Visualites Lightweight Rimless Reading Glasses For Men and Women - Model - VIS 1

Can't say enough good things about these readers! I now own 3 pairs and have tossed all my other readers in the trash. I get migraine headaches easily and detest wearing glasses of any kind, especially if they are the least bit heavy. These are extremely light weight, with high quality lenses and frames, and I actually forget that I'm wearing them sometimes because they feel weightless on my face. My face shape is a narrow heart and most frames are a bit too wide for me. These are a perfect fit and actually stay put when wearing, and no more sliding down my nose or pinching behind my ears. I can't say enough about the flexibility of the frame, perfect for those of us who are constantly putting them on and taking them off, and the lenses don't scratch easily like so many other brands. These fit and wear like they were made just for me. I find that I have to hold them carefully to avoid smudging them lenses when cleaning them since the lenses are frameless and it can be a bit challenging to clean directly underneath the nose piece screws on the inside, but they are worth the little bit of extra time it takes. (Side note - cleaning any pair of glasses, even sunglasses with much larger framed lenses are a challenge for me to clean.) Highly recommend!

I'm still new to reading glasses and have been pretty disappointed in the quality of them. THESE, however, are great. Light, not huge and overbearing on my face. They aren't so tight that I get a headache from them. And the clarity of the lenses is great. The other pairs I bought (even the pricier computer ones) all have a slight blur to them. I'm a graphic designer! I need to see! Tiny issues with them: the screws in the middle can slightly obscure my vision. It's really minor and I'll get used to it. The case that came with them is a super snug fit. I really have to push them in. I worry I'll damage the glasses doing it. We'll see! Worse comes to worst, I am sure I can find a slightly larger case for a new pair. Because I like the design and quality of these. Edit: much later, I have come back to order more. These have outlasted all my other readers and they are one of my favorite pairs. The issue with the screws in the nose piece? Non-issue. Got used to it. Still light and comfy, takes up v little space in my bag. I want a pair in every color.

EDIT: I kept these glasses and I love them. They have become my favorite pair and I wear them all the time. I've had these about 5 months now. They're still in great shape, and very comfortable! My small band-aid adjustment has been well worth it. Tired of bold, statement reading glasses too heavy for my nose, I was looking for a lightweight pair of glasses that were virtually undetectable. I purchased the clear/crystal color. What I like-- Great lenses; clear as a bell, do not magnify my eyeballs. No more Thyroid Eye Disease look. Light as a feather. No red nose marks. Earpiece is comfortable and Impressive. Small notches in the sleeve over the earpiece keep these from ever falling off my head. I really love this part of the design. Smart! Virtually invisible. (More on that below) Reasonably durable for the lightweight design. I take mine on and off and up to my head all day long. So far, so good. What I don't like at all (so minus one star)-- The silver piece with screws that holds the nose piece in is too visible for my personal taste. Screws are necessary but these are very obvious, more pronounced than my other glasses. There are four of these screws in one piece of metal--two that connect the nose bridge and two that connect the nose pads. These super shiny silver screws give my face and the glasses a somewhat sci-fi effect I am NOT fond of. A friend told me they looked as if they were screwed into my face. I'm going to agree with her. There is too much blingy metal going on in the nose bridge area. They are necessary to hold the nose piece on, but this piece is overlay large and gleaming. I dare say it almost appears like metal piercings, which aren't my style. While still in my trial phase, I managed to conceal two of the outward-facing nose pad screws screws by using a tiny piece of flesh-colored band-aid, which has worked well. The band aid pieces have been holding on, I simply don't like that I have to do it to love these glasses. Before I thought of the band-aids, this screwy, sparkling nosepiece was a no-go for me. To conclude, there are many positives to these glasses but I am still on the fence about keeping mine. The shiny screws may not be an issue for some people. If so, the band-aids work, and I like everything else about them.

