I've commented on Cuba Libra glasses before ... I LOVE THEM! I have 3 pairs now and still haven't spent anywhere near the amount of money I would have spent on one pair in a high street optician! Unlike other reviewers I do wear mine to work and far from the colours being too bright, they are in fact a talking point - everyone asks where I got them from. I love the fact that because they are so reasonably priced I can afford to have multiple pairs and co-ordinate my glasses with what I'm wearing. I find them very strong, but comfortable to wear and I love the integral bridge pieces - I push them on top of my head when I'm not reading and they don't get caught in my hair. The storage case is good too as its semi-transparent and I can easily see what colour glasses are stored inside. I've ordered on-line and rung the office - both were so easy to do, but I have to say the ladies I spoke to in the office were so friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Bad points? I can think of any except that I really wanted a pink pair next and you don't have pink anymore. Contact me immediately if you get pink ones back on the range!

I think they are so stylish, very strong yet very comfortable. I love the moulded/built-in bridge support - great when you push your glasses on top of your head like I do! Great colour choices - I bought 2 different colours! Terrific value for money - everyone comments on my 'cool' glasses and can't believe how little they cost me. I love my Cuba Libra glasses!

I haven't got one bad thing to say about them except when I decided to get another colour I wanted them IMMEDIATELY.

They don't fit in the glasses case properly
The arms hurt my head behind my ears which i've never expereinced and being plastic you can't bend the arms to fit snuggly around the back of your ears, so being medium-heavy they do slip down your nose all the time.
