Distinctive sun glass readers,
April 15, 2013
By: cathoogie
from Tucson AZ.
"arrive in a case with a large label made in china . Not a good first impression
Glasses nice color a little weak for the Arizona sun.
Look good not terribly practical, ten dollars to ship an item that small is dubious."

Author doesn't have bifocal lenses..,
April 4, 2013
By: Sixty
from Atlanta, GA
"The Author are very nice magnifying glasses, high quality, and very attractive. BUT... they are NOT bifocal! The whole lens is magnifying, rather than being a split lens with a magnifier in it (like the Pundit). The Author should be listed on a different page altogether. I wanted and needed a bifocal, so I was very disappointed with a whole lens of 2.0. (Where would I use that? Only reading at the beach, I guess.) Despite the quality and attractive design, I had to return them."

Perfect!,
January 19, 2013
By: Papadean
from Palos Heights IL
"The Distinctive sunglass readers are "Perfect!"
They fit well, the distance and the reader part are perfectly in line where they are supposed to be.
The frames are very attractive and have that up-to-date "look."
They were worth the wait!"

Distinctive Sunglass Readers,

"These are my first pair of cheaters, I love them. They are slightly small for my head, but they are spring hinged such that they spread apart further and don't grab too tightly."

"I liked the glasses but was very disappointed in the color. It should have been more specific like gold or yellow. They do serve the purpose that I bought them for"

Nice But Too Small,
May 24, 2012
By: Elevenn
from Virginia
"I had high hopes for these sunglasses when I ordered them. However, when they arrived it was immediately apparent that the frames were just too small for my melon of a head. The glasses themselves, with their clear, light golden colored frame, were very attractive. The case they came in was nice and sturdy. The incorporated reader lenses were a nice touch. All in all nice sunglasses, just too small for me. If the frames had been larger, I would have kept them."

"I hate having to switch back and forth between sunglasses and readers. While it took me a while to get used to the bifocal lens, it is the perfect solution!"

"I really like the style of the Boardroom, but they were just a little small for my face. I think they would look great on a woman's face. The quality is good and they are comfortable. Sorry they didn't fit me.
Also, the website on these is somewhat confusing, which is unusual for Orvis. If you are considering buying any glasses from Orvis, please take the time to browse ALL their selections; they have many."

"As the style of these readers really appealed to me (and still does) I was sorely disappointed when mine arrived, with the frontal frame warped so that they did not sit squarely on my face. As I studied this situation, i concluded that this may have been caused by the fact that the case provided was in fact too small for the rather bulky "economist" and was squashing it, thus warping it."

"I absolutely LOVE these sunglass readers. As your other reveiwer stated, they solve the problem of having to fumble around with changing from sunglasses to reading glasses, I've even used them inside in a pinch and they work wonderfully!!! They're made very well and are attractive on. I only wish that I'd found them sooner. Thanks Orvis!"

"For those of us with over 40-year-old eyes these sunglasses are perfect! Previously,. I would have to take off my sunglasses and put on my reading glasses to read by the pool. Or, much to my kids' horror I would wear my reading glasses and put big sunglasses on over them. Now I wear these sunglasses and problem solved!"
