Foster Grant Conan Multifocus Reading Glasses

Once I discovered these multifocus readers, it changed my life. I use a computer at work and to be able to read something and look up at the screen without having to take my readers off was a huge change. In addition, these look nice. I've actually had people ask where I got my glasses. They are READERS! I now have a pair in my car, at home, by my bed, and at my office. The only thing that is a disappointment is taht one of the frame hinges breaks about once every 3 to 6 months.

The Foster Grant "Multifocus" lenses in these glasses are significantly different than typical prescription progressive lenses. These do NOT have any optical distortion, there is no "corridor" or other areas that are out of focus. They are perfect for simultaneous reading, desk work, screen work. I use them for close to medium close tasks like working in my shop, remodeling, operating power tools, etc. The progressive level is full width and not hindered by optical aberrations. I have been using these for about 10 years now, the only change being I have increased the magnification as my eyes get "older," lol. Started at 1.75 and I now use 2.5 depending on the task. Just order your regular magnification.

Actual glasses are fine. Product packaging was opened and glasses case was missing.was this a returned item or did someone need a glasses case when it got packedVery disappointing as this glasses are not cheap

I've recently had to start wearing glasses, I've only ever worn readers before. I took my prescription to and eye lab, ordered some progressive lenses along with distance glasses, spent $600. The distance glasses were ok (but I don't really have a problem with distance anyway) the progressives were terrible, I've returned them twice to have them redo them and they still don't work for me. On a whim I looked at the FG progressives, I really like the quality of their readers, so I thought I'd give them a shot...for $35 what did I have to lose? OMG these glasses are great!!! Nice quality, great feel to them, very sturdy. I can wear them when I go out no blurry vision, I can read with them, I can do it all <3 I still use readers for computer stuff as I don't like having a small area for reading, but at least I can wear the progressives the majority of the time. What a relief!! Now if they just come up with a transition/progressive that would be perfect!!

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....

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!
