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.
