Foster Grant Men's Braydon Multifocus Reading Glasses

I've ordered & tried SO many different OTC (Over The Counter) progressive specs, and have found the clarity quality of all Foster Grant progressives, to have the best and WIDEST, horizontal visual clarity for computer & reading without any distortion. I wear them a little low on my face to peek over the top of frame, when walking or focusing at far distances. It's BY FAR, the easiest focusing experience keeping them on my face all day, without any issues. Immediately able to SEE VERY NICELY upon putting them on, without needing any time to adjust to the optics, unlike a new pair of optical prescription progressive glasses, which usually DOES require "time to get used to them". They even beat the quality of the leading optical progressive lenses available, that supposedly have the widest field of view. They're called Varilux. l spent over $200.00 (not including frame), on that Varilux, which ended up being $ thrown out the window because I could never see with them. These "OTC" Foster Grants have been a true blessing, comfortably easy to use, with no hassle or headaches, upon wearing. ***VERY MUCH WORTH THE MONEY*** #BestOpticsWithFosterGrants

Great value for the money! Much better than a $350 pair of glasses from my optician. I bought these while I was waiting to see my eye doc and get new glasses made after cataract surgery. These worked really well, providing excellent clarity for reading close up, and computer work. I did notice its distance viewing was slightly less acute than the view with my newly corrected, cataract-free eyes, but not by much. When I got my new progressive prescription glasses, they were tough to wear because viewing anything away from the center was blurry and streaky. Apparently, this is because physics and optical law require the prescription to be applied to the lenses in the shape of an hour glass. I Googled it. But somehow, these Foster Grants are designed without those hourglass constraints and they work great!

Solid, comfortable frames and quality lenses. More expensive than cheap readers, but worth the price. Your eyes will thank you!

Multifocal lenses have some distortion in them due to the way that the lenses are manufactured. It's a compromise. That being said, from what I've read online and the images of how this should look there should be a clear area all the way across the top of the lens for distance viewing. These Foster Grant glasses have a significant distortion in the right lens that goes all the way to the top. The left lens doesn't seem to have this issue or at least it isn't significant. This causes me some issues as I have two monitors on my desk and for reading on the right side, it blurs my vision. When I look left I don't notice this. I have laser corrected vision and I can see perfectly at a distance, but have recently needed to wear some 1.25 readers for up close work or reading books. This distortion isn't a problem with my eyes, it's in the lens. I can hold these glasses up in front of my monitor and see where it distorts text on the right side of the right lens at the top. I thought that by spending a little more on Foster Grant glasses that I'd be getting an optically correct lens, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've since found a few other Amazon reviews for other FG multifocal readers that seem to indicate that they may have a common problem with the right lens. Due to that, I'm going to return these and try to find some other brand or go back to my 'end of the nose' drugstore readers.

These worked well for what I wanted them for: reading glasses for singing with a choir. The magnification at the top of the lens, while not zero, is low enough that I don't have to push the glasses down my nose to see the conductor well. And the reading magnification toward the bottom is just right, with a wider horizontal field of view than the bifocal readers I was using.

Excellent pair of reading glasses

Good go to readers, fine quality, slightly heavy on the noze after being up all night but still decent. Used to be my favorite readers till I found a slightly lighter pair that didn't have the plastic holster catch around the ear frame that catches my fine long hairs at times.

I bought a $500 custom pair of transition glasses from my optometrist which didn't work well, these are better for way less money!
