Review on 👓 Vintage Style Reading Glasses by Eyekepper by Diana Johnson

So a few caveats, these are my very first pair of reading glasses. Hello "Short Arm Syndrome". For the +.5 recipe, the options are very, very limited. I went with them instead of buying to order because of the cost. They are inexpensive. Not a cheap $15 5-pack level, but won't break the bank. Criticism of its quality is that it is not a high-end product. Initially, I was quite satisfied with it because I could finally see small print better than I could with the naked eye. ! Hooray! But some of the problems I had from the start were blemishes and blemishes that just can't be removed. I learned how to clean glasses from long-time glasses wearers, and I am new to it, but also with the technique of using dish soap and water in the sink to remove grease, wipe with a soft cloth, post-treatment. using alcohol and cleaning with a microfiber cloth just doesn't get the lenses clean. Forget using pre-moistened wipes or wiping with a t-shirt (does that really work for some people?). So is that a problem with cheap plastic lenses (and they are)? Or is it the age-old eyeglass problem that everyone faces? As a beginner I can't say for sure but as some goggles are said to be "smudge proof" I tend to think this can vary from pair to pair and that they are particularly prone to smudging. They have also suffered many scratches over time. So I'll throw away the ones I bought, about six pairs, when I switch to a stronger recipe. Or maybe go through the Freecycle with the caveat that they're scratched and dirty. I'm not sure if the eye fatigue I'm experiencing is simply due to the need for stronger prescription lenses now that I'm a few years older, or crappy lenses. Probably a combination. However, the main issue is comfort. I realized that the chronic headaches I was having were probably related to wearing glasses as well. They are hard and unyielding on the bridge of the nose and put a lot of pressure on the area above the ears. Since I've been using them for a while, this problem has become more and more severe over time. So much so, that I've been writing with the book farther from my eyes, without glasses, rather than at the usual preferred distance with glasses. Because my nose hurts and I'm pretty sick of chronic headaches. Now when I level up a recipe (sorry it's not a fun way to level up like in video games) I enter an area with more choices, which I'm very happy about. And now I have information on what I'm looking for in a new pair of glasses, so I find it helpful. I'd like more flexibility at the pivot point, better cushioning at the bridge of the nose, and maybe something that fits larger heads. I may end up buying a custom made and fitted pair, but for now I'm trying out another set from Revain. Needless to say I won't be buying these Eyekeppers in +1.0. Try another brand that accepts returns if the fit doesn't fit. And hoping for better quality lenses that are less scratched and smudged. crossed fingers I wouldn't mind if they were the exact same style as these. They're not fancy, but I think they're cute, vintage, kind of boring vintage glasses. Especially if you are new to eyewear, I hope this little story of my own introduction to them is helpful.
