Visualites 1 Lightweight Rimless Rectangle Reading Glasses For Men and Women, Khaki, 1.75 Strength

It drives me crazy when I finally find a pair of glasses I like (e.g. the Cross Byron rimless) and then they become unavailable. So, when I found that these Visualities are fantastic, I bought 2 pair more. I've bought dozens of readers over the years, and these are now my favorite. I like spring-hinges, so I was a little skeptical of these simple hinges, but I did not anticipate the amazing flex in the frames. There's no need for spring hinges! In addition, these are very light, much lighter than others I've worn, so they're not tiring. I have a very large head, and these adjust very well. The lenses have not scratched after about 2 months of wear. One of the nose pads became loose, but it was a simple matter to tighten the screw that attaches one lens to the other across the nose - and better than some readers that have such cheap connections that they really can't be tightened without stripping (or a special wrench).

I have bought several pairs of these and although they are not the most hardy glasses I have used (can count on a couple of months before they start getting loose and bent out of shape from normal wear), the optical quality is good. One thing that drives me nuts is they include a hard tube case that is too small for the glasses, unless you want to cram them in, scratch the lens and risk even quicker wear-out. Overall, good glasses to be stored in another hard case and they should last for a while.

Bought quite a few of these - either lose them or people snag em for themselves. Lightweight, stylish. Good construction.

I had these for a couple of months and then one day, the pin holds one of the side pieces fell out, rendering the glasses useless. I liked how they were very light.

The fit was great, but the glasses broke at the handle to easily. They lasted for about 2 months before I had to trash them.
