Readers.com Reading Glasses: The Lynwood, Metal Round Style for Men and Women

If five stars means all your expectations were met then both the seller and these glasses deserve at least six stars!The seller provided very fast shipping and the customer service exceeded my expectations to correct a minor problem. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again.The glasses are everything I wanted and far better than I expected! The frames are as good or better than any $200 prescription glasses I have ever purchased and I have purchased many in the last half of my 79 years on this earth. The bridge is solidly connected to the rest of the frame and the hinges are as good as any I have seen. The finish on the frame is clean and attractive. The nose pads are high quality and attached just like expensive glasses.Best of all is the style and function! After 37 years of wearing bi-focals my recent cataract surgery left me with only the need for reading glasses. Where do you keep reading glasses between the times when you need them? I thought “granny glasses” sitting on the end of my nose might work but anything I found was ugly and flimsy. The Lynwood Unisex Round Reading Glasses looked close to what I wanted but appeared too round and the lens height too high to sit on my nose and still allow me to see over them. To my surprise they were perfect. They look great. They are more oval than the picture appears. They sit on the nose comfortably where I can easily look over them like bi-focals except there is no frame on the top to limit my peripheral vision. I nearly didn’t purchase these because I feared they would not meet my needs. They turned out to be everything I might have hoped for.

These are *not* my computer readers, but for most of my day, these readers are perfect. They are designed with a nice wide bridge that sits down my nose, making it very easy to look over the top of the readers so I can talk with people without needing to tilt my head. The moveable nose pads easily conform to my nose. Couple that with the light weight and the sharp +1.5 correction and you have a very comfortable pair of glasses.Update 2020-07-14: I still love this reader, but I have been hard on it, so I've purchased another pair. This new pair arrived a few days ago and it is just as great as the first pair. I expect I will buy more of them.Update 2020-11-12: Still love these readers and have just purchased a third pair. I'm pleased that I have not lost any of them and my original pair, though a bit beat up, are still very useable. I like placing the readers at strategic locations so I can find a pair when I'm not sure where I last put a pair down that I was using. These are high quality even after continuous use and as the seller says, "Happy eyes, happy wallet".

I ordered 2 pair of these glasses and when I received them, there was a funky, terrible odor emanating from the rubber-like plastic nose guards. They really smell! And due to the proximity to my nose, it was overwhelming. Fortunately I have enough "cheaters" around that I was able to set these aside for a few weeks.I put them on again a few days ago and they still smell terrible. So I tried soaking them for 8 hours in Windex -- to no avail. Now they smell like Windex and that funky terrible smell.This must be related to some kind of petroleum-based material being "cast off" from the rubber pieces. Anyway... DO NOT BUY.

These readers are ok. They are just not the best I have found, but they basically do their job. My three main issues:The half moon could be lower. I really want to be able to wear them to work at the computer then look over them without tilting my head down or having to slide the glasses down my nose. I either have to tilt or slide - and if I slide them down my nose then I don't see so well. Granted they are easier to see over than my other pair, but not by that much.Which leads to issue 2: they are just not as crisp to look thru as the Foster Grants I bought at the same strength locally. You know how you tend to just reach for the ones that work best? Well I reach for the FGs, not these.And the last gripe: they were set so wide at the nose part I couldn't wear them at all without twisting and bending to make them narrower. I was really worried they would break from the amount I had to futz with them to make them even moderately functional. I will have to take them to a professional to get them balanced right, I could not get them quite symmetrical. I have a normal nose - the others fit right away.To end on a positive note, I thought they were fairly well made, and I do not expect them to fall apart quickly. They are quite attractive.

These readers are exactly what I was looking for. I need glasses for reading and close up activities. I spend alot of time reading or using a tablet. I wanted to be able to just glance up to see the tv or other things at a distance - without having to move my head. The design of these readers are perfect for doing just that. At the computer I can focus on the keyboard and glance up with just my eyes to see the screen. There is no upper frame on the glasses to get in the way. The readers are are robust and feel sturdy and the lens are good quality. I would recommend this product to anyone who only needs to use readers for close up and doesn't want to take off the glasses or move their head around to glance at something at a distance. Perfect for me.

These "half moon" reading glasses are exactly what I wanted. I have been near-sighted since elementary school and I now wear single vision RGP (rigid gas permeable) contact lenses which give me superb distance vision. With these contacts, as opposed to bifocal (or multi-focal) glasses, I cannot focus well on close objects, such as books or computer screens. With these reading glasses, I can focus perfectly on near things in the lower half of my field of view and still have my great distance vision in the uper half. Very convenient for those of who were either not born with perfect vision or whose vision has changed with age. These half moon reading glasses are well made, light in weight, and very comfortable. I expect I will be using these for a long time.
