Warning for those with plastic lenses

Bought for use on a computer to get a better view of the screen up close. They do an excellent job of that. I've had them for a year or so. BUT, if you have plastic lenses, be careful. The support system clamps the lenses between plastic spacers on one side and plastic anthers on wire legs on the other. Over time, these contact points pick up dust or dirt, leaving small, permanent marks on the lenses. I suppose you can always keep the pinch points very clean, but that's too much hassle for me. I was able to bend the plastic supports inwards with a little help from a small flame and needle nose pliers and also bend the wire supports inwards. Now they clamp the frame/tip instead of the lenses. However, they sit higher than intended and are not centered, as well as being too thin for anything but home use. However, they work and I haven't seen anything that doesn't look like it will snap onto the lenses themselves. So I'm happy.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Obsolete model
