## Overview

Featuring the largest 53mm lenses in a compact 10mm thick frame, scratch-resistant acrylic lenses, and a customizable four-position bridge, these glasses offer premium clarity and comfort. Packaged with a stylish hard case, they are the perfect blend of elegance and convenience for the discerning professional.

## Description

Our Slimfold Style 5 folding reader is a modified rectangle shape, with a slightly curved rectangled lens, similar to the Slimfold Style I and Style III, but a bit larger and more rounded on the bottom. It fits into a special protective case, and has the largest lens available at 53mm. These are the authentic and original SlimFold reading glasses, made in Japan by Kanda of Japan. These optical quality frames incorporates a four-position adjustable bridge, providing you with truly a custom fit. This amazing reader is only 10 mm thick, less than 1/2 the size of the typical folded reader. Elegant when worn, incredibly convenient in purse or pocket....this is a classic beauty that enchances your appearance. So slim they take almost no room in pocket or purse. Style 5 is available in Black, Brown, Pewter or Gold to satisfy every discriminating taste. Here's the optical sizing scoop: Lens: 53mm Bridge: 25mm Temple: 140mm

Review: nicely constructed and elegant. the small screw is almost comical - the slim case makes these reading glasses easy to carry around. The build quality is very good. There is an extra screw provided but I would need to be wearing the glasses to be able to install it (hah hah). Too bad I can't afford an extra pair :-)
Review: Ridiculously Overpriced - No pair of reading glasses is worth $200.00.

*by R***G on July 24, 2024*

These are compact and perfect for reading menus. My only problem is I haven't mastered getting them back into the case yet and I keep getting finger prints all over the lenses.
