+++: The soft metal nose bridge with rubber makes all the difference for fit and comfort!++: motion adjustment stoppers don't wear out easily, like other designs+: does not use weak coincell batteries. But could use 2 AA, instead o 3 AAA batteries. AA are easier to get/reuse.-: have not run into any minus yet. I love it so far!=========================================================================Oct 2022 Update:I have two of these type that I've bought at different times. After years of use, I came to learn how to take better care of them. Yes, I know, nowadays nothing lasts forever, but one can feel otherwise. So here is my experience and how to avoid it: After long sustained use, the side arms would break. This plastic will stress from so much use, that eventually it will break right before the end adapter, to change from side ears to the elastic band. The issue seems to be caused by the end user, intuitively trying to 'open' the side arms right before placing it on the head. To make these glasses last, one has to consciously NOT-OPEN the arms at all (the stiff arms are mean to provide some slight pressure to the head to stay in place). It should be possible to make them last, and I could provide feedback if I bought replacements, but I immediatly fixed them as they broke. Both of my units broke after over two years of use, and I plan to use them until their plastic lenses are not longer clear (Lol). In any case, I don't know if this is because of a poor or oversight in the design, or if it's just part of design-obsolescence (meaning the unit is not supposed to last this long, and therefore there is no need to make the side arms comply with stronger bending-stress requirements).Hope this helps. I still like these glasses , now better than before, because I can still continue to use them (it was fairly easy to fix, and for that, I thank the designer)BTW, I used a soldering iron to heat metalic staples. One repair has regular paper staples, the one in the photo has the bigger staples used for cardboard, etc. The one in the picture was fixed backwards, as I should have inserted the staple from the inside instead, to minimize the arm giving to outward force.

This is a very good idea and I use it always to paint my minis and terrain for D&D, as my eyesight is awful. The only thing that keeps it from getting a 5 star review is the weight of the glasses themselves. It makes the item very heavy and the larger glasses tend to come loose from the frame if bumped in any way. That won't keep me from using them, but it's something to think about if you have a sensitive nose, it can be uncomfortable.

I wear glasses for astigmatism, which means I need to wear the glasses while using a magnifier. I had to remove the nose bridge (two small screws) and the over-ear arms (simple snap fit) to avoid interference with my glasses. It comes with an elastic band that snaps in where the over-ear arms go, and has a rubberized forehead rest. This made it trivially easy to fit the magnifier just above my glasses, with the magnifier dropping down in front.It stays in place with no wiggling. The elastic band is comfortable and make it easy to put the magnifier on or take it off. It stays put, even as you adjust the position of the magnifying lens. I previously tried a head-mounted magnifier with a firm plastic headband, but it just didn't fit, and always fell on my glasses.The built-in LED light is surprisingly bright. I have a well lit desk, but leaning over my projects (electronics), I sometimes cast a shadow. The LED provides enough light to eliminate the shadows, and even provide more light than my overhead lights.There are two hinges that allow you to adjust the height and distance of the magnifier, relative to your eyes. I found it easy to adjust the position for a good view.It comes with five lenses for different magnification levels. You snap in one lens at a time to the black piece that hangs just above and your eyes. The optical quality is good; I didn't notice any eye strain while using the product. The lenses come in a sturdy, hard plastic case that keeps them protected while not in use. It would be nice if the lenses were a little larger, for a larger field of view, but that's just a minor quibble.

These lenses have saved me a thousand times over already and I'm considering getting another pair for the man of the house as well.I bought these because I tat and crochet snowflakes, super fine thread with super fine needles and my eyes just aren't the best in the world for this craft. Throughout the day, I have had to switch glasses because one minute they're not strong enough but the next they are, so I had several pairs of glasses I would use as I tatted and crocheted. These glasses are an absolute godsend!I was surprised to see that the lenses themselves are on the small size, but once you start concentrating on what you're working on, you don't really notice it. They are on the slightly heavy size, so I have to adjust them several times but considering what they're saving me, I don't mind at all. Switching out the lenses is super fast and easy, just pop one set off and put in another, it takes just a few seconds. The added bonus of having a good, strong LED light is the best and I use it all the time.I love the added strap as well, if I'm having a particularly hard time keeping my glasses on my face, I can just change out the ear pieces and slip on the strap. I switch a lot depending on my mood and they show no signs of giving out anytime soon.If you're into filet crochet or tatting, these are the lenses to get. Why I didn't buy these sooner is beyond me, I LOVE them!

Took a bit to get the right magnification and working with the distance i need to work. It takes a while to get use to.

This item is useful when you need something magnified it makes a lot easier to see the tricky things that I cant see I wouldn't do. The built in light lights up the work youre doing and they are a lightweight very easy to use

Does the job, easy to change lenses, great for close-up work , easy to store just brilliant for all craft work

I am amazed at what I got for so little in price. Absolutely perfect for what I needed and very comfortable with the head strap or the glasses arms.

Excellent for the use to be able to see definition with sewing in these dark early nights.

Everything as stated,very good.
