Reading Glasses Set of 3 Half Rim Metal Glasses for Reading Quality Spring Hinge Readers Men and Women

These glasses are excellent. Love them. The frames, the style and they are very comfortable. Very happy with this purchase.Update from last review. After using these reading for a while now, i have to say that they aren't so great concerning the fit. the manufacturer of these glasses missed their mark on one design flaw. The half rim is down too far on the nose and they scratched and irritated my skin and caused a bruise like spot on my face. not happy with them now. Can't wear them.

My husband has been buying reading glasses from drugstores for years. They typically cost around $20 a pair, and he goes through them like candy, he's always dropping them out of his pocket and sitting or stepping on them. It was getting both inconvenient and expensive.I looked on Amazon for replacements, just to avoid driving to the drugstore yet again. My husband likes an odd size, 3.25, and not every Amazon reading glass set goes so high in magnification. When I saw these, I thought, how can they possibly sell 3 pairs of odd magnification reading glasses for under $10? We were paying $20 PER PAIR retail. I was not expecting much, but since he loses them constantly, there was no downside to trying these.First, I grabbed a tape measure and measured his face. If you buy glasses of any type online, there's no telling whether they will fit or not if you don't measure. Judging by the different shapes and sizes of people's faces and eye gap, there could be a huge difference in what works for you and what doesn't.How to measure glasses online:The glasses come with a measurement chart right in the photos. Get the measure for the bridge of your nose (20mm) on a tape measure, and hold it to your nose. That measures where the edge of the lens will sit on your nose.If that measure works, add that bridge measurement to the width of 1 lens (in this case 20mm nose + 51mm for a single lens), hold the 71mm tape to your face where they should go. That should be the distance from center of pupil to pupil.Now add the other lens (71mm + 51mm) That 122mm is the distance from edge of glass to other edge of glass on your face.The protrusion of the arms will take it out on either side a bit further, specifically 127mm as the photo shows. That's the distance from end to end of the glasses on your face, including the arms of the glasses.Then measure the arm to your ear on the tape (in this case 146mm), and hold that to where the glasses would sit on your face to the back of your ear where the arm ends.Don't order the glasses if these measurements aren't close to your face, it won't look or sit right, even if it could fit. Wearing badly fitted glasses for a long time will become uncomfortable. In my husband's case, it was a great fit, but he's got a relatively narrow face. On me, the fit was just a few mm too narrow... but the arms stretch outwards to fit me anyway. If I'm not reading for a long time, I could wear these too, even if the fit isn't perfect. No way could I wear them all day because the fit's not perfect. The style is attractive on us both, that's pretty unusual!Quality wise, I can't see a thing wrong with them... they are comparable if not nicer than the $20 glasses at the drugstore. HOWEVER, they are heavier, because they are more solidly constructed. The weight would be too much for me if I had to wear them all day, in addition to the not perfect fit. Since they are reading glasses for him, and he only pulls them out when reading, the weight isn't even a small problem, it's a benefit. Hopefully the weight will make him notice if they fall out of his pocket. Also, a 3.25 lens is much thicker than normal, so it would necessarily weigh more. I'm sure the smaller increments are a bit thinner and thus lighter.So the Pros:Has the higher magnification that are not always available (3.25 specifically)SOOOO inexpensive! $3.33 a pair!!Solidly constructed, as good as or better than most drug store reading glasses. Seem more durable.The hinge expands outwards to adjust for slightly larger faces (but obviously will fall off a smaller face... MEASURE before buying).ConsHeavier than many drug store reading glasses- if you need the higher magnification and you will wear them all day, these may be too much for you. I'm not taking a any stars off for the weight, because quality tends to weigh more, and that means they are more durable.At this price, these are definitely going to be his 'go-to' reading glasses!! Hope this helps!

These have a nice solid feel to them and last quite a while. The only problem I have had is when my puppy has gotten ahold of them. They might survive the first few chews, but eventually, he is able to destroy them. This has happened to a couple of pairs. Yes, I accidentally left them in a place where he could get them - like dropping them on the floor unnoticed for more than three seconds. Anyway, each pair otherwise lasts and provide good visibility with no scratching of the lens which is a real plus. On occasion even when I bent them accidentally in some way, I was able to bend them back to shape easily with little ill effect. Been buying these for several years now. The most common reason for getting out a new pair is because I lost the pair I was using, or the aforementioned puppy terrorist.

Please, do not mistake my decision to give 3-4 stars to be a reflection of how good the product is. I did not know whether I needed magnification 3.25 or 3.50, so I ordered both. This review is for the 3.50 magnification that I received yesterday. I still need to wait several days before the 3.25 magnification arrives. My opinion right now about the 3.50 magnification: the quality and workmanship appear more sturdy and of higher quality than readers you'd buy in a drug store or mass-marketing store. Unfortunately, I have realized rather quickly that the 3.50 magnification is too high, and I'll likely be using the 3.25 readers when they arrive. I will still keep these 3.50 ones, however, because they appear to be well-made, and I know that I'll probably need them down the road.

You can't beat the price for a set of 3 pairs of reading glasses. The disadvantage of online ordering is being able to try on the fit and the feel. Out of the box, they were too big for my big head. A couple of small gentle bends on each side of the bridge fixed that for the most part. They still fit a bit loosely, but not a real problem. They are heavier than the last ones that I bought from a major retailer's rack, but I'd also imagine that they will be more durable, too. These have metal arms coated with a plastic finish whereas the ones that I lost were lightweight plastic. The weight difference is noticeable to me, but again not a real problem. With the price, you can't go too far wrong. At worst, you have several pairs of back-ups you can stash away in different places while getting your primary pair at a brick-and-mortar store. I'm quite pleased and use one of the set as my primary reading glasses.

The glasses seem quite well made, and provide great vision. However, I had a problem with two chips in the outside right lens of one pair. I contacted Success Eyewear and relayed the issue. They responded almost instantaneously, and said they’d make it right as another new pair of glasses would arrive shortly.True to their word another pair arrived a few days later! It is so refreshing to deal with a company that sees the value in offering outstanding customer service! It is no wonder they are so highly rated on Amazon.If you have the need, do business with Success Eyewear. You won’t be disappointed!
