Computer Glasses

I first got a pair of these about 5 years ago at my eye doctor's office. Because I have bifocals it's hard to read my computer screen without either sitting way back or sticking my nose in the screen. Plus I have cataracts that are not operable yet so my ability to see anything fluctuates. These make seeing my computer screen so much easier.There are a couple of drawbacks with the Peekers that folks need to be aware of. They're clear plastic. Great for seeing through, but not so great when one accidentally drops them or knocks them onto the floor and trying to find them before stepping on them. Broke my first pair when they fell onto the floor. Didn't see them until after I stepped on them and broke the bridge. Hadn't even had them 6 months. I tried marking them with a Sharpie permanent marker to make them more visible, but eventually it all rubbed off.With the second pair I was more careful. If they fell on the floor I looked for them BEFORE moving my feet. They lasted 4 1/2 years. They only broke because my dog stepped on them. More on that in a moment.Also because the Peekers are clear I would lose them on my desk. My fiance finally suggested I tie string or ribbon on them and wear them around my neck. So I got enough ribbon to go around my neck and over my head, then I tied the ribbon to either end of the Peekers. Now I just slip the ribbon over my head and they're always available when I need to see something on the computer.Only drawback with having them on the ribbon is that we have a very active Jack Russell Terrier who likes to climb on me. One day she did just after I had taken my Peekers off to play with her, and she stepped on the bridge..... snap. So when I ordered a new pair I a second pair... as a backup.Another thing. Because of where the Peekers are worn, between your regular glasses and your eyes, I suggest you get a microfiber lens cleaning cloth to get off any oils that can accumulate from your eyelids, lashes, and fingers onto the lenses. Because of my developing cataracts any extra fogginess is a problem, so I'm always cleaning my Peekers.Bottom line: if you take care of them and be aware of where they land on the floor, because you Will drop them at least once, they will last a long time and keep you seeing your computer screen for a long time.

These glasses are just wonderful. They're really not a pair of traditional glasses. They're just a piece of plastic that aides the top part of your bifocals to be of the same strength as the lower part. You just slipped them on top of your glasses between your eyes and your glasses. They can do this b/c their winged platform ends rest on top of the temples of your glasses. Now you don't have to tilt your head back and keep looking out of the bottom of your bifocals. You can look out the top part at your computer screen or sheet music or whatever close up work you need to do just like normal. B/c they are plastic they're very light weight. You almost don't feel the weight of 'em. However there is a little drawback to using them straight out of the box. B/c they're so light weight you can easily knock them off your glasses if you hit your glasses too hard when you try to push them back up your nose b/c they slid down too far. But this can be easily remedied. Along with the glasses comes a piece of literature that offers to sell you some specially made adhesive pads or something so they'll stay affixed to your glasses unless you intentionally remove them or have some violent impact or something. Anyway since they're not traditional glasses the fashioned conscious might not want to wear them out in public.

First, let me say the company's service is really nice. The first one of these that I ordered came without the actual lenses in the package. Not sure what went wrong, but thankfully they believed me and sent a replacement (and rather quickly). That service will pay off because I plan to purchase a second pair as a backup. These are truly great computer glasses.I'm in my 50s and have had glasses since 3rd grade. My prescription is in the minus 8 range, so I'm blind enough to have something credible to say about products of this kind. I've tried the clip-on magnifiers before, but they get heavy and clutsy, and the lens quality has never been particularly great. When I ran across these, I thought I'd give them a try.They are comfortable and fit well and, most of all, as others have said, they work. I've had prescription computer/reading glasses before, and I wish I'd known about these before spending hundreds of dollars on those. I like especially that these do not have the usual distortion that so many types of over-the-counter lenses have.I agree with others that I'd like to have more than a soft case, since travel could end up breaking these. But that's my only complaint. If you're looking for a way to enhance your computer vision without sacrificing quality and a ton of money, give these a try!
