Review on Foster Grant Sawyer Multifocus Glasses Vision Care by Javon Kulik

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Right, if not perfect.

Almost perfect. It's getting harder and harder for me to read anything and lately I've been having trouble seeing what's printed on a computer screen. Having just returned to work after a few years of retirement, I find it difficult to work on the computer with my prescription bifocals on. My distance vision has improved to almost perfect, so I no longer need glasses to drive. I'm blind as a bat to close work. Presbyopia - or literally old eyes. These glasses are a great help. I didn't know which power to order, so I went with the middle one at 1.75, hoping that the top third of the lens would have close to zero magnification. At 1.75x magnification, I can comfortably read very small type on a 16- to 20-inch printed page and very small type on an 18- to 28-inch computer screen. The combination is ideal for entering data from a printed page into a computer spreadsheet, which was a big problem. The top third of the lens allows me to see the person across from me at the table without needing glasses. Unfortunately, the rest of the office is blurry. I can see over my glasses but I feel like I shouldn't. I can't use them to drive or see far away. I would have preferred the top third to be a zero magnification windowed lens, but that style of goggle doesn't seem to be available with that option. These aren't the most comfortable frames - they're a bit tight for me and the style just suits my face. It would be very difficult to choose the perfect and optimally fitting glasses when buying online. However, I am not dissatisfied. The quality of the frames means they are built to last. Found a solution for uncomfortable nose pads at Revain. These silicone cases solve the problem for a small price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014CAUYZY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
