These Six-Pack Premium Feather Flex Non-Prescription Reading Glasses are outstanding. They come in 12 strengths, which makes it so convenient to order your specific strength, and more importantly, for you to have that variety in the future if your lens strength changes either up or down. The price is so good for the six-pack, I actually order extras beyond the six-pack to put them in every room in my home, at work, in my vehicles, and even family and close friends' homes. For me, having several six-packs has ensured I don't misplace my reading glasses like I used to. This six-pack configuration comes in a variety of colors as you’ll see on the Amazon description, so each day you can have fun choosing the color that suits your personality or outfit. There is a custom-sized snap-shut case that comes with each pair, and the matching color is on each end of the transparent case. The cases are well made. As for the glasses’ appearance and functionality, they are so good looking and are constructed well. They are not flimsy, or too tiny, or too big or heavy or irritating. They are just right—great looking and stylish, rectangular in shape, with a wonderful fit. The colored glasses have their colors on the side arms, end tips, and bridge. Because the side arms are flexible, they are extremely comfortable, including the nose pads, and again, they are lightweight. You'll forget you are wearing them until you get a compliment, and I do. In their cases, they take up little room in a briefcase, or a very small handbag, or most pockets, or however you want to carry them. They are “user-friendly.” By the way, one pair of readers in this specific configuration is color-less and completely transparent, which I love. Just so you know, this wonderful seller also offers "singles" on the same site if you do not want a pre-determined six-pack configuration, so you can choose singles of your choice in color and strength and amount. I just received a few six-packs, but have also ordered some singles in a few favorite colors and I am awaiting arrival of those. I want to add that this seller is a professional as are the products. You will also appreciate how carefully packaged they come to you, and great care is given to protect them in shipment. I actually keep any extras inside the small box they are shipped in. Outstanding glasses.I bought a sixpack of these years ago and just purchased another. I've tried many types of cheap readers and these are my favorite. The part that hooks over your ear is really flexible, which is super comfortable for lazy people like me who like to read in bed or lay their head on a pillow whilst reading. It retains its shape. The readers are lightweight and the nosepads are adjustable/replaceable. You can take the frames apart and put them back together with a tiny screwdriver, for cleaning or replacement parts. Love the assorted colors too.The one thing I don't like is the lack of durability in the materials. I've had a couple where the nose bridge simply snapped in half. And most of them inevitably fall apart when the tiny bolts no longer hold in the tiny screws. The tiny screws get stripped very easily. I suppose a drop of superglue might work but why not just use higher quality parts. That said I probably put them through more wear and tear than average.tldr; lightweight with comfortable, flexible earpieces = outweigh durability problems.glasses have flexible temples. This might be Ok (or not). Each pair is in a nice clear plastic snap case. Not strong, but handy for awhile. That set is also packaged in an individual zip lock bag. There is a lightweight glasses holder to hold a pair around your neck. There is also a screwdriver that maybe handy but there aren't any screws, but there are some small odd clear plastic pieces.And a lens cleaning cloth. The most interesting thing is that with all this nice packaging- every! - lens on every pair of glasses is filthy, with clear finger prints and smudges. In this time of super cleanliness I wondered whether I should even try a pair on - maybe they have China or Covid germs!!!!!Will keep them to see how well flexible temples wear and feel! and see if I can clean the lenses of all pairs.Pros:I liked all the colors I received & I've already stashed them all over the house, even the car! They're pretty sturdy for the price & if you read the directions you'll see exactly how to use them in order to extend their lives. As for the clarity, it's awesome! This is a new strength for me & it seems like I truly did to upgrade!Cons:I didn't like the fact that they arrived dirty. Each case & set of glasses needed to be washed in soap & hot water because there was a greasy-like substance on each pair. You couldn't miss it on the cases!As I was cleaning, I noticed almost all of the little protective rubber caps on the screws were missing. I don't think one pair had all 4 of them on it.The bag with the tools & extra bits & pieces, had no extra screws, which can be lost very easily, & none of those rubber caps you have over the screws.These glasses are so light and so transparent that I forget that I have them on. The only drawback being that they can disappear on a table too. I can see without these being the dominant feature of my face. Perfect! To my surprise they have held up even being stuffed into my purse. I recommend a tiny drop of clear polish to keep the screws at the temple from backing out and coming off. They are so tiny you'll not see it coming till the arm falls off. Only happened on a couple of mine out of 6 pairs, but totally preventable and nothing new to glasses wearers. Great price to have a pair in every room of the house.They are a comfortable fit and are lightweight, and when spending hours reviewing documents for genealogy research this is important to me.My vision fluctuates as a result of diabetes, so it helps to have several strengths of reading glasses available to not cause eye strain and with several different strengths it is great to have the option of affordable, stylish glasses.Couldn't give a five-star rating as I have only used this pair once. That said, I am hoping to purchase several other strengths when I can fit it into my budget (on a fixed income, so budgeting for extras takes a little planning)
