James Multifocus Reading Glasses

They are great and comfortable, I love the multifocus as I don't need to put them on and off all the time

These are the best multifocal glasses I have tried. They are even better than my prescription ones. They are quite study, you don't have to be delicate with them. The usable area of the lens is very good compared to others I have tried. There is plenty of area for computer distance viewing and for up close reading. I like to keep my large computer screen slightly more then arms distance away and these glasses work great for that distance. This also make them great for restaurants since the reading part is good for menus and the computer part is good for seeing the person across from you.

These are my first multi focus or progressive lens reading glasses. It took about half a day to get used to tilting my head so that I was looking through the correct magnification portion of the lense to see what I was looking at clearly. One thing that is disappointing is that the magnification does not seem to extend to the edges of the lens, so if you look at a computer monitor for instance using peripheral vision, it is blurry. Once you square up and look straight at it, you now get the magnification and it is clear. All my other readers have the magnification all the way across the lens. These Foster Grant readers are not as sturdy as some that I have purchased, the frames feel like they may not last very long. The hinges do not have much “give” so they feel tight after an hour or so of wearing. Some readers with spring hinges are more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Over all I may try multifocal readers from another brand and see if I like those better. These could be much improved if they had spring hinges with some five, a sturdier construction, and most importantly extend the magnification out to the edges of the lens.

As far as correcting vision goes, these are great. The progressive lenses give you three levels of power, which--for a near-sighted person--means I can use them to read or work on a computer and chat with someone across a table but don't have to take them off to drive. Thus, they're much more convenient than typical readers. And, compared to the price of "real" glasses, they're quite bargain. However, you do get what you pay for in terms of longevity. I've had several pair of these. And I like the Foster Grant ones because they look professional. But they will tend to die in one of two ways: 1) the lower portion of the glasses below the lens will crack, or 2) the black will start to fake off. I wore them into a salt-water pool once, and that seemed to really exacerbate the problem. This flaking is aesthetic and can take a while to be noticeable, as it starts with the arms where they contact the ears and works forward. But the first problem is a real issue, as the lens will eventually fall out. Thus, while I like these, they're disposable. I budget 2-3 pair of them per year. That's a hassle, but it's far less than I'd pay for a decent set of legit glasses. So, I'm happy to pay it.

I don't normally provide a review but I love these Foster Grant glasses. I am on the computer for long periods during the day and they helped to provide less strain on my eyes. Because they have three strengths in one, it allowed me to interact with others, read what was on the computer screen, and read items in small print as needed. The quality is fabulous.

The seller on Amazon has been out of stock for the magnification that I use so I had to order a 2nd pair directly from the company but that was absolutely worth it. These are stylish and work fantastically. I might pick up a few more when they come back in stock on here at the magnification I use.

All around great glasses & lenses with style for reading glasses; fantastic price so I bought 3 pairs.....however I can’t recommend these readers because they are way too delicate; each one broke within 30 days of purchase; all of the breaks occurred in different spots. Even though they’re cheaply priced I didn’t expect them to be so cheaply made. Don’t waste your money.

I absolutely love these glasses. They're the only ones I've found that you can wear without taking them off to view things at a distance and everything not be blurry but yet they make what you need to see close up bigger and clearer. I never had to wear any type of glasses until I got Multiple Sclerosis years ago and I've been searching for the right pair. They're a little pricey but well worth it. Thank you Foster Grant awesome job!!!

Excellent product.

Great pair of glasses initially, but stress crack on nose piece twice now
