Half Frame Reading Glasses - Half Moon Readers with Spring Hinge for Women Men

These are just what I was looking for. They are light yet strong.

I have been using these for years and have ordered them many times. They are hard to beat. They are good reading glasses and they are somewhat small and not intrusive. I don't know that I would say they are stylish but being somewhat minimalist, they don't look overpowering either. I have found them to be pretty solid too. They have held up better than any other type I have used. I have broken some. They tend to break at the stem when the side hinge is but honestly, tend to get a year or more out of them before I have any issues. They come in packs of three, so you always have backups. I have some in the office at work, some at home and I carry a pair around when I go out. I wouldn't even think of using another brand after years of good luck with these.

First, let me say I love these half moon readers. They fit my face perfectly and look so much better on me than the full size readers I’ve been wearing on the end of my nose. I feel compelled however to reiterate a comment a previous reviewer left when I was researching which product to buy. These readers do have a noticeable smell coming from the nose pads. I can’t place it but it’s a ‘plasticty’ smell. Maybe like formaldehyde? I don’t know but it’s probably a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC). I don’t notice it while wearing but if you put the nose pads up to your nose it’s definitely noticeable. FYI. Otherwise 5 stars.

After cataract surgery, I used these as my readers, and not the full glass with reader lenses added to the bottom. Though clear glass, the full sized glasses caused a slight distortion in my vision. I was told the brain would need time to retrain its new "vision pathway" so I got the half frames so my eyes were not effected by looking through glass. Worked beautifully. Got stellar reviews at my 6 month follow up exam. The only thing I don't like is that the lenses don't last very long before they become unusable. But they are inexpensive, so it's not an issue for me.

I have these stashed all over the house for reading purposes. They sit nicely on my nose are easy to look over the top of so I can stitch and watch TV. They're pretty sturdy unless you step on them (which is fair, glasses can only take so much hehe), and cheap enough that you don't mind buying another batch if they accidentally get bent up in the washing machine (oops hehe).

I love these glasses. I forget I have them on. After having cataract surgery, I didn't need progressives anymore because I had new lenses with the operation. I needed close up lenses for reading. I purchase a pair in a drug store for about $20 but was constantly taking them off and putting them on. I don't remember what I payed for these since I've had them for quite a while now. These glasses are great. I put them on in the morning and take them off at night and forget that I have them on all day. I even drive with them.

While they look flimsy they are remarkably durable and comfortable. Price is very affordable

These are lightweight, fit my face comfortably. reasonably priced and make reading so much easier. The only issue is when looking through the top of the lens the view is blurry, like the top is not functional.
