    These are an absolute lifesaver for me! I was constantly forgetting to bring readers with me and this ensures that I always have them, unless I forget my phone, of course. LOVE them!

    After using these glasses for a month, I have found they are very handy. provide a clear view and do not slip off my nose bridge due to the rough, grabby surface texture on the nose pads. The case is just a bit thicker than 1/8", 1 15/16" wide and 3 3/4" long so they will not fit into a credit card slot in a wallet, but they disappear in a clothes pocket and the case is stiff and durable; there is a self adhesive strip for sticking to a phone case or other object. I feel that these glasses exceeded my expectations and had no trouble giving them five stars and would highly recommend them.

    convenient size for storage but my hands are huge and these "pince nez" are tiny, flimsy and cheap feeling. Advert in the package said to register for "Lifetime replacement" went to site and I guess they've revised their warranty to "30 day satisfaction and 6 Months Limited Warranty", understandable considering manufacture origin and material quality. I'm not cheap but I can be rough on things and $20 is the top end for cheaters for me. These glasses have niche use applications, no arms means you can't put a cord or chain on them or stick them on your head or hook them on your collar.

    Were supposed to be flexible but broke within 3 mos. Also do net tey to eat and read at the same time. They will fall off. But they are great readers.

    Love these amazing glasses! Extremely handy keeping them in the slip case adhered to the back of my phone to use them whenever I need them temporarily, which is several times a day now. At 61 I need readers, but a have to hunt down a pair nearby, which is a nuisance. Since I always have my phone with me, I always have emergency glasses. They may look a little funny, but they're life changing! They stick and stay on my nose (unless laughing). I use regular reading glasses with ear pieces for regular reading.

    These glasses are perfect. I use them in case I forget my everyday glasses. They are small, light and easy to put on. The case they send with it fits in your pocket and you don't even know they ate there.

    Practical as It Gets

    This is my second order. My originals had some issues with the nose clamps, but it seems engineering/manufacturing has improved the quality. Warranty claim was initially difficult, but promptly handled with a negative customer service review. These things will not win any style awards, but practicality wins! I have set in my work car, and another in the hard case in my pocket. I am never in need of those pesky reading glasses for reading a restaurant menu or the little labels on bottles at Home Depot.

    Very Convenient Readers

    This is my third pair because I have lost the previous two. Anyway, these readers are so convenient to carry in my pocket. It's nice always having readers when I'm away from the house. The one drawback is that they are not comfortable for long periods of time. Great for a quick glance at a restaurant menu or checking a quick text message.

    These glasses are a life saver, perfect for all those instances where you need just a little help reading small print on bottles, menus, etc. The included pod for storage on your phone ensures they are at your fingertips and easily found.

    Purchased for my dad (who is 76) and he LOVES them. He wears them all the time on our zoom calls but they are not noticeable to us. He thinks they are so handy and helpful. Great vision and cosmesis!

    Purchased as a stocking stuffer for my spouse. I initially picked the wrong magnification level and exchanged that product for this one. She loves how the glasses fold up and go into a thin pocket that she attached to her cell phone case.

    Love these readers...and the slim case too! They fit great and stay put as soon as you put them on without pinching. I have multiple readers all over my house and still randomly find myself without a pair when I am out and about. These are so perfect as a spare/backup pair, I just ordered two more to have in the car and my backpack juuuust in case. HIGHLY recommended!!!
