Vintage Round Reading Glasses Professor Readers

My husband looks very official in these.

Perfect. I bought them for a 1920's dinner party. I use reading glasses for anything close up and knew I would want them when sitting at the table. I got the 1.5 strength. It's just what I need.

First off, these are excellent readers if you have a smaller face. If you have a wide face, you should probably look for something with a wider frame. With that out of the way, you get a lot for your $$$ here:* stylish frame (obviously personal preference)* spring hinges* accurate magnification* no chromatic aberration (images stay un-distorted all the way to the edges)* a surprisingly good hard case, not some flimsy plastic pouch* two cleaning cloths* a soft, snug, cloth bag for the frames that can be used alone or inside the hard caseI often see people complain that their readers are flimsy. I suspect this is because they constantly take their readers on and off and readers are....readers -- they're not made of iron. So if you're rough on these they will probably break like others, but they strike me as reasonably durable if treated with care.If you want readers that will be quite durable but will cost you a bit more, Foster sells readers with hinges that flex every which way and are made of metal. I have a pair of those and they are definitely difficult to break. They also look more dorky. Anyway, different product. For the money, these are excellent, I'd definitely get them again.

these were ordered partly for a specific costume i am making, and partly for regular use as there is (finally) a term for my preferred style of daily dress: 'history-bounding'. so now i know! the spectacles are ridiculously cute. they look vintage enough to work with my costume, and seamlessly go with my regular clothing. they are clear, with good magnification, and function perfectly well for my small print/details needs. i chose 1.75 strength, and they seem exactly on target for that. the frames are smoothly finished and a pleasing shade of faux tortoiseshell. if they hold up to regular use, i shall be very happy with them indeed.points for other shoppers: because these are vintage style, the lenses are quite small. those who expect or need full coverage for the eyes to read without strain should take this into consideration. for me, it's not a problem, and shouldn't be if the main use of these glasses is minor, occasional magnification. YMMV, of course.not a problem for me, because i have a small (child-sized!) head, is the overall size of the frames...they are small! they fit me perfectly, and for that reason i can be sure that others out there would find these ludicrously tiny and possibly too tight for comfort. for younger folk, and for people like me---mainly very small-framed women or very narrowly-made gents---they work a treat. i'm very happy with them.

These are exactly what I wanted. I have a very narrow face and wanted tiny glasses. Some frames that are attached to this order are bigger. Note there are different sized to choose. Perfect size for me.

Love them,,,nice an light,,,,❤️

I love, love, love, my terrific new, cool looking😎, round, reading glasses! They are so light weight and comfortable I actually forget I’mwearing them. I fell asleep reading last night,I woke up this morning laying on my book, with my new glasses smushed against my face! I thought Oh! No! I’ve ruined my great new glasses!! But, no! They are so sturdy they were still just like new! I’ll be ordering more of these because I like to keep a pair in my car, my purse, my Son’s house, and at home in at least three places for convince. I can see so much better with the lens in these too! Truly the best glasses I’ve ever had and I’ve purchased dozens over the years! Thank you so, so much for the excellent, stylish, sturdy, and comfortable glasses! I hope they are available in a variety of colored frames, I love the black but want to expand my wardrobe! Many thanks again!Best WishesDiann

I thought these would be the same as similar-looking glasses I have bought from Amazon: The kind with round lenses and and an upward-pointing v-shaped nose bridge. However, the lenses on these are MUCH bigger than the lenses on the similar glasses i bought from another manufacturer. They are larger, and also not perfectly round. They are slightly oval, with the long axis of the oval pointing up and down -- in other words, the oval is taller than it is wide. To my eyes, that just looks weird and ugly. Also, the way the glasses sit on my face, I'm looking through the top half of the oval, while the bottom half extends uselessly and weirdly way down over my cheeks.On the plus size, the frames are sturdy and made of a decently attractive material, and the magnifying lenses in the glasses seem to work fine.
