Review on πŸ” Compact Clip-on Flip-up Magnifying Reading Glasses +1.50 Diopter by Kim Gilbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent reading glasses, shipping to Canada

I have problems with varifocals and bifocals when working on the computer during the day due to the distance to the monitors. As a result, I wear contact lenses and reading glasses, which is a mediocre compromise. I had a few Daiso clips before discovering and buying them. The Daiso clips allowed me to wear them over my varifocals and had no problem seeing my computer screens. They're great, but the lenses are about the size of 80's aviator sunglasses and they looked silly when worn over my small glasses because a few inches of the lens would be visible over the lenses of my current glasses. Pooh. They are very sweet. Unlike my pair of Daisos, they came with soft cases for protection. Nice gesture. Another difference between them and my Daiso is that the metal parts are painted gold instead of black (could be an issue if that's what you're into - I don't care) and the inside of the prongs weren't wide enough to match mine Glasses. This was easily fixed by bending them slightly with pliers. These lenses are not much larger than the lenses in my current glasses. at least as good as any of my other reading glasses. They are also about the same compared to the Daiso, which I think has good optics. After all, I live in Canada, so shipping stuff from Revain.com can be a crappy hunt due to exorbitant fees from companies like UPS and FedEx. They were shipped to USPS by VS Eyewear Inc. so no brokerage fees. Shipping to Canada was expensive at $10.95, but if you're buying two glasses like me, they'll be easier to swallow, especially since I couldn't find a comparable Canadian supplier for these glasses.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
