Carson OD-10 Clip and Flip Hands-Free 1.5x (+2.25) Magnifying Lenses, Grey

Good quality and value for money

Just what I needed, extra magnification on top of my glasses. Although my glasses are very light weight and the clip on is on the heavy side, so it does feel a little precarious - but I just wont move my head and it will be fine. I have ordered another . . . so that says it all.

These are not the best clip on glasses that I have owned but they are ok. I bought them because it is difficult to get the ones I like and at the moment they are 'price scorchio'.There are no cleaning instructions on these so I used what I usually do, which is soap and water (which made them look a bit smeary) then a wipe down with alcohol (which made them completely white opaque and I thought they were gonners). So I don't know what happened but it may be a chemical reaction with a coating because with concerted effort of oiling, washing, alcohol wipes I managed to salvage them albeit in less than pristine condition. So I highly recommend no one uses the cleaning method that I did.The lenses (before I ruined them) looked crystal clear, but they are rather more chunky than the ones I like better for the same magnification and I feel they draw my eyes.The lenses are in one piece and attach by pegs going into the clip sideways across the bridge of the nose and I think this makes the lenses stable as there are no tiny screws holding them to the frame individuallywhich can work loose and allow a bit of a wobble.Then after two or three days they broke across the bridge of the nose. Sigh! So now they are glued together.

They work well as a magnifying lens but they don't fit that well on my Sims fishing cap. I wear sunglasses when fishing and the 2 items compete for space. Perhaps a Carson cap would solve the issue.

Don’t buy!! used once fell apart and broke cheap plastic crap

I use these for modelmaking, and find them utterly indispensable.I hate using head-mounted magnifiers as I find them bulky, uncomfortable and annoying. Also, if I am filming my work and working close up to the model, all the camera sees is a big derpy magnifier getting in the way. Also they can be a pain when already wearing glasses.These flip magnifiers are a great solution for glasses-wearers as they simply clip on to the frame and are good to go. They way virtually nothing and can be flipped up out of the way in an instant. Because they are not a bog honking visor thing you will not get headaches or bang into the bench lights every five minutes and can quickly flip them to look at things away from the bench. The 4 dioptre lenses are perfect for me to be able to see tiny details either close up, or - when I am filming/streaming - well enough from a foot away that I can work without getting my head in shot all the time.Designed for fishing but perfect for any tiny hobby.

product arrived on time. packaged well. no damages. happy.this product i bought to use along with my fishing cap to aid me in tying small flies onto my leader material.On attaching to cap. after moving lense up and down a few times to position lense for use and to position lense up out of way. The lense itself snapped. it snapped of right where the 2 lenses join together to form a plastic bar which is used to clip into cap clip hook. NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!. The lense it self can be unclipped.HERE IS THE STING IN THE TAIL!!!!!!. There is no replacement lense that i can find that will fit. Most of them do not have that type of bar connection in the middle of lense.therefore this product is not fit for use, plus to me a waste of money.PS if anyone knows where you can purchase these type of lens. please can you leave a link in your review to where. many thanks

After a disaster with a previous pair, I was delighted to receive a pair that was easy to fit, and not at all heavy. I am now able to read my paperbacks that have small print with comfort. I would highly recommend to readers and crofters. They are so good if I have a disaster I would purchase again
