My boyfriemd thought I was spending too much on these readers, that we should be able to get five pairs for the same price. But we have tons of cheap readers, and they all have the same cheap, brittle frame with lenses that get cloudy within a month. These? "Nice glasses!" he says. "Where did you get them?" Yeah. Mmmm-hmmmm. If you have any doubts about getting a really nice pair of readers, these are nice without requiring a trip to the optometrist and the local lending institution. Comes with a little fabric drawstring bag so you can treat them with a bit more respect than the average cheapo ones.And they even make me hear "Hot for Teacher" sometimes when I put them on. If I get my way, we will buy six more pairs and those cheap readers can go the way of the single use packaging.
