Able Vision Reading Glasses - BPR36 Tube Gunmetal

Comments about Able Vision BPR36 Tube Gunmetal :

They don't last forever, but for the price I like them. Especially the metal tube. Otherwise, I destroy them a lot quicker.

For the price it's a great product. Hard case protects from my abuse. Reasonably comfortable. Doesn't strain eyes. Spring frame hinge protects from my one year old granddaughter. Clip on top portion of case broke off fairly soon but it's definately not a deal breaker for me. I'll be buying more of them.

Comments about Able Vision BPR36 Tube Gunmetal :

I was disappointed with the mounts of the nose pads on a single wire attached to the bridge of the glasses, rather than on separate, adjustable mounts on each lens frame. The single wire arrangement precludes adequate adjustment of pads resulting in irritation of skin at times; in the future, I will not purchase glasses with this type of nose pad mounting. When working outdoors with my head facing down, the glasses slip off too easily. The lenses do seem to be adequately secured by the frames, something that can be an issue with cheap glasses. The glasses are small and unobtrusive, which is what I sought so they easily fit in my shirt pocket and are instantly available when needed. The case is helpful for more security and protection when the glasses are not in constant use. I personally like this lens profile because it permits usage when both near and distant vision are needed frequently without the need to constantly take the glasses on an off.

I've used the glasses for years and I love them. The price allows me to carry a pair and to have several pairs laying around in the house and car. They fit well and they have a stronger frame then other tube glasses. On the could be better side; I'm not sure if it's the quality of the lenses or how I treat them, but they do seem to scratch fairly easily so I tend to replace them about every 6 months.

I carry these glasses on my motorcycles. The tube keeps them protected in a harsh environment and is very compact. Almost too compact. The glasses are very tight in the tube. Since these are very new I don't know if this wlll loosen up over time or not. The tube does have a nylon sleve inside which should "wear in" some. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.
