I'm giving these a middling review not because they're bad, but because they were of no use to me. I have never had reading glasses before, but now that more and more websites use sans serif fonts for body text and my eyes are getting older, I thought these would help a bit. When I use my laptop, I'm too close to use these, and on my desktop with two monitors, I'm too far to use these. I don't need them for reading, but I found the same situation. I chose the +0.5 lenses, because I only wanted a small magnification. They do work; I found some tiny text to test them out, but I had to get it at the precise distance.<br /><br />However, they seem like nice glasses. The tint, visible in the pictures, is not really visible on the glasses at all (which is fine); if you hold them up at a side angle in good lighting, you can see that it's there. They were certainly comfortable, and they weight next to nothing.<br /><br />I talked to my optometrist about the same time, and she told me that on transitional lenses with three ranges, the middle range is adjusted for some sort of focal distance, so you can get flexibility with prescription lenses. Next time, I guess...
