The glasses are super lightweight (almost scary lightweight!) and thin. It’s nice to know it comes with a lifetime warranty in the instance something happens to them. I love that it comes with a hard case, since most I feel like are soft unless you purchase a separate case. It comes with an adhesive strip to adhere to the back of your phone which is SO slick. Anyone who has readers knows that’s the constant problem (finding where I set them down!) From a vision perspective they work as expected and are clear.

My husband loves these readers! He doesn’t feel like an old man wearing them. They are just cooler and professional for when he’s working.

Remarkably Comfortable and Convenient

Having found this company's original "nose pinching" design to be uncomfortable after a few minutes of use, I was apprehensive about ordering these. These, however, fit and work like traditional glasses, and are therefore very comfortable to wear. They look like they have normal "frames" around the lenses, but these appear to be cosmetic. They fold up and store in a very thin aluminum case that I attached to my phone case, where they take up little room. I have a larger iPhone, so they fit fine - I'm not sure how they would fit on a smaller phone. The fact that what appears to be a normal pair of reading glasses can effectively disappear into such a thin case is pretty amazing and can quickly become a conversation starter.
The glasses work well for reading, and do not appear to have any optical distortion (or at least none that I noticed). They are more expensive than typical "drug store" reading glasses, but worth it because they are always handy when you need them.
My only concern about them is that the right hand folding "arm" somehow became bent a bit at the hinge. Not sure how that happened, but I carefully bent them back and all seems to be well now. I do worry that they are more delicate than normal glasses, but time will tell.
At any rate, I would recommend these to anyone looking for reading glasses that can always be found, assuming your cell phone is always within reach. A very innovative and useful product.

Very light, not too sturdy

The good - these readers are very light. Arms don't hurt ears. Good, clear magnification for most of the lens. Very thin when arms are folded.
The bad - there is a little blurring when looking through the edges. They aren't very sturdy, so handle with care.
The worst - the glasses are so flat (to fit in a case that can attach to your phone) that ANYTHING behind you that can be reflected, will be reflected on the outer edge of each lens. (About a third of the lens will reflect what's behind you.)
Conclusion - Wish I could return these readers, but they were a gift.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good for night reading in bed

I read a lot on my phone and kindle, and tend to do so in bed while laying on my side - hard to do with regular glasses frames. With these, the wire frames are light and durable enough that I can do so without ending up with a headache or a pair of broken glasses.
They WERE a bit pricy for what they are, though.

Lightweight Reading Glasses to Take Everywhere!

I have owned several pairs of reading glasses and these have to be the most light weight glasses I've ever experienced. Quality is great. The glasses snap right into the case and that easily fits in even the smallest of my handbags. It might take me time to get used to them being so lightweight... but I like that I can throw the glass case into my purse or tote bag and not worry that the glasses will get smashed. The case is very sturdy and protects them well. The quality of the lenses seems strong considering how light they are. The style is timeless and classic.

First, these are not glasses to use everyday, for long periods of time. I purchased these for a specific need, when I am away from house and need something quick and simple: when I'm at a restaurant and need to read a menu; at a friend's house, and asked to read something with them; at the grocery store, looking at food labels... The packaging is so slim, it fits in wallet, adding very little bulk. I can comfortably wear them for a shopping trip. They are stylish enough that I don't feel awkward pulling them out at a nice restaurant. They work as intended and I avoid the frustration of trying to read small text in harsh lighting conditions. I don't leave home without them!

Very compact - fairly comfortable and half the price compared to on-line. I have two pair - one in my tool case and one on the back of my phone ... just real convenient.

I like it for its lightweight as said by the product description. It’s not making any marks on my nose as I keep it for long hours due to my work.

I bought these as a backup glasses. They are amazingly thin and very lightweight while still not fragile. The case is also very thin and made of metal covered with plastic, which is slim enough to be used as a bookmark.
The only aspect I wish was better is "price", as these glasses are pricier than what you may find out online, which is partially justified by the quality of the material and case used.

These are by far the thinnest and lightweight set of readers I’ve ever had. They tweren’t lyin’! They come in a thin case to match it’s thin physique. If they were human, they would be considered dangerously thin. They’re that thin.

These were a random find in the check-out line; glad I found them! Really light and comfortable on your face. They fold down almost completely flat to fit into the hard protection case, so they take up almost no room sitting on a desk, side table, etc. while in the case.
