ThinOptics Reading Glasses

These glasses are very thin and don't take up space. I can easily slide them into my pocket, I love the fact they don't hug the nose and they said nicely on the face without discomfort, perfect for reading.

Before I found these, I used to try Foster Grant and other similar reading glasses from the drugstore. What I hated about them is how big they were AND how cloudy the lenses appeared to me. Not so with these babies: I have 4 pairs of ThinOptics Connect readers in different colors just so I can be choosy what pair I grab every day. I wear them with my contacts - never had a problem. They are crystal clear to see through, fit fine (and on a smaller face with narrow temples), and to date (knock on wood) pretty durable (no scratches). They're super lightweight and half the time I don't even know I have them on. The only pair of glasses they compare to in comfort are my rimless prescription progressives. They fit easily in my purse, and I have a pair stashed in my long leather wallet just in case. Buy'em - you won't regret it!

This is my second pair of ThinOptics glasses. These are very light and compact and the lens quality is excellent. I'm very happy with them and my wife has asked me to buy her a pair.A couple of things to note:1) ThinOptics markets these as being able to be attached to the back of your smartphone. In reality, this isn't practical because the case is so big that it either exceeds the size of the smartphone or covers up the camera. These are really pocket or purse glasses.2) The case is attractive and protects the glasses well. However, the case is a bit tricky to open because of the strong magnetic snap that keeps the case closed. I find myself fumbling around with it to get it open. As a result, they are not "fast" glasses that you can pop on your nose quickly.3) While not uncomfortable, I would not use these these glasses for long periods as they are not the most comfortable reading glasses I have. They are great for shorter use periods.

Light, Compact,......but $50 ??

These glasses are very thin and light, and sparkling clear. They are very comfortable. They stay in place on your face without clamping your head, likely because they're so light.That said, because they are so light they are also flexible. Somehow they manage to be flexible without feeling flimsy.I found the hinges on the temples quite stiff, but exercising them a few times loosened them up a bit.The lenses are sparkling clear. The embossed lettering in the outside corners is occasionally distracting, because it makes a couple of tiny little blurry spots, but it isn't bothersome.Foster Grant Fold-Flats are more robustly built, but they're also quite a bit heavier, and grip your head with more pressure. In a rough environment Fold-Flats would probably be longer lasting, but ThinOptics will be more comfortable.

The glasses are great, but the cases fall apart. The hinge pins fall out. Save your money. I contacted customer service and they said the 6-month warranty is what it is. I have 4 pair…the case has fallen apart on every one. Customer service didn’t do anything for me.

Returning because there is way too much glare on the back of the lens. I can see behind me!!Otherwise, I really like the size, color, flatness, and packaging.

These ultra thin, lightweight glasses are better than contacts. They act like a full size pair of glasses without all the extra room a regular glasses would require and they look great. I did not like the "Granny" looking glasses I used before. My girlfriend said I look very smart and studious in the black frames. Well worth there money. I attach them to the back of my iPhone and the low profile works great! You may need a deeper phone mount however. for your car.
