Foster GrantMcKay Multifocus Reading Glasses Round

Me gusta que sean ligeros. Super cómodos. Los uso hasta para conducir de noche.

I was hoping these would solve the dreaded trifocals issue but... alas.First, the case: it’s difficult to slide the glasses into. The amount of pressure required to overcome the resistance will likely cause eventual damage to the frames.Next, the lenses: the section for close up reading is not the same magnification as others I’ve purchased from various sources (amazon, grocery store pharmacy, etc). While it’s advertised as a specific magnification, it is not equivalent to other various manufacturer’s magnification listed as the exact same. Additionally, I really have to stress my eyes downward to the very bottom edge of the lenses in order to read, which is tiring at the least, painful at the worst.The middle distance is great. Reading my laptop is wonderful with these. Unfortunately, I still have to swap glasses to go between laptop and phone because the cheaters (bottom of lenses for close up reading) portion of these lenses suck.Distance: seeing the tv on the wall is just fine.Angled vs straight viewing: if you’re not looking straight arrow ahead at the subject of interest, you’re screwed. Even a slight glance / angle away from straight ahead and everything blurs.They are lightweight so... 1 Star?

Let me start by saying that I really like the style of these readers. I've received a lot of compliments on them, so there's that. I also really like the variability in power from the 'close up' part of the lens to the 'screen' part of the lens. It definitely makes it easier to work off papers on my desk and on my screen at the same time.The trouble comes with the 'interaction' part of the lens. If I have the glasses pushed all of the way up, my vision is good maybe inside of 8 feet. Beyond that, things are blurry, so I have to push the glasses down my nose if I want to see clearly.I wear contact lenses and I see fine for distance vision.Since the whole object of the varying power is to prevent that, it lessens their value. And these are NOT cheap readers. I'll keep them and use them, but I'm just frustrated that they don't perform as advertised.

I suspect that these are counterfeit. They are not in the packaging that Foster Grant uses.

Update to my review. I did love these despite the fact that they seemed fragile. They are fragile and are now broken. So sad. Would love another pair but I won’t get another because they won’t last long.these are great. I love the look and are nice for shopping when I would have to put my readers on and take them off. they do feel a bit delicate so I'm careful with them. I'd get a hard case to go with them if you will be keeping them in a purse.
