Foster Grant McKay Multifocus Reading Glasses Round

I love these glasses. In fact, I like them way better than the $300 prescription glasses I recently received, which are now in a drawer.

This is my 3rd set of these. They aren't extra durable but with proper use, they are sufficient.Why my third pair? 1 got lost, 1 broke when it hit the tile floor after a 3ft drop, and then the pair that I use every day.The lenses are bigger and clearer than my other Foster Grant styles. The frames are lighter weight.

After cataract surgery/cornea transplant in my right eye, I was "between prescriptions" with my eyeglasses. Until the second surgery I needed a new set of glasses/readers that would fill the gap. The McKay has been surprisingly helpful, and is now my "daily driver." The 3-stage magnification is a good fit for my "new" right eye, and will probably continue to work well when I have the left eye done soon.Lenses are good, though the "blue-blocker" coating for computer use does give the lenses a very slight yellow cast when you look at them in a mirror. Love the style, though the lenses are a bit smaller than I'd like.I had to subtract one star because the frames seem a tad fragile and might not last long term. But they're definitely a better value than the ridiculously overpriced products owned/manufactured by Luxotica -- which nowadays means just about everybody that makes glasses. For the price of one pair of those, I could replace the McKays a dozen times or more. Foster Grant for the win.

I bought these glasses a few years ago. I have difficult eyes, and this is the only pair that allows me to do close up artsy projects without eye strain. As many others mentioned, the frame broke without being mistreated. I had two pairs. This listing was purchased to replace the second pair whose frame broke. So, I have a two year old pair, and this week's pair to compare.They are the same size, and fit the same way. The lens are good quality, and the same strength. The frame is slightly more green colored, and appears to be very slightly thicker and sturdier, a good change overall. But, the change that I do NOT like is the different coating or tint. The original lens were very clear, and showed pure white when held up to a white piece of paper. This week's pair is very faintly yellow. When viewing a white paper, it appears faintly yellow. Not a good feature when I am picking paint colors! I kept them, because I see well with them. The old pair will be my art project glasses, and the new ones will travel with me when shopping to read labels.

These are horrible!! I bought these readers because I love the style and matted teal color. The design, and lenses are great. What I did not like is that the broke sitting on my dash in the car within a week. I should have returned them (they need to withstand heat to some degree…Ohio, early May), but they don’t. I decided to fix them with contact cement, and that put it back together, only for them to crack again in almost the same location!! See pic at the nose area. Once again, I fixed the glasses. Last week, I put them on again (I’ve rarely worn them…maybe a dozen time since owning them), and I’ll be dipped in tar, the damned things now broke on the left outer side. I’ve done nothing to them to warrant them breaking so easily. The plastic in these frames are so delicate that I don’t see how they can hold up over time.I feel I deserve my $35 back. I’m not one of those that returns everything they buy, or complain about it, but these Foster Grant reader take the cake. You’d think for the premium of $35 for readers, when you can get some for less than $10, that Foster Grant would have used much better plastics than what these are made from.So be aware, these will likely crack on you too. Not worth $5, let alone $35!

So I was hopeful these would work better than they do. The distance is ok... the mid is fine I suppose... it's the reading part that really fails to work well. I find myself switching glasses when I need to read something - which is what I was trying to avoid with these. Ah well. Probably should have returned them but they work well enough in a pinch.

PROS:1. The lenses are the perfect size, so it has total coverage, like there’s not a gap under, over or to the side.2. THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE that I fall asleep on my side watching my iPad. Normally I have to prop my head up with my hand so they don’t hurt my temples when laying on my side but these are so comfortable I literally forget they’re on! I am the pickiest ever about my glasses so this is huge!!3. They have five-layer anti-reflective coating that minimizes reflections from screens and fluorescent lighting.CONS:1. A little expensive.

I need reading glasses after cataract surgery and I was in visual limbo while waiting for my eyes to heal before getting prescription glasses. I have trouble with dizziness when using cheap drugstore glasses so I decided to try these multi focus ones.These glasses are better than I expected, especially for the price. I can see well both up close and at computer distance. The tops of the lenses are for farther away, but only up to about 5 feet - conversation distance. I still have to remove them for walking around or driving. I have gotten a couple of compliments on the appearance.They are holding up well after several weeks of wear, and I tend to drop my glasses and shove them in my purse, etc.I would purchase these again.
