ThinOptics Brooklyn Reading Glasses 2.50 Rectangular Red Frames With Milano Magnetic Case - Thin Lightweight Compact Readers 2.50 Strength

Like most people I have reached the age when I had trouble reading menus or even reading my emails on my mobile or laptop. I went through several cheap reading classes and they broke or were too heavy to take around. Then I came across the ThinOptics producs which were recommended by an American friend and I have not gone to other reading glasses since. These are very light indeed. And very thin.Being made of plastic they do break after a while, especially in the way that I punish them by sitting on them inadvertently. The only concern has been the price which on the ThinOptics Web site adds to international shipping and I thought it came too expensive.But purchasing them through Amazon this is a much better deal - even though not "cheap", it is much more in line with the price I am ready to pay for a product that is so useful and convenient. What I like most is how light they are, so I can carry it everywhere and it does not weigh in on my nose.

Very convenient to carry and durable - good product

Very thin and light weight, great if you need your readers with you and don't want to carry a bully spectacle case.They do seem very flimsy but that's because they are so thin and flat.The case is so thin it's hardly noticeable in a coat pocket.They are very comfortable to wear as they are so light.Viewable area is really in the centre of the lenses as the edges are distorted, I guess this is because the plastic lenses are so thin.Overall, I'm very happy with these.

Got these in red. Had looked at the images, but it wasn't until they arrived today, that I was able to fully appreciate the thinness of these specs for myself. And in the case, they are actually less than 5mm thick. Be sure to look at all of the product images carefully. They really are as shown.I have a small face and generally find only certain opticians brands fit. But these seem to fit me fine, not too big & super lightweight.Worth mentioning that they don't have a normal style bridge, so don't have either pads on wire or thickened plastic pads, but they still seem comfy. They even seem to sit straight on my wonky ears. And I have not experienced any vision issues with the lenses, they seem to work fine in 1.5.The only thing I wish they didn't have is the blue light block, as this gives the lenses a slight yellow tint, that seems to exaggerate my under-eye bags! Also a bit pricey.

Love these specs, they fit unobtrusively in my pocket and are great quality.

Very tidy glasses to carry in your pocket for reading menus etc. good strong design.

I can't believe the glasses fit into such a slim case - neither can anyone who sees them going away into it!They are perfect to carry around in my pocket all day every day - the case closes securely so it's never opened itself, and that means the odd time I'm out - shops / cafe / restaurant - and need my reading glasses, they are right there - no more squinting because I didn't want to carry a traditional, bulky, glasses case around.

The media could not be loaded. I liked the thinness, the fact that it's lightweight and very functional, you can just slip into a top pocket and it doesn't bulge through your shirt.Very discreet.Nice build quality too.
