Foster Grant Foster Grant Assorted Reading Glasses, 10 Pairs

I am getting older (just turned 50 a month ago) and I have noticed a big change in my vision in the last year. I have prescription glasses that help me see far away, especially when I am driving at night, but I like to bead jewelry and I definitely needed help to improve my vision to be able to do that. I saw my ophthalmologist for a thorough check up 2 months ago and my eyes are healthy. I do have an astigmatism. He suggested I take my driver’s license into Walmart and hold it at the distance I usually actually bead and see what strength helped see the clearest at that distance. If I continued to struggle to see properly when I am beading then I could return to him and get a script for bifocals. He said trying the readers would be much more affordable- if they work. Because I bead at different focal distances, depending on what I am doing, I thought this assortment was a great, affordable idea that would allow me to have whatever strength I needed depending on the project I was doing. Most of these glasses were cute enough I would easily wear them out and about. 2 pairs came with a simple protective sleeve you could use on most of the glasses to protect them. There was one pair of glasses (2.00 strength branded Betsy Johnson) that would not fit into either of the protective sleeves. My biggest disappointment regarding them, and the reason I deducted a star, was because I received 2 different pairs of glasses that were the same strength. I was hoping for 1 of each strength, but the product description does not guarantee that you will not see more than one of each strength so it is not like they did anything wrong. I received the following glasses- 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2 pairs of the 1.75 strength, 2 pairs of the 2.00 strength, 2.25, 2.50, and 3.25. I do wish I had gotten one of either the 2.75 or 3.0 strengths so I did not have such a big step between the 2.5 and 3.25 strengths. My husband is a little older than me and uses readers also. He has already worn 2.25 strength for a couple of years so he will possibly need to step up to a little stronger strengths in the near future. I think we often get used to whatever glasses we have on hand and just keep wearing them. If you start doing a new project and your glasses seem off it is smart to see if you need a different strength even just temporarily for that project. For the most part, all of glasses are pretty comfortable. 7 pairs I received were plastic framed and 3 were wire framed. All of them were in good condition. None of the lenses or frames were broken and nine of the lenses were scratched. I did have to adjust each pair a little to get them sit on my face correctly. My husband has a much larger head than I do and all except one pair fit comfortably on him as well. The description for these glasses said they are all Foster Grants brands. Of the ones I received, one pair had absolutely no identifying brand, one pair was branded Betsy Johnson, and 2 pairs were branded LRI Sight. These other brands may be under the Foster Grants brand but I could not immediately find that out with a quick google search. The other 6 pairs were clearly labeled Foster Grants. I feel like all of these glasses could easily be worn by men or women. My favorite part? I paid $19.38 USD for all 10 pairs. So right at $2.00 per pair. I could not beat that price anywhere I looked. No way could I have paid any less for the quality of the glasses I received. This is an awesome deal on Amazon. I would honestly be shocked if someone could find a better deal anywhere else.

Every pair were 2.0. I needed the variety to figure out which strength would allow me to see my computer screen at work. None of these will work. I need a lower strength. I am very disappointed.

They were all in good condition and all of them have quality frames and lenses.
Buying these one at a time would cost $150-$200 so you cant beat the price.
There are no tags or stickers on them so you don’t know what the magnification on them are, you just have to try them and guess.

I just received these a few minutes ago and I am really pleased! I had double cataract surgery in the past month and my vision changes daily. Every few days I was buying a new pair of readers at the drug store and felt like I was throwing money away when they didn’t work after a few days. So, I thought I’d try this. I received a good, mixed selection from +1 to +3. Even a pair of sunglasses! And look how cute the frames are. I feel confident these will get me through my cataract healing journey until I can be fitted for ‘real’ glasses again. Definitely would buy again!
