Metal Blue Reading Glasses +2.0, Ultra Slim and Lightweight, CE Certified/EN ISO 12870, Comes with Free Matching Oval Aluminium Tube with Clip

The current trend in reading glasses seems to be towards full-height / full sized lenses - it's certainly become extremely difficult to buy anything else in supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.I prefer to keep my glasses on and just look over the top of them most of the time, but I've been having great difficulty finding suitably narrow-lensed glasses...Until now that is - these are exactly what I've been looking for, with very narrow lenses no higher than about 11mm and, as luck would have it, they are also amazingly neat, very stylish looking glasses.The arms have only a suggestion of a curve as they pass over the ear - they don't really hook over the ears and the glasses are very light, so it might not be advisable to wear them outdoors in very strong wind - otherwise, the very light weight makes them very comfortable and easy to wear for long periods of time.The almost straight shape of the arms means that these glasses fold into a very compact space and the supplied case is the thinnest glasses case I have ever seen, hardly any bigger than a bulky fountain pen.Highly recommended -IF- you are looking for glasses with narrow lenses.

Very quickly shipped. Good quality item and its carrying box is nicely made too.Not designed to wear for a long period I suppose, they are not particularly comfy, but they certainly are very convenient to have as a back up in your bag or in your pocket : as small as a pen, they take no space at all !

These are never going to replace a bespoke pair of glasses, but then again this is surely not where this product is aimed. These glasses are small enough to be slipped in a pocket and kept with you wherever you're going; the case being the size of a small pencil case and just over 5" long. I've taken these cycling and motorcycling - both activities making it annoying or uncomfortable to have a full size pair of glasses and case sitting in your pocket. As I only really need glasses for reading I also use them when going out generally, so I've got something to use 'just in case'. And yes, they are well put together and fit-for-purpose. Do I use them at home? No. But I've had a pair for nearly a year and lost them recently. That really made me realise how useful they were and how I'd come to rely on them in certain circumstances. I just had to get them replaced, and at this price it's low enough to grab a couple of pairs. Buy some, I'm certain you'll find them useful (maybe even irreplaceable, like me!)

Cracking glasses and very slimline and compact. Very pleased and seller sent out very quickly and received next day. If these are treated well I am confident they will have a long life.

I have now purchased three pairs of these reading glasses and can say that the quality is professional throughout from the lenses to the frame and are certainty worth the money. The case though is a different story in that it is cheap and poor quality. The clip (to the case) snapped off a few minutes after opening the packaging. If you really want to spoil yourself and go for a leather case then the 'Stones Leather Pen Case' available on Amazon priced at £16.30 is a perfect fit. Be sure to take out the packaging first.

I bought these glasses to be portable. They definitely serve that purpose. They appear to be well made metal frames with sprung hinges. I have only a slight reservation - I assumed they would be a bit deeper, even though that would have meant a wider case. In fact they are incredibly skinny - the lenses probably less than 1cm deep. But having said that, they sit comfortably in front of your eyes to read a menu etc. So they actually do the job very well.

I have bought many cheap and flimsy compact glasses over the years, so I was delighted to have found these. They are very small and so fit into an evening bag, and I can look over the top of them. They are strongly made and the case is robust. For the price, I think they are wonderful, and have started buying them for friends who have seen them and have tried to pinch mine!

Extremely prompt service. Glasses even better than I expected, very thin case (size of a fountain pen) means they fit in any pocket. The glasses perch very snuggly and don't fall off, very handy for small print. Ultimately useful to those of us who hold a camera to the eye (which can be done without inconvenience, by lowering the glasses down one's nose) and afterwards check the quality of the photo on the camera screen.As I said, good service and a very useful optical item for close-up inspection.
