grinderPUNCHHigh Magnification Power Readers Reading Glasses 1.00-6.00

I bought the 4x version some time ago, and just purchased the 5x version. I have been surprised at how much better these glasses are than trying to manipulate a magnifying glass. When you need to see something tiny, and it helps to have both hands free, these are a must. For example, threading a needle, or trying to remove a small splinter with tweezers.The lenses seem to be good quality, and the frames are sturdy. I find them quite comfortable, but your mileage may vary.The glasses have a number of bad reviews, because you have to hold what you are looking at just a few inches from your eyes. On the one hand, I feel that this is an unfair criticism by people who don't understand magnifying glasses--that's just how they work. On the other hand, these are sold as "reading glasses," and most people won't be comfortable using them for long periods.

I do a lot of amateur gunsmithing, and these glasses work perfectly for me. The people who complain about having to hold objects too close don’t understand magnification. 6 power magnification focuses at about 6 inches or so. If you want something that focuses farther away, you’ll need to get a lower magnification. The quality of the lenses is very good as well. For my purposes they work exceeding well.

I am legally blind and have used magnifying lenses for years. I wear a jewelers loupe with 5x and 10x magnifiers. The glasses are titled as 6x, but the description says -4.00, +4.00, +5.00, +6.00. The description is correct, the title of this item is not.The equivalent diopter value for a 6x magnifying lense is approximately +24.00.These are high diopter reading glasses, not magnifiers.

i ordered this twice 1st the 6 which is too strong but i've kept them and the 4 which is perfect...the reviews said the 6 is too strong and it hurts your eyes but they work when looking at pictures they get really big like life size...reading no way...the 4's are perfect for reading...also i'm sure everyone knows you can get reading glasses in any dollar store and these are much better than those...sturdier and bigger...the largest in a dollar store is 3.5 and flilmsy made these are quite sturdy and 10$ shouldn't break anyone

I have macular degeneration and have several loupe (on the head) magnifiers. These glasses are exactly what I was looking for.You must hold the reading material close to your eyes, but that's how high powered magnifiers work. These are wonderful and will be great at restaurants reading the menu.

I’ve been looking for glasses suitable to do paint by numbers and haven’t found what I needed until I found these. The numbers are very small as are some of the areas that need paint, and my regular reading glasses just aren’t strong enough to do the job. Consequently, I have several untouched pictures that I can now start working on. I just can’t believe the difference. I no longer have to struggle trying to read the number or wonder if I’m straying from the numbered area. The other advantage is in not having to bend my neck in order to read the numbers, which caused unnecessary neck strain and pain. These glasses have brought back the fun in my paint by numbers artwork.Update: I’ve been reading the reviews and I don’t think some of the bad reviews are warranted. The strength that works for you depends on what you want to use them for and the quality of your own eyes. If your eyesight isn’t very good for small print or detail, you may need a stronger strength. While I mostly use them for detail work that I mentioned previously, I do use them when reading very small print, and when I’m using my cell phone or iPad. I do not have to hold the reading material close to my face- some have said 3 inches from their face. I hold the book or phone as I normally would. It’s all about which strength works better for you - and that’s mostly trial and error. I bought quite a few pairs of glasses until I found which strength worked best for me. I actually have them in different strengths depending on what I’m using them for. My old eyes don’t adjust for different uses any more as they did when I was younger. The strength I wear when using my computer is different from the strength I wear when doing paint-by-numbers or needlepoint, and it’s different when I read depending on the size of the print. Just because a certain strength makes things look blurry doesn’t mean the glasses are junk - it just means you haven’t found the best strength that works for you and you need to try other strengths until you find the one that does work for you.

Bought them to do modeling with. I already have to wear reading glasses so it was natural to wear and focus these glasses. Purchased the 5.0 based on other reviews. The focus distance is perfect for me. The working focus distance is between 6 and 8 inches from nose bridge to object. Outside that distance is an eye strain. For me the 6.0 should have focused between 3 to 5 inches. Too close for my requirements. I guessed right.The frames are geekish with thick lens but surprisingly light weight. Ear pieces are thin and wide with spring hinges that hugs the head comfortably. On mine, the nose bridge is smooth with good contour. Comes with a drawstring soft pouch.If you're not use to wearing reading glasses, they will take some time to learn focusing, and flipping (on and off the nose to top of head placement). If you do wear glasses..tip of nose placement is uncomfortable due to the ear piece shape and spring hinges. Flipping works better.

Solid product. I opted for the 5X based on the comments about the very close working distance of the 6X and am pleased with my choice. More magnification than from my +3 diopter readers. Not the highest quality frames, but I expected that. The 5X will be good for taking splinters out of the kiddos’ hands and any intricate working with small parts.

I bought these to use for seeing intricate details while carving wax jewelry casting pieces. They are sturdy and reall help with close up details. Much more comfortable than having to a headpiece with magnifying glasses inset

I have 4 pairs of the most powerful strength glasses(600) The price allows me the 4 pairs One in the kitchen one pair in the reading room and a pair in the bedroom Then a pair in my purse LOVE THEM

the glassed are just what I need and are as described,good service too!!

Las gafas están bien para lo que son. Quizá se nota demasiado el grosor del lente en comparación con otros modelos de misma graduación

Frame is sturdy which I like and the springs on the side are so nice to have when I lie in bed reading on my side.
