Review on Lightweight Compact Reader Glasses w/Pen Clip Tube Case by SOOLALA by Liana Allen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lenses are extremely cheap and inaccurate around the edges.

Spend $3 more a pair and get Able Vision. They (probably) invented these things and they are better. Both Able Vision and Soolala are identical in every respect but one. The pocket clip breaks easily, the cases dent easily (although they protect), I have over ten pairs of these in different stores and colors and I have a hard time putting the glasses back into a cheap case. That being said, I love these reading glasses in a tube because they're clear, wearable, and yes, they're very durable if you babysit them! However, I will never buy this brand of Soolala again because the difference between Soolala and Able Vision is that Soolala has horrible lenses (which I think is the most important feature in reading glasses, haha). Looking through the left or right side of these cheap glasses is COMPLETELY blurry and useless. Able Vision (I've checked all my many pairs) doesn't have this blur problem. The Soolala gives you a very small field of view, which probably matches the advertised magnification, but who cares, they're awkward to use as everything has to be right in front of them to see anything. This product is a mistake.

Pros
  • Arch: 135mm
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
