Stylish but Narrow Glasses
Pros:✔ As Advertised – The glasses match the product description.✔ Stylish & Expensive-Looking – The olive color is super cool, and the design has a high-end look.✔ Accurate Magnification – The lenses provide the correct level of magnification.✔ Good for Certain Uses – They rest nicely on the tip of the nose, making them great for reading a book on a desk or lap.Cons:✖ Narrow Fit – The arms of the frames press against the sides of my face.✖ Small Lenses – Not ideal for working at a computer due to the limited lens size.✖ Fit Consideration – If most standard "one size fits all" hats feel snug or too small on you, these glasses may also feel tight.Final Thoughts:I love the color and will use them to look at my phone while watching TV. Since they rest comfortably on the tip of my nose, I can clearly see my phone while still being able to look across the room without glasses—making them perfect for this use. However, if you need glasses for computer work or prefer a roomier fit, you might want to consider another option.

So comfortable
I didn’t think I’d like these as much as I love them! They are the perfect size, they sit so well on my face, no slipping. I like they don’t have metal nose pads, it is one solid plastic piece, so if I pull them up on my head they don’t catch my hair. They look high quality. Very cool and vintage. The colors are deep, not to bright yet noticeable. They work well, I’ve bought some glasses from Amazon in the past, and couldn’t even see out of them, these are correct in the prescription.

Cute! On Trend! Well Made!
Great look as a change up from the heavy full size readers. The way that they sit on my nose, I can read and glance up at the same time. Plus they are sturdy. Good choice!

Cheap
These are very cheaply made, but the price reflects that. They are fragile to say the least, so you have to be gentle with them. Don't imagine they will last long, but they're fine for around the house and I can see through them. I do like the design which is why I bought them. Fun and useful...as I said...cheap, and priced accordingly. Should be $5 IMO.

CUTE BUT NOT DURABLE..
you get what you pay for.they cute, but cute does not mean durable.2nd day screws pop out of one of the arms that rest on the ear and will not stay in place when i put back in.had to rig it with scotch tape.then a few days later the lens pops out and will not stay back in place.THATS ALL....

I like the look but a couple of design flaws
I am finding the size and shape of these lens and the positioning of the comfortable nose bridge perfect for extended wear. It’s easy to position them so that they don’t interfere with my distance vision yet are fully accessible for reading. So why a three rating? Two issues that are not so significant that I will return them but significant enough that I wouldn’t order a second pair.The first issue is the width. I am a female with an average sized head, and I find the frame arms tight. It’s good that I’m comfortable with wearing the frames halfway down my nose because the arms would be just too tight to overlook if I wanted to wear them closer to my eyes. I frankly can imagine these frames on a wider face, including most male faces.The second issue is that on one of the arms, the metal adornments (which I assume was added for style) are roughly finished on the inside and the outside. I became aware of this because I noticed the interior piece was scratching my cheek. I then checked both of the pieces on this arm and felt the edges were jagged. I filed down the edged with an emergency board and added a few dabs of clear fingernail polish to cover the still somewhat edges. That has worked well enough, but it shouldn’t have been necessary, given that those pieces on the frame’s other arm are smooth on both sizes. If I were to make another purchase, I’d find a style that avoids these metal adornments so to not run the risk of rough edges. (Plus, these adornments add to the width of the arm at the point where I am feeling the most pressure on my face.)Thus, I will keep these glasses because I love the look (so much better than those stereotypical half lens librarian look) and the ease of switching between short and long distance needs. Still, those two issues would prevent me from ordering another pair.

Coolest reading glasses ever!!!
These are the coolest looking reading glasses ever! They are so vintage and retro looking that people will be asking where you found them! The price is so good you can buy multiple pairs in different colors. They are comfortable too. Look like a scholar... buy these!
