Foster GrantWomen's Zera Multifocus Reading Glasses Cat-Eye

Reading glasses are the bane of my existence. I've worn glasses since I was 4 years old and got gas permeable contacts when I was 16. My contacts deal with an astigmatism and I see (distance-wise) much better with my contacts than when I wear glasses. But as I've aged, my near vision has gone down the crapper, and I find that I can't see anything small without help. I've tried so many pairs of reading glasses, and even begged my eye doctor to prescribe a lens so I could get real, well made readers with quality lenses. No such luck.But I've finally found reading glasses that I actually LIKE. These Foster Grant Multifocus glasses are great! First, the lens itself is the closest to a "real" lens than I've every encountered: it's not dingy, foggy and dark which is the case with other cheap readers. There's no distortion, pockets of waviness or other distracting optical aberrations. My eyes don't feel stressed after wearing them for extended periods.I really love this particular design, as well. Originally I bought a pair of wire rimmed readers but that style has the hinged nose piece,which is fine when you're wearing them, but if I put them on top of my head (like so many of us do when we want to keep them handy but need to look to the distance), the hinge would tangle in my hair. I'd look silly untangling them, it would leave my hair a mess, and worst of all, pull out clumps of hair.This style looks good - they're big enough to cover the eye but aren't silly looking. I like that they cover the whole eye - I'm not tempted to look over them, which I think makes me look older. They have a nice weight, but they're light but feel well made.Speaking of well made... I've had these glasses for a couple of months, and a while ago I managed to put a stack of textbooks down on top of them. The one ear piece was badly bent but I was able to just bent it back into place. Honestly, they should have been goners as soon as it happened, and I kept waiting for them to actually break, but it took more than 5 weeks. I just ordered 2 more pairs, one for home and one for school. They're expensive, but well worth it.

I originally bought a pair of these when my ophthalmologist suggested I may need progressive lens but that I don't actually need glasses for every day use. Up until then I was wear readers, but it was starting to get annoying because I kept having to take them on and off. I gave these a shot and I loved them! I ordered the 1.5x magnification for the first pair. I love them. They fit so comfortably and they look great. Haven't had any problems with them bending or breaking. They are VERY sturdy.Over the next year my vision deteriorated a bit more, so I also ordered the 2.0x, but they were too strong at the time. A recent trip to the optometrist and I got a pair of prescription glasses. I prefer the 2.0x version of these better than my rx glasses, so I wear those now (I just ordered a second pair as a spare). Again, I love these. They are perfect. In total I have 3, one pair at 1.5x and two at 2.0x.Obviously everyone has a different size head and eyes are at a different distance apart so just because they are great for me, doesn't mean they will be great for everyone. As for the reviews of people breaking the frame, I really don't know how that can happen. Mine are super sturdy, more so than the prescription ones that I got from my optometrist. They also stay on my face, so I can't see how they would break unless I banged my face on something!!

These are awesome, the frame is sturdy and the lenses are clearer than the cheap readers I usually buy. They truly are multifocal. I can go from computer screen, to writing, to looking at the door without any loss of focus. The frames are also stylish. Only negative is the sad case. Very cheap looking and more importantly, too thin for the glasses, it's a struggle to slide them in. Why bother? Should've just sent a case made from cleaning cloth.

I was so excited when Foster Grant came out with multifocal glasses. I like wearing contacts but need strong readers and can't stand peering over the usual kind. So I've been having my eye doctor make them up special for me, which costs a lot. Of course, there I get a better choice of frames. But it's worth the savings to get these. I'm not big into the dark, thick look, but they work. And they are VERY comfortable. The only con is that they are very fragile. I broke them pretty quickly, but that's my fault. I should have kept them in a case and not just dump them in my purse.

The fit is good, and the glasses work for me almost as well as prescription glasses. However, I am having to replace them every other month because the arms break easily. I love the glasses so I keep buying a new pair. After all even with insurance most glasses are at the very least 300-400.

These glasses get scratched up so easily. I thought I was saving money by buying these. As it turns out I am spending so much money replacing them after they scratch within a couple of months. I had 3 pair crack around the lenses and the lenses fell out. I thought it was the way I cleaned them or maybe not being careful with them. When I was very careful and cleaned them with the cloth provided or microfiber cloth the scratches still continued to show up. I like how they fit and the multi focus. I would like to see this style in a lighter color.

I ordered these in the 2.5 magnification and am absolutely blown away at how well they make it possible for me to transition between a multitude of household and professional tasks. I can see tiny print on medicine bottles and food labels again and everything on my computer screen too. Highly recommend.

Not too sure about these. I really liked them but they seem to have gotten a milky appearance to them. They're great for looking across the table as described and saves you grabbing another pair or going without. I will keep using and may or may not buy another pair depending on vision.

The exterior of the lenses are imprinted with a circle and the strength of the glasses in your line of vision which makes you think there's lint or a scratch on them. I bought them online before and one lens had it but I noticed after it was too late to return them. This pair has 4 imprints!! Very disappointed.
