ThinOptics Reading Glasses

I bought two pairs for my husband, and he absolutely loves them! They’re super lightweight, compact, and so comfortable to wear. I was so impressed that I ordered seven more pairs to give as gifts — and every single friend loved them too! Fantastic quality, great value, and highly recommended!

These well-made glasses and case have eliminated the frustration of always having to resort to less than elegant ways to carry reading glasses with me. Typical glasses are too bulky for pockets and inevitably get scratched up from whatever else gets tossed in there. Using one of the temples to hang the glasses on a pocket or shirt collar might work short-term but I always forget they're there after a while and often end up taking them places I wish I didn't (like in a car with the shoulder belt pinching them against me). Taking them out of pockets or from hanging on a shirt also often enough involves the hinges getting tangled up in fabric threads. First world problems? Sure. But it would be good if, instead of having several pairs of reading glasses strategically placed where I'll need them to avoid the portability problem, I can own one pair and safely, conveniently carry them wherever, even backpacking. This pair is that one pair I need. Plus, the optical quality is quite good, no distortion near the periphery, and they don't seem to get scratched. The case fits them like a glove and I hardly notice it's there in my pocket, it's so thin. Probably bombproof, but I haven't run that test yet. The pin for the hinge is a little loose and can start slipping out, but that hasn't created a real problem yet. Last thing, they rest very light on the nose, so no marks means they get the highest marks.

Super cute and so thin. Easy to carry anywhere

I've been a ThinOptics fan since I attached the clip-on style to the back of my cell phone. That meant I always had readers available for looking at a restaurant's menu or reading small type on my phone. The only negatives were that the glasses were not comfortable for long use and it made the wireless charging on my phone a little wonky. It didn't work at all on some chargers and you had to position it just right on others. That's why I was glad to see the new full sized readers in a magnetic case come out. These lightweight readers are VERY light and comfortable. The case is thin and holds the glasses in perfect position. While it's not easy to open the case (the previous ones just slid out and was held by friction), it is not a deal-breaker. The big issue is the magnet that holds it to the phone. Apparently, wireless charging takes place through a glass back on the phone. Accordingly, the case does not adhere via magnet very well. In fact, it barely holds on to the case. Lastly, the case is very large and covers the camera of my Note 8. I wasn't too concerned about that because I could slide the case off my phone before taking a picture. Of course, if you have to adhere the case with double-sided tape, the camera would be permanently blocked. Other than that, the glasses are great. If you have a phone with a metal back or want to adhere it to something else, it will be great. I'm going to carry it in my pocket next to my wallet. While it's not as convenient as having it permanently attached to my phone, it is more comfortable to use.

If you’re wanting readers that can fit easily in your purse or pocket, these are great for that. I was pleasantly surprised by their size, as I have a narrow face and was worried that they’d be too big/wide. They are very close to the size of my prescription glasses as seen in the photos. They fit me perfectly. But not sure that they’d fit everyone. I added the measurement so that you can measure your current glasses and compare if they’d be the right size for you. They don’t slide down on my face either. They feel kind of fragile to me, but I think that’s the nature of these. The circular part of the frame seems to be made of plastic. I just make sure to be careful when I bring them anywhere. But, what I love the best is the case. It’s sturdy for what it is and keeps the reading glasses safe. I ordered Brown and was sent Clear. So took photos of both. The Clear ones were also “used”, there were finger prints on the glass part (see green arrow). Also the part that goes over the ear was slightly bent and couldn’t be straightened. I returned those. I reordered the Brown and kept those. You can stick them in one of your pockets, if you don’t want to bring a purse and are only bringing a phone to a restaurant, etc. I like they fit easily in a small cross-body purse. I looked at other brands, but couldn’t find anything that was this low profile and had a case as nice as this one.

The pair I received was very obviously used as they were quite bent out of shape. The case had already been used as there was a lot of the adherence left behind from previously being stuck to a phone case, etc. I paid a decent sale price for them, so I suppose that's the luck of the draw, but I don't dislike these. I don't love these, either. I wanted to love them. I really looked forward to trying them. I was stoked to have some super sturdy readers that were as thin as paper. I'm just slightly underwhelmed by them. They do work, not hard to use, and I can read, that's not the issue. I think they just don't feel like they should be a $30 pair of readers. Conceptually, this is awesome. Super flat, super thin, super indestructible. Perhaps I purchased a pair that are not as high of quality as some other types they sell. Perhaps I got some that are so used, they just don't have that "feel" to them. I can see these getting scratches quite easily, I will make every attempt to baby them and see how long they last....

These thin optics reading glasses are exceptional. Lightweight beautiful case to keep them in. I’m buying another pair.

Great design, a bit fragile while handling, but case hinges broke after two weeks

Nice and very useful and very handy

Bons e práticos. O que necessitava.

llego a tiempo y el producto es muy bueno pero en comparación a otros q ya había comprado estos están defectuosos del estuche. Se están desprendiendo ambas tapas

Not practical or even minimally durable it breaks easily .
