Hubeye TR90 Sports Reading Glasses for Men and Women Square...

Most Helpful Review

"Like many things in the aging process when you are younger you don’t really believe it will happen to you. Then you hit your 50’s and all sorts of stuff starts breaking down.I now need to carry a pair ‘off-the shelf 1.5 magnification reading glasses everywhere to support my prescription vary-focal glasses.When you get to this phase ( and you will… ) one pair is not enough.One in the kitchen for those labels, one in the living room for when your iphone receives a message, one next to the bed for late night reading, one in the car just in case, one in your sports bag etc etc.The REALLY annoying thing is reading glasses like this seemed designed to make you look silly.After lots of searching I have had to settle on Michael Cain 1970’s / Clark Kent black plastic or1990 intimidating East German Dentist half rimmed angular look.This is the Michael Cain 1970’s look.Since manufacturers want to sell to both genders each model I looked at tends to looks a bit odd.Wavy angles, hook corners or thick Auntie Dot plastic you can try to wear ironically are common.I would never pick them in place of my Tom Cruise Aviator style glasses I have been wearing since the 1980’s. I agree with another reviewer you cannot wear them for cycling, playing squash or even backgammonThey do however work as reading glasses. They are cheap. Magnification comes in many degrees.The plastic is a bit bendy and will survive being dropped behind things and among things with no difficulty. They also have the comfort bridge for the nose which to me has always been – well more comfortable. The bridge spreads the weight over a wider area without leaving red blotches on your nose. I don’t think these glasses are anywhere near as good as proper prescription glasses for computer work. I think I will use them for making sure there is something in my pocket when out and about.Thankfully my hearing is going as well so when I put them on in the shops to read the E-Numbers on a packet of mashed potato I can’t hear anybody saying how nerdy they look."
