typical prescription progressive lenses. These do NOT have any optical distortion, there is no "corridor" or other areas that are out of focus. They are perfect for simultaneous reading, desk work, screen work. I use them for close to medium close tasks like working in my shop, remodeling, operating power tools, etc. The progressive level is full width and not hindered by optical aberrations. I have been using these for about 10 years now, the only change being I have increased the magnification as my eyes get "older," lol. Started at 1.75 and I now use 2.5 depending on the task. Just order your regular magnification.

Love these glasses, just wish they lasted longer than a month without breaking.I purchased two pair — first one broke via defect. Customer service just a wee bit difficult. I've posted the emails below. As of noon 5/26, still waiting to hear back from them. Will add that email shortly after I receive it. Caveat emptor.If I get satisfaction from them in the way of a refund for the first pair I'll change my rating. If I have to jump through hoops or don't get satisfaction it will remain one star.Here's the email thread:On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 10:03 PM:Hello -I purchased a pair of Conan multifocus readers off Amazon.com at the end of April.LOVE them, but the left bow popped off the metal attachment (and a tiny piece of the metal broke as well.)I am heartbroken at having to go back to doubling up glasses, and wonder if you have a warranty that would cover this.I purchased another pair on Amazon just tonight. I’ve enclosed both invoices for your review and would be happy to send you the broken pair as proof.Please let me know if you would be able to refund my money for the additional pair I had to purchase.Many thanksOn May 27, 2015, at 9:46 AM, Unknown fgxics <[email protected]> wrote:Hello,Thank you for contacting Foster Grant.

It broke at the bow just as I described in my first email.Happy to send it back. Prefer to send photos, as it appears I would be paying money to ship back a defective product that came apart a month after light usage and I don't think that's right or fair. I think it's important to note that I have a slim head and face and the bows were at no time under stress. I also never wore them on my head – I wore them on a glasses cord.I have included in this email the invoice for the first one that I purchased, photos of it broken, and the second invoice for the one that I bought yesterday to replace that broken one.I don't need a replacement from you, I need a refund for the broken one. I stated in my first email that I have already ordered a replacement.I'm gonna post my review on Amazon.com with this conversation so that others can see what to expect when the product fails.I actually looked at someone's review online and they had experienced the same problem and got a refund. I was hoping to have the same experience.Thanks

I like the magnification of these and the progressive feature works very well. They arrived with one straight arm and one curved arm but they are usable.

Buen producto

compré unos anteriormente, y ahora el mismo pero en otro color.una armazón robusta y reforzada, ópticas de gran calidad, muy superior a letes baratos.

I really like these glasses, but I have to say after buying quite a few pairs they always seem to break easily.

Amazing glasses. I love them
