Cost, just.
I bought these thinking they would be similar to a pair I purchased from you about 4 years ago.
Unfortunately you no longer do that model and these are an inferior product.
-
The glasses are too wide and you get reflections from behind on the lens which is distracting.
They do not have sprung hinges as my old pair did.

The arms need adjusting - how do I do this?
i.e. can I bend them myself? bearing in mind I do not want to break them.

Don, Salisbury , “Active reluctant glasses user.”
Score 7.0/10+ Appearance, weight, size (of lenses)
- Fragile. I only use the glasses for reading/computer work and so need to keep the the glasses in my pocket when not in use. I lead an active outdoor life when at home, but need the glasses to hand for any close work. The glasses often take pressure in the pocked (normally breast pocket) which slightly bends the bridge. The glasses are fragile to re-bend back into shape.

Score 10.0/10+ Light, comfortable and a lot less obvious to look at than conventional glasses, even with a thick lens.I didn't go for the thinnest lenses available even though my pescription is quite high but it's not a problem.

Elisabeth, London
Score 3.0/10+ The design is pretty much as expected (i. e. very good)
- but there is something wrong with the vision. The lenses as confirmed by the paperwork accompanying the glasses were as per the specification provided by my optician but (I assume due to the distance between the eyes and the glasses) the sense of 'wooziness' which often happens with new glasses (I've had many over the last 30 years) doesn't go away so that it feels like relief when I take the glasses off.
