New reader glasses

LilacTree — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 20:52:32 GMT

I bought a pair of the new reader glasses (that help with the blue lighting from our devices). But mostly because I’m hoping they will help me with reading the very tiny fonts on this site. I bought the largest size . . . The 3.5. Fingers crossed!

the dollar store sells them for a dollar and they do the trick just as good

@LilacTree If you’d like others, I purchase mine in sets of 4 at TJ Maxx or Marshalls’s. I keep a pr. all over the house for when caught w/o my glasses.

@MrSour Do they have blue light readers there? I haven't seen them but perhaps they have them in your area's dollar store.

@MrSour - I have several pairs (different colors/designs) of the 1.00 readers that I purchased from Dollar Tree. My co-workers will comment on my "cute readers" and then are surprised when I tell them I purchased them for a 1.00. They're actually pretty decent quality.

@San Antonio Gal I would love to get inexpensive blue light readers....are yours blue light readers or just regular ones?

I think it's very unlikely the dollar stores have blue light readers. I got a pair of the Prive Revaux readers and there's a world of difference between their quality and that of the cheap readers. The lenses seem so much clearer and they're very sturdy and well-made. They do block the blue light. I went up one strength to a 3.0, which is working well for me.

I've ordered reading glasses from readers dot com.

If you sign up to receive emails they are always sending me coupons for 25-40% off. They seem good quality. They also sell the blue readers.

@haddon9 - They're just the regular ones.

I have blue light blocking readers I purchased on amazon for $20 and they are very good. I did buy a set from Prive Receaux on their website with 20% off and they are much better quality. I have bought many cheap readers (not blue light blocking) at various cheap stores and they are not the same quality

@Kachina. I agree

The 3.5 refers to the strength of magnification not the size.
