ThinOptics Universal Pod Rectangular Reading Glasses, Black Frames/Black Case, 1.5 x (UPBLB3)

I’ve been buying these for years for my husband — and for good reason! Great quality, lightweight, and a great price. He never forgets or loses his glasses since they stay glued to the back of his phone case. Easy to carry, and as far as style… well, let’s just say it gets the job done. Practical, durable, and keeps him from squinting at the menu or phone! 😂

Disclaimer: I paid full price for these glasses from Amazon. I did not receive a discount and they are not part of any promotion. I have no connection with ThinOptics or any employees and no connection with Amazon. My reviews are always complete and honest. I received these glasses today. Normally I wait a few days or more before writing a review, but in this case, one day was enough. These glasses are exactly what I wanted. They are super thin and fit easily into their own super thin case (Pod). The adhesive on the back of the case is thinner than tissue paper and allows a tight mounting the the back of my Iphone 6. The glasses clip on my nose easily and stay where I put them, high on my nose or low. Vision is excellent. I'm sure they will last for a long time with just reasonable care. They are well made and strong, but anything, no matter how well made, can be broken by accident or with rough care. These glasses have a lifetime replacement guarantee, but as I said before, I am certain that with reasonable care they will last a long, long time. I highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't want to carry bulky reading glasses in their pocket, but have them easily available any time... like me. One more thing; when you receive your glasses be sure to register them on the ThinOptics website for the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee (instructions are included with the glasses). When you're there, be sure to look at their "Cleaning" video. It makes a point of saying that when you wash them, shake them dry. Do not dry them with tissue or a towel. I don't know why they can't be towel dried, but I'll handle mine as in the video.

It is slightly difficult for me to read small print in low light these days. These are perfect for me to easily carry around and use when needed. Pros 1. The case is about the thickness of 3 credit cards and very close to the length and width. 2. The case comes with a an adhesive backing that you can stick wherever it makes sense for you, like the back of your phone. 3. The case can easily fit in your wallet. I don't think I would keep it in my back pocket though. 4. The glasses are super light because they have plastic lenses. 5. The glasses pull apart and grip your nose to stay put. Which means they are easy to use with hats that would cover your ears. There is a tiny pinch, but I'm not going to wear these for hours anyway. 6. Good price. Cons 1. Plastic lenses are light, but they can scratch easy. I am super careful and haven't scratched these yet, but there is a good chance it will happen at some point.

I do construction work and wear my phone on a holster clipped to my belt. Also get in and out of van quite often. I’ve had them for two months and the case is cracking and won’t last much longer. Glasses are great and convenient. Only downside for me. Wish they made a metal case.

awesomely convenient and the greatest "old guy" thing to have.

I have mixed feelings about these glasses. Optically they are on par with my EyeBuyExpress glasses. And they weight nothing. And the carrying case and method of tucking them away works exactly as advertised. And they are so thin that it is very easy to clean them. My only problem is that I can't find a way to hold these properly if I am reading off my computer, that is, if I am looking straight. If I am reading downwards these work beautifully. If I am lying down reading a Kindle or watching movies on a tablet, these work magnificently. They are also great in the dark because it's very easy to orient the case by touch and tuck them away without touching the glasses. With regular glasses I always end up smudging them while trying to put them away in the dark. I can't blame the glasses because for all I know it could be the shape of my nose, but it just nags me that I can't use them in all three scenarios. As for the warranty, there was an insert warning me to go to their website to register them, that only took a few seconds. If these things fit your nose for your use scenarios, you will probably be happy with them. I obviously don't need to buy more since the warranty is for life, but if I were to buy these for somebody else I would rather go with a pair of EyeBuyExpress glasses. Update: out of curiosity I tried to wear these over a band aid. This solved the issue reading off my computer, and I don't have to re-position them at all while lying down. I am guessing my particular problem was either the shape of my nose, or the oiliness of my skin, or maybe a combination of of both. Update: I have been averaging 2-4 hours a day wearing these without any issues but I still prefer to wear them with the band aid. I am upgrading my review to 5 stars because I am actually very happy with them. Update (9/17/2016): One of the nose pads broke :-( I don't even know how it happened. What I do know is that it took less than five minutes to order a free replacement, and I am now wearing them just 3-4 days since I made the warranty claim. So yes, they do send you a fresh pair if they break. And yes, I am still putting 2-4 hours a day of use with these, they are great (as long as they fit your nose).

Muy buenos y prácticos
