Incredibly useful - far better than wearing a chain or string glasses holder - they stay firmly round your neck when not being worn and don't knock into things. Quick to put on, comfortable to wear, wildly convenient - when wearing them I have been asked by total strangers - "where DID you get those brilliant specs?"!

I've been waiting for these glasses for 10 years, An accident damaged my nose and after many operations even the lightest glasses can be painful to wear for long. I'd stopped reading for pleasure but with Clic glasses I can balance them under my hair, they sit slightly off my nose I can read to my hearts content BLISS. Otherwise they look very good on and sit snug and safe round your neck when your not wearing them.

Only concern I have is not having a hard case to protect the business end. They are guite big and in the soft sack can get knocked about in your handbag or pocket

They sit comfortably around the neck when not in use but unlike "normal" glasses (when fitted with a cord) they do not hang so low that they get in the way. The frame "arms" continue around the head and thus they do not fall or slip off your head (or neck) on to the floor. They're the best reading glasses I've purchased, so good I bought a second pair to use as sunglasses.
-
When reaching up or stooping (to pick something up) the frames have a tendency to "pop" open but this is a very minor irritation and does not happen too often. The magnetic catch occasionaly manages to trap the fine hairs (on the surface of the skin) on the bridge of the nose, its more fleetingly uncofortable rather than painful. They do not fold down or pack away as small as conventional glasses. They're pretty much designed to be worn 99% of the time.

sometimes they will pop open if looking up, sometimes a visible gap is present on the joint while they are on. have to remember to move back on the arms rather than pushing the bridge as it just bends the lens in and you then have to re-adjust the glasses

Brilliant design - I put them round my neck in the morning and they're always there when I find myself squinting at a label, a recipe, washing instructions, pet medications, etc. And, unlike just wearing a pair of reading glasses on a cord, these don't dangle on your chest like a headmistress, nor do they knock into things when you bend over. Plus they are great conversation openers! Especially on the train and in the supermarket.

I am a sculptor and I am using these in my studio, where I need to take my glasses on and off all the time.
Unlike having glasses "on string", these rest higher up so don't dangle in my work or, get caught on stuff.
There isn't the wear and tear on the hinges/arms and I don't catch bits in them either. I chose the red ones, which are a great colour.
-
The arms are very long; although a hair dryer soon fixed that; it's a usual problem as I have a very small head. I also would have prefered a soft string back, but these really are minor points. Oh! One needs to keep one's eyebrows plucked as the magnet can trap an unruly hair and that's painful!

You need time to adjust to getting used to the band around your head

I never lose my glasses. I never put them in my pocket and scratch them. They get noticed! They start conversations! They don't feel 'dowdy' or unfashionable as ordinary specs on a chain do.

My first pair have developed a rather lose adjustment on one side that is annnoying at times. Howevever this han't happned [yet] with my second pair.

Good: The glasses are adjustable for reach and also the angle of each lens with respect to the arm of the frame.
-
Bad: The frame is quite narrow/not adjustable for width around the head and, even with a small head, they can pop apart if you have to look up to see something (this makes the muscles along the side of your head expand - go on, try it!).
Bad: The lenses have a lot of clear air both above and below the rims.

The design has incorporated from the beginning the idea of the glasses being rested around the neck when not in use.

Until you get used to them, the glasses can nip the nose at the magnetic connection

Utterly practical. I absolutely love them.
Apart form anything else, they are almost as good as a baby or puppy for starting a conversation with a stranger. I almost wish I was 24 again!

I could do with a couple of extra 'clicks' on the side arm adjustment as my hat size is XXL!!
A wider choice of styles would be nice.

a brilliant idea - the only problem is that you have to wear them over your hair, and ears, and it makes them a bit tight. if you wear them under your hair they sit too high. no solution to this, really. but they are so useful, and light, i forget they're round my neck and i look for them! i hang them up on a hook in the kitrchen when not wearing them.

Love the fact I never lose my glasses any more

downside is they can easily get smudged lenses when handling them but it is worth it!

Colour ,inivotive design, Wow factor. I recommend them to all my freinds who use (and loose) reading glasses

Ithought the design would be good to keep them on whilst doing back flips as part of a longsword dance... unfortunately flexing my head backwards releases the magnetic catch!!!

tendency to come apart when bending over; a slightly stronger magnet would help

I haven't lost them yet!
I put on and take off my glasses frequently. A cord kept them around my neck but I was always bending them out of shape; if I pushed them up on to my head they got caught up in my hair; I ended up balancing them on my chin - OK for me but not a pretty sight for everyone else!
-
They are a bit heavier than my other glasses and I do end up with marks on my nose.
I would like to see them in "prettier" shapes.
I can't always get them to fit properly when I have my hair up.

AS someone who needs varifocals for reading and distance but can't read the computer with glasses these are ideal, especially as I deal with complicated specialist paperwork. They hang round my neck without dangling or tangling and don't fall down the nose as easily as ordinary glasses. Don't get lost in the files on the desk!
