Metal Frame Compact Specs Advanced Reading Glasses Pince Nez Type for Any Emergency +2.00

I ordered the glasses thinking that they might be useful to slip in a pocket, which they certainly are. Unfortunately, they are so small as to be painful to have on your nose. Also, you’d have to cross eyed to use them effectively. In the sellers favour, the first pair I ordered arrived broken and they immediately sent me a replacement. As I wasn’t able to try them out as they were broken I didn’t realise the faults. If I had, I would have not asked for a replacement.

Ordered these despite the price - almost £10 - as I thought they would be stronger than my previous plastic ones (which cost about £5). Unfortunately they arrived twisted and thus unusable (one lens sticking out at an angle of about 10 degrees compared to the other, making it impossible to focus); not sure if they were damaged in transit or faulty manufacture. Spent a while gently twisting them straight, terrified of breaking them, but they survived and are now effective to use.GOOD POINTS:# Tiny - even smaller than my old plastic ones# Sturdier than they look.# Tiny loop at one side through which you can put a little jewellery link, thus enabling you to hang them from a necklace - handy when constantly putting them on and off to see prices in the supermarket (why does nobody manufacture lorgnettes for such a purpose these days?? It would save constantly getting finger prints on the lenses).# Really do fit into a credit card sleeve (a good quarter inch smaller than the plastic type, which have to be inserted into the sleeve at an angle), so easy to carry with you at all times, for those frequent occasions when you forget your real specs.# Slightly more comfortable to wear than the similar sized plastic version.# Come in a little plastic sleeve with a protective card backing, so easy to slip into a pocket / bag / phone case / etc.# Ordered Friday afternoon with standard (free) delivery, and they arrived next morning (Saturday), ten days ahead of schedule! (Well done to both the seller and to Royal Mail for fast, efficient service!).BAD POINTS:# So tiny that it's pretty much impossible to pick them up without getting fingerprints all over the lenses.# Not flattering to wear - but then that's not the point of them!# The look like a toy because they're so small (but wouldn't want them any bigger or they wouldn't fit my credit card sleeve).

Very poor quality and too small for an adult to wear.Would never buy again

These are brilliant. They are tiny tiny tiny and sit on the end of my nose just as if i were an 1800's clerk. Perfect!

Far too small to be practical
