+ I LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE TO WEAR, NICE AND LIGHT SO I DON'T FEEL THEM WHEN I'M WEARING THEM. THEY LOOK GOOD FOR MY FACE, AND ALSO LOOK ALMOST INVISIBLE FROM A DISTANCE. THEY DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF MY PERIPHIAL VISION AND I CAN WEAR THEM ALL DAY WITHOUT FEELING BESPECTACLED.

- THEY COULD DO WITH BEING FITTED A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER SO THEY DON'T SLIDE DOWN MY NOSE BUT THAT ISN'T TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM.

+ These glasses are exactly as described in the catalogue. I cannot find any reason to fault them.

- My only disappointment, and it is purely personal, is that this particular design does not incorporate flexi hinges.

+ Light and comfortable. I like quite a large lens as I get annoyed by the rims. These fit the bill. Attractive colour.

- They don't have "special" hinge that opens out a little. it makes them a little less comfortable. I knew this when I bought them.
