I was needing a new pair of readers as the one's I had were 1.5 strength but was starting to squint with those. I noticed when trying to read the small print on my church's mass booklet I was struggling to read the print so went up a notch to 1.75 strength when ordering these. They felt sturdy and somewhat heavier than my other pair. They stayed in place well, felt more secure so I didn't need to keep adjusting much once on my face. They are a large cat eye size and would consider them over sized so if you like your glasses on the bigger size these will work well. When I was wearing them I didn't need to squint and due to the large lens I can see everything clearer. The glasses come in a hard shell case that will keep them safe and easy to find.
