Foster GrantJames Multifocus Reading Glasses

I’m so happy I found these they work perfect for my eyes

Love these new Foster Grant Multifocus Glasses! After seeing these advertised on television, I decided to give them a try and they are wonderful!I am new to having to wear reading glasses - everyone jokes how it's a birthday gift around 50 years old yet it's no gift. While some of the glasses can be stylish, I find them to be annoying and uncomfortable. Annoying to take on and off and then have to carry them for the few minutes that I'll need them again - maybe just to read a menu. Uncomfortable because I don't need them most of the time so I end up putting them on my head and then they are just an uncomfortable headband. Well, these are different!!!Foster Grant Multifocus are a different kind of reading glass.1. They are stylish. To be honest, I ordered 4 different style in order to choose which ones to buy for my husband and myself. I chose the Conan style and he chose the Sawyer style. Honestly it was hard to choose between the Sawyer and the James as both looked great on him. The James are a bit smaller, plastic frame while the Sawyer were a bit more squared off, a bit wider, and metal frame. I might keep the Sawyers as a second pair for myself! All were stylish just each a bit different.2. They are honestly multi focus so I don't need to take them on and off. For me the best part of this is to be able to type on my laptop, turn my head to read a piece of fine print on paper and then return to the computer screen to type. Ahhh! No more taking my glasses on and off again and again. I probably won't walk around in them yet that brings me to the next point.3. They are comfortable. While the multifocus says that you can leave them on to be able to look straight ahead for distance, I didn't find this the most comfortable - while not blurry, it was just a bit straining. So...I put them up on my head. Wow! Foster Grant has wonderful spring arms so they are a very comfortable head band! yeah!While not the least expensive, I am very very happy with our new Foster Grant Multifocus glasses and will be buying more!I appreciate other purchasers' reviews and that is why I choose to write them now. Amazon reviews help me choose which products to buy. I sort product choices by Average Customer Review to help decide which item to choose. I didn't find a lot of reviews for Foster Grant Multifocus as they are quite new. I have found customer reviews to be very helpful and hope that I am paying it forward by providing this review. Thank you to Foster Grant for making this nice product and to Amazon for selling it and shipping it so quickly. I love Amazon!

As far as correcting vision goes, these are great. The progressive lenses give you three levels of power, which--for a near-sighted person--means I can use them to read or work on a computer and chat with someone across a table but don't have to take them off to drive. Thus, they're much more convenient than typical readers. And, compared to the price of "real" glasses, they're quite bargain.However, you do get what you pay for in terms of longevity. I've had several pair of these. And I like the Foster Grant ones because they look professional. But they will tend to die in one of two ways: 1) the lower portion of the glasses below the lens will crack, or 2) the black will start to fake off. I wore them into a salt-water pool once, and that seemed to really exacerbate the problem. This flaking is aesthetic and can take a while to be noticeable, as it starts with the arms where they contact the ears and works forward. But the first problem is a real issue, as the lens will eventually fall out.Thus, while I like these, they're disposable. I budget 2-3 pair of them per year. That's a hassle, but it's far less than I'd pay for a decent set of legit glasses. So, I'm happy to pay it.

my husband had Lasik 20 years ago and was diagnosed with ocular cancer this year. treatment left him near blind in one eye and with the Lasik, his vision is ever changing and set for distance viewing. these are comfortable, durable, attractive and affordable but allow him to see better for everyday living. scratch resistance and blue light blocking are a huge plus he hates wearing glasses again but this pair he doesn't mind near as much as others we've tried. highly recommend.

Update 03/01/2021My third (!) set broke!Extremely poor quality of frame material. Frame around lenses notoriously breaks even with low usage after about 4 to 6 six months. It appears to be a shrinkage of the material that causes such a high stress that it starts to crack and break. One cannot fit the parts together at the crack and a gap of over 1/16" remains indicating why the frame broke in the first place and that it has in fact shrunk.Black paint coating also starts within a few months bubbling and peeling.I ordered these glasses first time back in late October 2019 and received them in early November 2019.So far so good I thought.Within less than a couple of months the disintegration started.The glass frame, which is a clear plastic coated in black "paint" coating started to peel off and little bits and pieces. Within a couple of weeks it was in so many areas loose that I could remove the remains easily with my fingernail. Most likely the product comes from a certain country that is in recent days often mentioned in the news...So I thought, oh what the heck and cleared all the loose paint off ending up with a clear frame version.April 6, 2020 I encountered the same thing many have written about here: the frame cracked, suddenly broke into pieces without being exposed to any external stress and the lenses fell out.Unfortunately one of the lenses was irretrievably lost as the frame suddenly fell apart without warning.Upon closer inspection I noticed that the remaining parts of the frame had a lot of cracks in it.It appears that the plastic frame shrinks rather rapidly over time and thus the tension that builds up by the lens sitting in place eventually causes the plastic to crack in several areas.Some reviewers here have posted images that show exactly the same damages I encountered.I'm not unreasonable to expect that a pair of glasses must last longer than just less than 6 months.I also think that Amazon shall introduce some form of warranty with each product other than the brief return window so it can be returned to the manufacturer or at least an exchange if it fails after a few months.I'm not willing to buy every 6 months a new set of glasses!
