I'm touting these. I already posted the link on Deals & Steals. The current 15% off is so-so for them. They have frequent sales & I got 30% off during Mardi Gras.
+6.00 High-Powered Reading Glasses | Readers.com
I needed new reading glasses and decided to step up in quality from the ones I'd been getting at the 99¢ store. I noticed that they have some glasses that go to a 6.00 magnification. I think the highest I'd ever seen in a store was 3.25. I thought they might replace the magnifying glass (which I'm always losing.) I also thought they might help my father and my sister for her work.
Dad has very little vision left due to glaucoma. He has one pair of prescription glasses that sort of work for him when he wants to read and they're in terrible shape. After we discussed it, he had me order a pair in 5.00. When he tried them on, he decided they wouldn't help enough for him to bother switching between the two so I took them. (Otherwise I would have purchased 6.00s.)
I brought them with me when my sister and I were both visiting. Normally she wears a magnifying headset at work and the glasses magnified more. So she's getting a pair (although she will continue to use a microscope for the really close work.)
They leave both hands free and aren't coke-bottle thick. I think they're great for stuff like rebuilding RBAs.
