Foster Grant mens Sawyer Multifocus Reading Glasses Rectangular Reading Glasses

These multifocal progressive glasses are exactly what I have been looking for. I am an author and I sit at my computer many hours each day. I wear contacts for distance vision but they leave me with little closeup vision. These Foster Grant glasses are perfect for me. I bought the 2.0 power version, which gives me 2.0x at the bottom, 1.5x in the middle, and 1.0 at the top. I look over the top of the glasses to see in the distance. There are no lines in these progressive lenses to interrupt my vision. I simply have to tilt my head up to get stronger magnification. The 1.0x part of the lens lets me sit from one to three feet away from my computer monitor, with perfect vision for writing my books. As I glance down at the keyboard, the 2.0x portion kicks in and makes all the keyboard keys nice and sharp. If I hold something up to look at it at arm's length, the 1.5x area makes arm's length vision very sharp. The progressive areas are wide enough to work well, without edge blurring. The quality of the frames and hard plastic lenses are exceptional, easily as good as any prescription glasses I've purchased. The hinges have the expansion springs that let you spread the frames apart without breaking them while you are putting the glasses on. The springs hold the glasses snugly against my face without squeezing too much. There is a mild tint on the lenses that seems to remove a touch of blue, warming up what you see a tad. Probably good for night reading. The full-size nose pieces are very comfortable and are adjustable by bending. For the price, these are the best reading glasses I have ever owned. I highly (and I mean highly) recommend these for writers, computer programmers, or anyone else who has to sit at a computer all day and needs a little magnification to aid aging eyes. I'm going to buy an extra pair of these to keep for the future, in case this particular frame style is discontinued some day. Great job, Foster Grant! Read more

Update few days later 3-8-24 The two sides of the glasses have a very small spot welded that holds the two pieces of metal together, and I was very disappointed that just from putting on the glasses, the right side broke right off. The spot weld is so small that you can clearly see it just wasn’t enough to hold it on. AMAZON gladly set up an exchange and is sending me a new pair and I will send these back, but it’s just a hassle of returning the item and I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again as I’ve purchased a few pairs of these to put all around the house. Will update again if they break again I’m hoping it just happened on the second pair that I ordered and it won’t happen again. My parents turned me on and gave me a 1.5 X pair of glasses for Christmas as cheaters and they are very comfortable. I ordered these because I’d like glasses throughout the house in each place I could be at and I love these new ones I ordered even more than the last pair. Beautiful frame, nice and sturdy. Definitely recommend Read more

Nice glasses, but scratch very easily.... Read more

I recently purchased multifocus reading glasses, and overall, they work well for their intended purpose. The ability to switch between different magnification levels is quite convenient and suits my needs. However, one drawback I've noticed is that there's a noticeable glare when I use them during the day, which can be distracting and affect my reading experience. On the positive side, this glare is much less pronounced when I use the glasses at night. In terms of durability, I haven't really put the scratch resistance of these multifocus reading glasses to the test because I handle them with care. However, it's worth noting that they haven't shown any visible scratches so far, which is a positive sign. Regarding comfort, while I've had lighter glasses in the past, these multifocus glasses are not uncomfortably heavy. I can wear them for extended periods without discomfort, making them suitable for long reading sessions. So, despite a few minor drawbacks like daytime glare, they are a reasonably comfortable and functional choice for multifocal glasses. Read more

These are my second (and third) pair of Foster Grant multifocus. For a person who just needs readers to combat standard age-related vision deterioration, I've noticed these are the smoothest progressive readers I've been able to get my hands on, and I'm through about 5 different makers already. These have the most usable transition from distance to reading, without notable blur along the way. The top is almost zero, but does exactly what I need for things 3-5 feet aways, while the bottom is perfect for reading my phone or something else up close. The problems start with the glare. As others have noticed, these definitely do not have any kind of anti-glare coating. When I use these on video calls, folks can pretty much see a mirror image of my computer screen. Other cheap non-progressives that I have are much better about this so it would've been nice if these had it. The other problem seems to be attention to detail on the packaging side. I've ordered the matte gunmetal version now twice, and both times received the black ones. Amazon was great about helping me out, but it looks like the manufacturer is actually packing the black ones in the gunmetal package, complete with the gunmetal SKU on it. I'm not about to order a third pair, so if I see Foster Grant in a store I'll see if the gunmetal version is there, but since Amazon thinks they're shipping me the right color, I can't really ask them for more help. I'm wearing the black ones now, but they're a bit too intense for my face. Would've liked to get my hands on the right color. Read more
