Clip and Flip 2x Power Magnifying Lens (OD-14)

These are my "hangnail or splinter" glasses (also good for reading the print on tiny pill bottles). The flip up / flip down feature is very useful for me, and works well. I never needed any such thing until last year when I had my cataracts removed which also removed my extreme nearsightedness. These aren't as good as my original eyeballs, but they're good enough to get by 95% of the time. (The other 5% I take a picture with my phone and enlarge it enough to see).

These are so good for me that I bought three extra sets, as I keep putting things down & can't find them when I want them. I have the new lousy fancy eye glasses that I realty hate, but with my eyes being so bad, the sellers claim that normal glasses would be too heavy for me to wear. The nose piece is about 1/16" thick, so the clips fit over the bracket. My lenses are only 1" from top of the frame to the bottom, & the magnifying lens are 1 1/2" , which means that if I push the clip all the way down to the glass frame, the nose piece & the lens create pressure & are uncomfortable to wear, so I just barely hook them on to the nose piece & I use both hands when I flip the glasses up or down, which helps them from falling off. For someone that is active, this won't be too good as they will bounce off, but, as I am only reading while sitting, the glasses don't fall off. These are only good for working up close or reading up close, which means that they won't be of any use to make out checks or trying to use the computer or other similar projects. For me, they have made my reading more enjoyable, but as we all have different eye problems, these might not work for others. The quality of the glasses and the frames are very good, which is a surprise, as they came from China. Look for price & shipping. +JMJ+

They work out great a must for fishing knots.

For the price these rate a 1 for the following: THe all important clip that attaches to the glasses is made of some cheap plastic. Mine arrived broken on one side. As soon as I operated the lever to open these so as to attach to my glasses one of the prongs on one side snapped. I did detect some 'stickage' as I operated these but did not apply undue force whilst opening. I suspect one of the prongs-pads had some residue on it that caused it to stick somewhat. After studying these for a few minutes I determined they are unworthy of keeping as the plastic is not of the sturdy kind but of some cheap material that is easily cracked/broken. Especially if it is cold (say below 60F). Amazon rates a 10 as I have the return labels in hand already for a refund. I'd not buy these if I was you. Look elsewhere. For the 12 bucks or so you deserve a better quality item. P.S. The magnification on these is very hard to detect. WIth my eyes and my eyeglasses the focal range was about at 2 feet with perhaps an inch of usable depth. The magnification was really useless IMO and even if they had not been broken I'd have returned these. Buyer would probably be better off going to local ChinaMadeMart and look thru the selection of clip-ons there and find a magnification range they want.

These clip-ons are offered at a great price, and I've found they really do help a lot for reading, threading a needle, etc. But -- one huge problem is the little cushions on the prongs fall off, and there's no way to keep the clip-ons clipped to your regular glasses once the clip-ons' cushions are lost. And they do get lost. I just ordered my third pair of these, partly because the cushions fall off, and I don't realize it until I find that the clip-ons start to slide off my regular glasses. With my second pair of these, I tried wrapping the prongs with black electrical tape (after the cushions disappeared). This worked for a while. However, the tape eventually tends to unwrap itself. Also, it leaves sticky residue on your regular glasses. And, finally, the tape makes the clip-ons even harder to get onto your regular glasses (after all, those of us who buy these things are half-blind, right? How are we supposed to clip these on a pair of reading glasses -- when we need them AND the reading glasses in order to do the job?). Anyway, here's what I've decided to do with my third pair of these once I get them. Recently I bought a glue gun for the first time. This thing really works -- just a minute drop of glue adheres things to other things like nobody's business. So I'm going to remove all four cushions from my third pair of clip-ons and drop a bit of glue-gun glue in each, and then slap them back on their prongs. Hopefully this will solve the problem. Oh -- also, don't drop these clip-ons. I remember now that the other reason I ordered my second pair of them was that I dropped the first pair on the floor -- and they broke in two. With all these problems you might wonder why I'm still buying these glasses. It's because they really do help with seeing small things. And the price is very, very right.

These things are great for attaching to safety glasses, or at least the type I wear. I even hot glued a plastic "u" shaped bracket to my 3m full face clean air mask so I could use one on it too. I'm 73 and cannot see up close anymore and these things work in so many conditions. You can also slap them onto a pair of reading glasses and get some super magnification when needed. I find anything over 1.5x to be too much to walk around wearing them flipped down. But that's just me. Be careful... x power and diopter are NOT the same thing.

They do what they are supposed to do. Work very well and fit nicely on to my sunglasses

I use these for modelmaking, and find them utterly indispensable. I hate using head-mounted magnifiers as I find them bulky, uncomfortable and annoying. Also, if I am filming my work and working close up to the model, all the camera sees is a big derpy magnifier getting in the way. Also they can be a pain when already wearing glasses. These flip magnifiers are a great solution for glasses-wearers as they simply clip on to the frame and are good to go. They way virtually nothing and can be flipped up out of the way in an instant. Because they are not a bog honking visor thing you will not get headaches or bang into the bench lights every five minutes and can quickly flip them to look at things away from the bench. The 4 dioptre lenses are perfect for me to be able to see tiny details either close up, or - when I am filming/streaming - well enough from a foot away that I can work without getting my head in shot all the time. Designed for fishing but perfect for any tiny hobby.

Los uso para pintar detalles con pincel y me son muy útiles. Muy cómodos y de buena calidad. El pedido llego a tiempo y en perfectas condiciones.

Gebruik de loepbril steeds als ik met de Diamond Painting bezig ben Ben heel blij met de loepbril

Surlunettes-loupes de qualité à un tarif très intéressant. Très pratique pour lire les livres imprimés en petits caractères. leur pose sur les lunettes est très aisée et la possibilté de les relever est une bonne chose, évitant ainsi de les retirer chaque fois que l'on veut faire autre chose que la lecture. Elles sont très légères et bien plus pratique qu'une loupe sur table. A conseiller.
