EYEGUARDReaders Metal Deluxe Rectangular Reading Glasses for Men 1.50

I bought these 8 months ago and have been using them daily for a lot of that time. The glasses are durable and comfortable. They look good. The case is sturdy. The lenses are clear. If needed, I would buy these again, no hesitation.

I have ordered the +2.75 reading glasses with metal frame, brand new. Instead I have received the reading glasses with plastic frame, +3.00 marking on the box and +2.5 marking on the frame. Besides this, the glasses looked used and came in a damaged manufacturer's box. I immediately returned these glasses and ordered another pair which arrived in a couple of days. This time it was the right one though some details still look different from what's shown on the picture. But since the quality looks good and the fit is comfortable, I give them four stars.

I was advised that for computer use I should get glasses at about half the strength used for regular reading. Following that advice, I found these glasses worked perfectly. I like the design, and the temples (side bars) are hefty enough to resist bending while still looking fashionable. Since I keep them by my computer and don't need to tote them around, I'm confident they'll last a long time.Note these are not blue-light reducing. If you're looking to reduce blue-light eye strain, don't get these. In my case, I'm a photographer. I need to see the natural colors of my photos when working on them, I didn't want glasses that skew the color balance.UPDATE 7/21/2023These glasses have held up perfectly. They stay on my computer desk, since that's where I use them. I like them so much, I just ordered a second pair, so I have a backup in case these get sat on, chewed by the dog, stolen by burglars, etc. 😁

comfortable, durable, and a good choice

I ordered the +1.50 version and quickly sent a message to request the seller change the power to +1.25 - which they did.The shipping took a long time since the powers not listed as Prime are shipped from China.The frames are better built than 40 dollar frames I got at Walmart. Excellent construction with springs that let the temple arms flex outward.The lenses are a bit thick but there is minimal edge distortion and they are perfectly clear. I don't know how scratch resistant they are so that's something I may comment on after I've had them a few months.I totally recommend these for all the reasons above plus they are very good looking in an understated way.I used an engraver to engrave the power on the front of the frame above the nose pieces. I have multiple powers of these and the power is not indicated other than on a small adhesive sticker that is peeled off prior to use.

The lenses got scratched in two weeks. I have no idea how because I leave them on my desk. I guess it happened when I cleaned them. They are very comfortable, especially if you have an enormous head like myself, 😂.

Look great, feel good but they seem fragile. I handle them with care because it doesn't look like it will take much to break them if they were dropped. If you happen to fall asleep while you're reading and you tilt your head in your sleep they're likely to break easily.
