Review on Clear Bi-Focal Flexie Reading Glasses - Calabria 720CB by Steven Ripley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable fit but short lenses mean little magnification range

These are the most comfortable glasses I have ever worn, including Maui Jim sunglasses, cheap readers or prescription bifocals. I also like how they look on me, but that's just personal preference. The size of the lens keeps me from giving it 5 stars. First off, this is a short lens and the magnified portion seems smaller/shorter than other bifocals I've tried. As a result, I feel like I'm looking straight through the top line of a bifocal lens, and I have to constantly adjust the angle of my head to keep the right subject at the bottom of the magnified range. They work very well when I'm sitting with something on my lap. It's more of a routine where I stand and hold something in front of me. I will let them work where their strength is most needed, since my work requires me to sit on a chair and read what's on my desk or on my lap. I have another kitchen pair where I stand and read recipes or food labels. Overall, I like these glasses and recommend them for the situational use mentioned above.

Pros
