Review on πŸ” Enhanced Vision with Small Clear Clip-on Flip-up Magnifying Reading Glasses +3.00 Diopter by Dana Lynn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works with my high prescription

I bought strength 3.00. They are very well made and crystal clear. The "sweet spot" where the border is enlarged is wide enough to read my iPad mini from edge to edge. The lens is slightly larger than most over-the-counter reading glasses and is considered wide. They are heavy, the higher the magnification the thicker the lens unless high refractive index plastic is used which would be very expensive. They work best with glasses that clip behind the ear or are otherwise held firmly in place, otherwise the weight of the clips will pull the glasses forward. The higher power also reduces the depth of field to around 12 inches, which is fine for reading on an iPad, but the computer is fuzzy. My prescription is very high (10x) and I need to use a smaller lens and high refractive index plastic to keep the weight of my glasses acceptable. It also effectively doubles the cost of the lens. I had "reading glasses" made with just the bottom of my bifocals and added these clips. I gave up paperbacks and most printed books and bought an iPad because I could enlarge the writing. But not every website responds to Zoom, so I decided to try these out. I am very happy with them because of the build quality and performance. can even read printed things more comfortably 4 stars because they are heavy, i will keep them on my reading glasses forever and won't carry them around anymore.
