EYE ZOOM Ultra Slim Compact Lightweight Tube Reading Glasses with Portable Clip Aluminum Case

Glasses arrived today and one pair has a defect (bubble) in the glass. Neither pair’s eye pads line up correctly with the other one making the glasses look like defects.I purchased for in house use (not public) so won’t be returning, but will not buy again as poorly made.

I've been using this size readers for 6 or 7 years now and these are the best ones I have had. I've always bought the Newbees in the past, and they were fine, but there are three things I like more about these:1- Nose pads are attached with screws, and pivot. They don't slide onto a tiny post, which inevitably slide off and get lost. I expect these to be much more comfortable since they pivot to match my nose.2- The magnification is printed on an arm. Newbees aren't, which was very frustrating. I have higher powers for closeup work, but the biggest frustration was when I wanted to order another pair with slightly stronger or weaker power. Had no way of knowing what power I was using to help decide what power to get. Or even reordering the same power.3- The case with these is stronger than the Newbees. I always have the case in my pocket for when I'm not wearing them. I'm sure the pocket clip will fall off of these as well, but I never cared about the clip.And finally, the price is the same even though these must cost a little more to produce.

A case of non-functioning cases. The glasses come out with some protective plastic wrap and those very motivated static clinging labels. Once removed the actual glasses are very light (almost delicate.). The fit was fine and clarity good as well. However, when trying to slide them back into the case they reach a hard bind.Trying to force it results in the frames bending, without the glasses on I can't see what is binding. Lucky I have a two pack as I needed the second pair to put away the first. You have to squeeze and wiggle with a bit of twist and they will go back inside. I suspect that putting them away is what is going to both scratch and break them. Now I need a third pair to put away the second.

I have to say I was surprised at how clear the lens are. These are great reading glasses. Very light and crystal clear. The only thing I am having a problem with is the smell. I kept catching a whiff of something between a skunk and rubber. Only to discover it is the glasses. Even after cleaning really well they still smell. I really hope the smell goes away. I just couldn't give them 5 stars because of that.

As described, nice protective hardshell case, too, just remember to depress the temples towards the back of the glasses to put them in the case or they will not go...threw me for a minute until I figured it out, as had a similar pair in the past where this was not necessary.

Excellent alignment of lenses. Full size nose pads (not those tiny ones which fall off and leave a wire behind to stab you). Also, I needed 2.25, which is not offered in some of the other similar products.

I ordered the 2.0 and 3.5 strength glasses. I use the 2.0 for reading, especially when print is small. I use the 3.5 for threading a beading needle, which is IMPOSSIBLE to do without these glasses. Almost as important as the glasses themselves is the case. It easily fits in a purse and because it is so study, it protects the glasses better than just a cloth case. No cons to this product. The fit is comfortable and they are study, well made.

I love the color of these glasses. They are very light, so if they sit on the end of your nose, as mine do more often than not, they are fairly comfortable (heavier glasses tend to make it more difficult to breathe through my nose). They are not terribly comfortable for me when pushed up to their proper position, however. They aren’t quite wide enough. All in all a serviceable pair of reading glasses!
