Reading Glasses

DottieBlue — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 22:13:00 GMT

For those of you looking for reading glasses, I just discovered a wonderful place:

readers dot com

They even have computer glasses with no magnification, for those who don't need magnification but want the eye protection.

The Q used to offer a wonderful selection, sets of 5 or 6 pair for an extemely reasonable price. I'm glad I got the set of 2 glasses with progressive bifocal lenses, i.e., no lines and work exactly like expensive prescription lenses, before the Q quit selling them. This is the one type that readers dot com does not offer, tho.

Just FYI.

There are a lot of places that offers reading glasses.

I have bought them from QVC and HSN. You know, the one's where you get 8 or 10.

Some have included the one's like the OP mentioned. I also have some I've ordered from HSN and QVC that are tinted.

They are excellent quality. I asked my eye Dr if they'd be OK for my eyes. I took a pair to her. She looked at them and said she thought they'd be fine to use.

I get them from the dollar store. They're perfectly fine for what I use them for.

Thanks, @DottieBlue - that's a great site. Huge selection. I have fun with stuff like that. I spotted a few sale items, too.

They offer many options as to style and portability. To me, if you need them for your work everyday it is worth it to have ones you enjoy wearing and maybe coordinate with the outfit of the day.

I spent years working outside and I have quite the sunglasses selection. Makes the day more enjoyable. And sometimes those little quality things really make a difference.

@FrostyBabe1 Dollar store for me too. None of them are really good for me because I need different magnification for each eye but in a pinch I can get by with them Otherwise I just wear my prescription lenses

In the past I ordered soft-sided, flexible arms glasses from Optix.com. I ordered quite a few to tide me over so I didn’t order anything this December.

Very comfortable, feather-weight, and reasonably priced.

Thx I could use those computer glasses. I don't wear glasses & have not found the need for readers yet.

I order from them all the time. I get free shipping and coupon codes from them.

I just placed an order this morning for 2 more pairs. Lol

I used to get bifocal readers , so that you can avoid taking them off and on all the time , and they can't be found in stores , although Amazon has a good selection.

Thank you for the information!

My eye dr that i just saw a few weeks ago for exam told me that non prescription readers are ok but to never buy cheap ones at the dollar store. He said to buy at least mid price.

I've never ordered from that site.

I'm probably in the minority but I did order Joy Mangano's set of readers in the past and hated them. I thought they were awful quality. They got permanently foggy after a short while and the lenses scratched very easily. Every pair went into the trash.

QVC used to carry Tashon readers and I loved those. I ordered a set and those were much better quality. Unfortunately, I changed strengths and those no longer worked but I was able to pass them on to someone else.

The last set of reades I bought were from Walgreens. They were Buy 1 get 2 free so they were $18.00 for 3 pair. I cannot buy the ones from the Dollar Tree. Again, the lenses got foggy and something is always off with the lenses. They aren't a crisp, clear vision and sometimes the floor, etc. seems slanted. LOL

Thanks, everyone, for your helpful posts.

I also purchased the Tashon brand from QVC and loved them. Then I needed a different strength and bought the Hummingbird brand from QVC, because the Tashion brand was sold out. I also liked them, thought both brands were very good quality.

But since the Q no longer offers these brands, I looked elsewhere and found a really cute pair of computer readers at readers dot com that I really like, also.
