Review on πŸ‘“ Eyekepper Stainless Steel Half-Eye Style Reading Glasses - 3-Pack, +2.0 Readers by Liz West

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad at $3.33 each.

easy to carry in your shirt pocket for a short time. They are not of the same quality as their stainless steel flex arm reading sunglasses which I really like. But you can get a similar model without sunglasses for $14. For those of you who have lost the rubber guide in parts I would suggest replacing it by going to an auto parts store and buying a length of small diameter rubber vacuum hose, cutting a short length to fit and attaching it to the frame post with some superglue use on toothpicks or rubber wire insulation that peels off the wire, which comes in many sizes. This should solve the problem until you lose them or step on them. But one thing in favor of these frames, and the others they sell, is that they don't use spring-loaded folding sides, which are easy to break, even on expensive frames. My wife's expensive designer frames from Lens Crafters broke after just a year and they said they couldn't fix spring loaded frames. Cheap, although I like them, Foster Grant frames break the same way, but their lenses can be replaced inexpensively. I think these 3 are for $10. Readers with stainless steel sides that simply attach with screws last much longer than spring-loaded readers and can be easily repaired by replacing the screw. This company's products, although inexpensive, are lightweight and well-designed. I would love to see more of them and hope Revain will continue to offer magnifying and oversized sunglasses to their readers. I replaced all rubber parts with the smallest car vacuum hose, cut them to size and glued them with superglue. The goggles fit and stay in place. This is a permanent fix that makes these points a lot more useful. What I don't like are the sharp ends and edges.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far, so good
