great reading glasses,
May 3, 2013
By: Merton
"Have been purchasing reading glasses for years from Drug stores, Grocery stores & discount stores like what seems forever. Though these glasses are a bit pricey, they're worth it in the quality over those previous cheap ones. They fit comfortably on the face, aren't heavy and have flexible ear pieces that are usually the first thing to go on the cheap ones. Will know more about their durability down the road. Their pricing still beats those glasses from the optomitrist"

"I'm very hard on glasses. They get dropped, thrown in carryalls, lost in the garden etc. These not only look great, they're practically indestructible."

Not JUST reading glasses!,
March 5, 2013
By: genwalsh
from Upstate NY
"I purchased these reading glasses because I had been searching for a round frame tortoise shell pair of eyeglasses for the last two years. I took them to my optician and had them fitted with my new prescription. Not only are they the most comfortable fitting and lightest frame glasses I have recently owned but I have never received as many compliments on any eyeglasses I have owned. Highly recommended and the quality of construction is excellent. Don't be deceived by the price or weight of this definitely durable frame."

Substance and Style,
November 28, 2012
By: DefenseTraveller
from Viginia Beach, VA
"I've been using cheap readers for a few years. They bend, lenses get easily scratched, etc. These readers have substance, look great (I've had compliments since I started wearing them) and are really built to last. Its worth the extra money to get great readers like this!"

Does exactly what it says on the tin!,
August 14, 2012
By: balci
from Cambridge, the real one.
"Optically great, visually stunning (according to my wife), build quality up to the usual Orvis standard and the case couldn't be bettered.
What happened to the fifth star? For my head they could have been a fraction wider but maybe us Brits have bigger heads!"

"These readers actually fit my rather large face which is always an issue. The styling is classic and they look great. The hinges are very strong which bodes well for the durability of this product."

Eye*Bob Reading Glasses,
March 15, 2012
By: FSzydlo
"I find all the eye*bob reading glasses enjoyable. I own two pair, the CEO and the Boardroom. They are extremely comfortable and complement my dress style. My only surprise was that the Boardroom glasses had black on the outside and tortoise on the inside of the stems; where in the front this is reversed . I would have thought it would have been consistent for the black to be all inside with the tortoise on the outside. I double-checked the website and it was consistent so I guess I just missed it."

Boardroom Reading Glasses,
January 17, 2012
By: tnwrangler
"This is my second pair of readers from Orvis and I have another pair [different style] on order and in route.
The style is classic, the price is reasonable and both magnification & clarity are quite good for a pair of non-prescription glasses. The only way I believe you might improve on this product is to give it away.

Quality product,
December 31, 2011
By: NewsEditor68
from Waukomis, OK
"Found reading glasses to be very well made, 1.5x to be well suited to reading a computer screen — the reason I purchased them. They are the slightest bit too narrow for my face, however, and I have a fairly narrow face. Other than that, these reading glasses are a very good purchase. Glasses case is outstanding."

Great pair of glasses!,
December 20, 2011
By: JenniferATL
from Atlanta
"I have had the great fortune of not needing glasses during my life, but with a bit of age, I find that I need a pair of reading glasses. The ones at the drugstore were ugly. The ones at the eye doctor were stunningly expensive. THESE glasses, however, provide a cool style while not requiring me to take out a loan! Yay, glasses! Well worth the price!"
