HSN - Joy Mangano Readers

Icegoddess — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 23:40:17 GMT

I used to get these and haven't seen them presented in a few years. 8 pr for $39.99 + #3.50 s/h and tax. 1 pair are transitioning glasses and there's an avator style bifocal. Since I haven't seem them in so long, I picked these up during the midnight airing especially since I'm having to level up again. I would've preferred a more rounded frame, but for around the house these are fine because I DO like to leave them in different places so I don't have to walk back into a different room because I forgot and left them in another room.

I actually bought Peepers sunglasses in 1.0 to wear while driving awhile back and prefer that over the bifocal readers, but that's okay. I recently bought a pair of readers at the grocery store and they were 20 some-odd dollars for 1 pair. I keep the older, lower magnification readers around since I can use them for different things, like I don't need reading magnification for cooking or doing yardwork or walking around at the grocery store. In fact, I find the reading magnification too much for browsing the grocery store, so I keep 2 different pair in my purse.

hi!

I like her readers as well. I've had good luck finding a variety of styles on eBay for good prices, usually on buying a lot of 5 pairs.

You can't beat the price. I bought them years ago for somone in a nursing home. They were sturdy and well made. She is still using them.

I don't wear readers, but if I did, I would buy them in an instant.

I bought them, too. I've always thought her readers were the best, well-made I've ever had. I currently wear a 1.75 (in some I bought from Amazon...flimsy, don't fit well, but kept because I needed them) but ordered a 2.00, since she didn't offer a 1.75. I hope they're not too strong.

I have her reader/bifocal sunglasses and I would love a backup. This is the only product by her that I've purchased and loved.

I placed an order as well simply because of the price.

@Spacrazy & @Icegoddess

I was debating and finally caved in and purchased these TSV readers, can't beat that price of $39.99 + tax & shipping for 8 pairs.

@Ainhisg Just hold onto them if they're too strong. You'll get there. I'm currently wearing 2.75s, but I can tell I'm beginning to squint or close one eye, so I guess it's time for 3.00s. It's sad becuse I have to give up my sparkly glasses and I can't find those anymore. At least I can still use them for shopping.

@GenXmuse Yeah, I have no interest in any of her other stuff.

I got mine. Great quaity for the price especially for the hinge quality. I don't care for the aviator style sunglasses though. The hard case with magnetic closure is good quality.

I loved them, too. There are some review complaints that they're flimsy. I don't think they are at all. The reason the frames are thinner than years past is because of the style, which I loved by the way. The tortoise was subtle with the temples being the ombré color. I wear a 1.75. I ordered the 2.0, and they were just too strong. I wanted to exchange them for the 1.5, but they were sold out. The CS rep said she'd refund my return shipping since an exchange couldn't be made. I am watching for the 1.5 to become available again and hopefully not at full price. Also watching for them to appear as an as-is. Like you, the sunglasses were a no-go. Didn't fit my face, sat on my cheeks, reader portion way too low. Hated those but the rest of the package was great.
