Review on Magna-flip Clip on Flip up Magnifiers, +2.00 Power: Transform Your Distance Glasses into Reading and Computer Glasses! by Gillian Francis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great as long as the springs last

I bought these lenses in January 2018. It's August 2018 and I need to replace them. So I got about 7 months of HEAVY usage for just $13 - not bad at all, but not great either. The glasses are scratch-resistant. Quite light in weight. convenient to use. I often turn them up and down—down for reading, up for talking and other activities. The spring that holds the lens up still works perfectly. The spring that holds the lens in place when folded down to fit my reading glasses snugly - that spring has lost some of its strength. As a result, when I tilt my head to read or work nearby, the lenses on my glasses only "hang" by about a quarter of an inch or so. It's a little annoying, but sometimes spoils my concentration. So I just bought a pair of replacement lenses. The lenses themselves are great. Foldable lenses are a good idea for people who, like me, often switch between work and other activities. With lighter use, these lenses are sure to last longer. Despite this. 7 months of heavy use for less than $13 - I can live with that. Aloha to everyone from Hawaii.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
