ThinOptics Unisex Adult Glasses Reading, Regular Case / Rectangle Black, 2.00 US

Before I found these, I used to try Foster Grant and other similar reading glasses from the drugstore. What I hated about them is how big they were AND how cloudy the lenses appeared to me. Not so with these babies: I have 4 pairs of ThinOptics Connect readers in different colors just so I can be choosy what pair I grab every day. I wear them with my contacts - never had a problem. They are crystal clear to see through, fit fine (and on a smaller face with narrow temples), and to date (knock on wood) pretty durable (no scratches). They're super lightweight and half the time I don't even know I have them on. The only pair of glasses they compare to in comfort are my rimless prescription progressives. They fit easily in my purse, and I have a pair stashed in my long leather wallet just in case. Buy'em - you won't regret it!

If you’re wanting readers that can fit easily in your purse or pocket, these are great for that.I was pleasantly surprised by their size, as I have a narrow face and was worried that they’d be too big/wide. They are very close to the size of my prescription glasses as seen in the photos. They fit me perfectly. But not sure that they’d fit everyone. I added the measurement so that you can measure your current glasses and compare if they’d be the right size for you. They don’t slide down on my face either.They feel kind of fragile to me, but I think that’s the nature of these. The circular part of the frame seems to be made of plastic. I just make sure to be careful when I bring them anywhere. But, what I love the best is the case. It’s sturdy for what it is and keeps the reading glasses safe.I ordered Brown and was sent Clear. So took photos of both. The Clear ones were also “used”, there were finger prints on the glass part (see green arrow). Also the part that goes over the ear was slightly bent and couldn’t be straightened. I returned those.I reordered the Brown and kept those. You can stick them in one of your pockets, if you don’t want to bring a purse and are only bringing a phone to a restaurant, etc. I like they fit easily in a small cross-body purse.I looked at other brands, but couldn’t find anything that was this low profile and had a case as nice as this one.

These glasses are great. They easily fit in your pocket, not bulky at all. They are a bit delicate, you just need to be careful taking them out and putting them away.

I like these but there’s nearly unavoidable smudging that happens when I take them out of the case or put them back in. Other than that, I’m pleased. Thanks.

These glasses are very thin and don't take up space. I can easily slide them into my pocket, I love the fact they don't hug the nose and they said nicely on the face without discomfort, perfect for reading.

Cutting to the chase - This case attaches to the phone by a magnet plate that is stuck to your phone with double-stick adhesive, and the magnet in turn sticks to a metal plate in the glasses holder. The problem is, if you attach the magnet plate to the phone, you're going to lose the ability to charge wirelessly as the magnet confuses the charger and mucks up the connection in general. As induction is the main method of charging phones now, and has been for quite a while, this is a big problem.But that's not all!The magnet plate itself is a pain to attach to the phone in the correct location because they don't give you a template to guide placement. Instead, you have to remove the backing to the adhesive and then try to stick the whole case down in the right spot. However, at least initially the sticky material is not strong enough to overcome the magnet, so you can't lift up the case without the whole thing coming unstuck. As you might guess, repeated attempts just weaken the adhesion.The instructions suggesting you go ahead and try to stick the case down to go over the camera bump is terrible advice. As you'd guess, the raised portion at one end, where the bump is located, causes adhesion issues, and ultimately is not workable. If you try to put the case to the side of the bump, at least on iPhone 12, not max, the case hangs over the edge of the phone, which of course causes other issues.What is maddening is that all this is avoidable, particularly with iPhones.First, the case is unnecessarily just a couple of millimeters too wide to fit between the bump and the edge. That's just a design flaw. The glasses would fit snuggly protected in the case with a slimmer width.Second, the adhesion to the phone is clunky amateur hour. Just a terrible design. I get that a lot of people use cases, so this may have been a compromise to make the case universal, but at the same time for any iPhone product with MagSafe, most people are going to migrate to MagSafe cases anyway. So, in addition to the dimensional change mentioned above, why on earth didn't they design a case that was compatible? I could see extending a plastic plate back from the case with a ring of magnets that allowed the case to stick to the phone and be easily removed. Half the magnets could be in a ring in the space of the existing case, the other half in a ring the extends in a half circle behind it. You could even make the magnet ring slide in and out of the case itself using a friction fit so that the case could be used more easily in just a pocket without the magnets, but that's a bonus as for someone like me, the entire point is to have the glasses stuck to the phone most of the time so they are handy.As for the glasses, the optics re reasonably good. I think better than the $10 pairs off the shelf. The real advantage is the form factor, and I'm waiting to see if they are durable as I see others complaining about scratches.As for the comfort, they're ok. They rely on being light, so the pressure on the nose is from a ridge with no padding, but being light, that doesn't seem to bother me. I also have their no-bow readers that just pressure clip to the nose, and those are good for what they are, but easily fall off if you move your nose at all or head very much, and they can be a little uncomfortable as they have a ground-glass like texture to prevent sliding. They could have done better with some more creative anti-slip materials, but the look of the readers are, to me, superior to the competition that have a softer nose piece, but look a bit goofy.Not sure I'd bother with these again over the Frontpage version as the "connect" purpose of these doesn't connect.

Love these glasses. Slim and compact. They fit great

Got to say, I've had a pair of Thin Optics stuck to my phone case for years. Then the glue stopped holding. Ordered a new Thin Optics and a new phone case (same one as last time). This time, the peel and stick glue would not hold to my phone. I took rubbing alcohol to clean the case. It still wouldn't stay stuck to my phone. I nexted tried super glue. It held last night, but fell off this AM.
