Review on 👓 Round Spring Hinge Gamma Ray Reading Glasses - Set of 4 Pairs for Men and Women by Lori Fleurosier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great prescription readers - put a dab of glue on the screws.

I only bought these readers because the nearest store stopped selling $1 readers - the dollar specs were crappy quality but given I always sit on dirty surfaces , climb on it or wear glasses, lens down , they were sufficient. These glasses are much better, standard correction quality - not high design quality, but good and relatively stylish. I would like to wear them to a business meeting. The only complaint I noticed from those who didn't rate it well (sizing issues aside) was that the screws tended to fall out. So right out of the box I used a wooden toothpick to put a dab of glue on the tops of the screws. Any permanent glue will work except Crazy Glue (they melt acrylic). Duco Cement is super cheap, super strong and doesn't smoke like the e6000. Don't worry about the hinges getting stuck - the screws attach the hinges but are not part of the hinges. FYI, they measure 5" and 5/8" temple to temple (can be a bit larger - I didn't use a soft tape measure). I've read that 5 3/4 inches is the average. My head is a little bigger but they are still very comfortable. I wouldn't recommend them for a much larger head - the hinges aren't very "springy". I would definitely buy them again.

Pros
  • Light plastic frame
Cons
  • Can't remember
