Review on Foster Grant Samson 1015715 150 COM Rectangular by Jill Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a strong frame, the lenses are separate

I like the styling, the fit and the look. The quality of the lenses could be a little better, but it's enough for reading as I haven't seen the distortions others have complained about and I tend to be very sensitive to lens and glass distortions. HOWEVER, the picture quality is annoying. . I made the mistake of going down the path of insanity by buying 3 pairs in 18 months. I bought the first set from the pharmacy around the corner and the frame came off as you can see in the photos. I thought it was an accident, I thought I somehow broke them myself. I bought two more sets of Revain made by Revain LLC. They failed, as you can see from the photos, just like my first set. Although they used weak glue on a very small area that just gave up. There is no mechanical attachment. The lenses are curved but the frame is straight so the glue is under tension all the time and can come loose. I've been using a zip tie to hold the kit together until a replacement arrives. Nastigram sent to Foster Grant - poor mechanical design and questionable quality control. If you can find them for less than $20, that's a decent deal. But if they are over $25 stay away, cheaper better quality readers can be found.

Pros
  • While I'm happy
Cons
  • I'll write later