I recently had cataract surgery and now need reading glasses for looking at anything close to me. I've bought many pairs in many strengths and many brands. Of the Visualites, I bought the ones that are a clear color all around, and I love them. Not only do they blend right into my face, but they are so lightweight that I can't even feel them so I can wear them for hours painlessly. I also like the fact that the lenses are narrower (from side to side) than all of the other readers I've purchased. They fit my face better and the bows don't push my ears out like all of my other readers do. So comfy and I see great out of them. I have read other reviews that complain these are too delicate and break easily. I agree with those who suggest if you are hard on glasses, get some sturdier ones. These are delicate, and I will take care of them so they won't break, and will likely put a drop of Locktite in the screws so they won't come out. If they do break, I'll just buy another pair. What do you expect for $20! For me, I can't beat the price nor the comfort for what I'm getting.

First let me say I love the design of these glasses. They're stylish, incredibly lightweight, and almost feel like I'm not even wearing them when they're on. I get a lot of compliments on them, for sure. I can wear them for hours and hours and my ears and bridge of my nose don't hurt. With that being said, I find a couple of drawbacks as well. 1) The case they come with is way too tight. Sliding the glasses into and out of the case I feel is going to end up scratching the lenses over time, the fit is truly that tight. 2) The construction of the glasses is almost TOO lightweight - mine sit a bit crooked on my face, and you can't really make any adjustments to make them sit straight except for the nose pads. Since the arms are completely flexible, no adjustments can be made there. Frustrating. 3) I am not someone who needs 1.0 magnification yet, but this is the lowest diopter available in this brand and style. I would much rather have had these in 0.25 or 0.5 even, as the 1.0 is so strong that I cannot sit and read a document that I am working on and look up at the computer screen and see both clearly. The document is clear, since it's closer, but the computer screen is blurry looking through the lenses, so I'm constantly raising and lowering my head. After awhile this causes my neck to ache, so they aren't real practical for use in my office, which is why I purchased them in the first place. Overall, if just the lower diopter issue were resolved, I would purchase these reading glasses again without a moment's hesitation, despite the premium price - they're worth it, if you can make full use of them. Sadly, I am not going to be able to fully utilize them for the purpose they were purchased for.

Over the last few years I have bought six of these and the next time I leave a pair on the bed and then roll over them whilst fast asleep I shall purchase more. Of the six, I still have four. These are simply great. They are virtually indestructible when subject to normal wear and tear but clearly can't hold up under the weight of a 200 pound body. That's OK. I wasn't expecting them to do that. I have 2x1.50 magnification for reading and 2x1.75 that I use for shooting video and other close work, and they are well suited to my applications. Nearly weightless, they gently hug your head making them easy to wear for hours on end. The (what I think are) polycarbonate lenses can scratch but won't if you're careful and don't try to clean them with a tissue or paper towel because they are made of wood, after all. The case is a piece of simple brilliance. While I thought that the bendy plastic would rub on the lenses, they don't. the cheaters are held in there resting against the nose piece on one side and the arms on the other. Nicely done. The only complaint I could come up with is that one years-old lost its grip on one of the nose pads which appear to be crimped in place so that they can float. Without a proper crimping tool, I'll probably glue it back in place. With a variety of lens shapes, strengths and frame styles there is likely a pair that will be good for you.

I purchased this instead of the Optx 20/20 Ecoclear Bio-Readers that I've been purchasing for years because of two reasons: 1. They are 1.75x magnification and I can't find this level in a style/color in the Optx 20/20 Ecoclear Bio-Readers. 2. They cost less than the Optx 20/20 Ecoclear Bio-Readers. They are virtually identical in terms of the style and design and they seem to be of equally good quality - very clear lenses and very lightweight. One of the issues I've always had with the Optx 20/20 Ecoclear Bio-Readers is their durability - the screws tend to loosen over time and, more critically, the frames break easily. I don't expect that these Visualites will be any more durable but time will tell and, even if they're not, they are still more affordable. As long as they continue to work as well, cost less.and last as long as the Optx 20/20 Ecoclear Bio-Readers, I'll be buying these Visualites instead for the foreseeable future.

These are by far the best reading glasses I ever owned, especially for the price with prime shipping included. Light, flexible, nice looking. Only complaint is the first two pairs both had the screws come loose and started to fall apart. Normally I would just toss them, but I like these so much I put a few drops of super glue on the screws and that seems to have solved the loose screw problem. I just got a new pair, first thing I did was glue the screws. Not sure if I had to, but did it anyway. Other than that these glasses are so comfortable flexible with very clear lens that seem to stay scratch free longer than most.
