V.W.E® Classic Outdoor Reading Sunglasses - Comfortable Stylish Simple Readers Magnification - Not Bifocal

Okay, a disclaimer. My Rx for glasses is a +2.00, so I wasn't looking for bifocal readers, I was looking for inexpensive sunglasses. Holy cow, did I strike the mother load. These glasses are very high quality, have spring hinges, look like expensive sunglasses, have great optics, fit my fairly large head well, are full sized with no lines or bifocals, and give me every bit of satisfaction that a $300 prescription pair would have provided.

I needed these quickly for vacation driving, but ordered with skepticism, given the low price (2 for $13). (Mine are 1.0, others available) When they arrived,I put them on and was surprised how good they are! They are full frame and clarity was excellent. The darkness is just right; I'd call it medium or a bit darker - quite useful. Other reviewers noted flimsiness, easily broken. I see what they mean, but with a little care, these glasses are just fine,. And while some see flimsy as a detriment, it also means the glasses are lightweight, an advantage for me. Also, the arms on the side (I guess they call those side arms that hook over the ears "temples") those are high - I mean, when you flick your eyes far to either side, you are looking under the arms, they don't block that side vision! I've used these for several months and I still smile when I pick them up! Great value, great purchase!

So, my eyes are sort of fixed. I had inter-ocular lens replacement about a year ago, so long distance and middle distance are great, but I still need a little help with reading. Before my holiday in Crete I purchased this package. I went for the +1.5, which is comfortable for both for me and my wife, so we each took a pair. They were terrific for reading in bright sunshine (mostly on Kindle in my case) but were not so useful in lower light conditions. Just be aware that they work best in bright sunlight. No complaints about performance or price. Certainly way better than messing about with clips-ons of expensive prescription sunglasses.Incidentally, glasses don't usually fit me very well -- the distance from my face the behind my ear in apparently longer than average -- but these fit really quite well. And at this price, who can really complain? During my vacation I felt really relaxed that I didn't have to worry about losing expensive prescription glasses, and that was a great advantage.

Do NOT have metal hinges. Lenses give "fish eye lens effect" inducing mild motion sickness when I moved my head. The tint was a nice color and about right as for darkness, width of frame was wide enough, a full size adult frame.

I purchased these glasses to use while recovering from surgery, as I like to read outdoors. So far they have held up very well. Keep in mind, these are not Ray-Ban and these are not bifocal sunglasses. I personally struggle with lined bifocal glasses so these work very nicely. Great look and functional. They do the job. Just what I was looking for. And you can’t beat the price...2 pairs under $15.00. I recommend this product.

These are great for me. I got the +1s. I have a +1 distance and +2 reading prescription; these allow me to see distance while driving, and that helps me also see the dash and gauges. They are a little dark but well made and a great value for two. I may buy another set just so I can keep them in multiple cars to have when needed.

Optical quality is fine for a cheap tinted reader, and as someone with a big head, the width and spacing is great. The frames, though, are super-chunky and cheap. The frames feature a goofy silver accent that has no place being there, and the temples are SUPER fat and wide. I guess you get what you pay for, but they look even more cheap in person than in the pictures. That said, they get the job done, so I can't complain too much, especially for the price. Not sure how they'll hold up long-term.

These readers were not easy to find. I kept getting bifocals by accident, even after double checking my order! These readers are well made and solid. I received 2 pair and a handy pouch for each.
