Foster GrantConan Multifocus Reading Glasses

These fit me well and are very comfortable. These are my go to glasses over the expensive prescription pair I own. I have rebought them a couple of times to have a spare pair and to replace after breaking after a couple of years of wear.

I've been struggling with being able to see the computer for some time now. Regular readers didn't help because the computer is too far away. Then, I found these little miracles. Now my computer is crystal clear. I have a pair for home and a pair for work. They have a few flaws. They are heavy, and the top section that is supposed to allow you to look far is not clear. There is some distortion, but this is minor compared to the joy of being able to clearly see my computer screen.

I have had 3-4 pairs of these exact same glasses over the past few years and they hold up well. The latest run appears to have not made to the same standard. They still look good and work properly, however the frames don’t appear of the same sturdy quality that I am used to although price is the same. Hopefully they will last.

These glasses replaced my progressive lenses. I didn't expect that - I bought these for computer use and they work great for that. They are also good for reading and distance viewing. A quality product.

To agree with earlier favorable reviews, my specific situation is this:Had cataract surgery early today (Aug 23, '18) with (now) both eyes done "far" and thus, need for "readers" for close work.I ordered in advance, the 1.0 model of these items, and after just a 1/2 day of using them, I hope they don't break at the frames, because....with the dilations wearing off, I can already see how my distance vision - say, flatscreen HD at about 8-10 feet - my vision in both eyes is almost as crisp as my (now) 20/20 vision in both eyes with my new intraocular lenses.And yes - the "multifocus" idea does work, even as my today's surgical dilations wear off, in that my close vision is sharp, up to about 2-1/2 feet away and on out to the TV. I'm impressed, and I use a laptop on a chair-arm support to use the internet as we all do, and this makes it possible to watch TV and do the closer work (not REAL close, like 1 or 2 feet away) - do the closer work with ease of vision.Note: the farthest focus is at the top of the lens, and with the 1.0 mag I ordered, there is just slight magnification at the top of the lens. At the bottom it's about a 2.0 focus requirement.Good product. If the frames DO break, I would consider buying two more pairs, until I tire of replacing them or buy prescription trifocals to make life easy. I wear this single pair of spex, constantly.I would add, now on Sept. 19, that fully recovered from cat surgery, I can read with one pair of these multifocals, up to one foot away; and for "far", I can see clearly up to ten + feet away. Further, and there is slight magnification, so for say, driving, I don't use anything over my eyes save perhaps for plain sunglesses; closer than a foot? I use a 2.0 or even a 2.5 for very close work. Great product!Second update: Uh oh! Now, on Sept 22, '18, the hinges suddenly ? have begun to work loose from the frames, same as described in many earlier reviews. I'll buy another two pairs, and if quality control not improved for this subsequent purchase, I'll look for other brands. I LOVE these multifocals, as they work wonderfully, technically - but if the hinges continue to break, I'd recommend avoiding them. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment....

Love these glasses, just wish they lasted longer than a month without breaking.I purchased two pair — first one broke via defect. Customer service just a wee bit difficult. I've posted the emails below. As of noon 5/26, still waiting to hear back from them. Will add that email shortly after I receive it. Caveat emptor.If I get satisfaction from them in the way of a refund for the first pair I'll change my rating. If I have to jump through hoops or don't get satisfaction it will remain one star.Here's the email thread:On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 10:03 PM:Hello -I purchased a pair of Conan multifocus readers off Amazon.com at the end of April.LOVE them, but the left bow popped off the metal attachment (and a tiny piece of the metal broke as well.)I am heartbroken at having to go back to doubling up glasses, and wonder if you have a warranty that would cover this.I purchased another pair on Amazon just tonight. I’ve enclosed both invoices for your review and would be happy to send you the broken pair as proof.Please let me know if you would be able to refund my money for the additional pair I had to purchase.Many thanksOn May 27, 2015, at 9:46 AM, Unknown fgxics <[email protected]> wrote:Hello,Thank you for contacting Foster Grant.

It broke at the bow just as I described in my first email.Happy to send it back. Prefer to send photos, as it appears I would be paying money to ship back a defective product that came apart a month after light usage and I don't think that's right or fair. I think it's important to note that I have a slim head and face and the bows were at no time under stress. I also never wore them on my head – I wore them on a glasses cord.I have included in this email the invoice for the first one that I purchased, photos of it broken, and the second invoice for the one that I bought yesterday to replace that broken one.I don't need a replacement from you, I need a refund for the broken one. I stated in my first email that I have already ordered a replacement.I'm gonna post my review on Amazon.com with this conversation so that others can see what to expect when the product fails.I actually looked at someone's review online and they had experienced the same problem and got a refund. I was hoping to have the same experience.Thanks

I liked the look and style of the glasses. But unfortunately the glasses were slightly damaged. The right side temple bar is quite loose the part embedded into frame.

Great bang for the buck! Works as good as my $800 prescription glasses.

compré unos anteriormente, y ahora el mismo pero en otro color.una armazón robusta y reforzada, ópticas de gran calidad, muy superior a letes baratos.

I really like these glasses, but I have to say after buying quite a few pairs they always seem to break easily.

Amazing glasses. I love them

Los anteojos más confortables!!

Después de comprar cualquier cantidad de lentes para lectura, ninguno me acomoda como este modelo que me permite leer tanto en la computadora, al escribir o ver el celular.Altamente recomendables!
