Product Reviews of CliC Adjustable Front Connect Reader, 1.75 Strength, Tortoise Frame
Product Review: Nearly perfect readers, and better than anything else out there.
Summary: 5 Stars
LASIK notwithstanding, my 47-year-old eyes needed reading glasses. I got tired of them always falling out of my breast pocket each time I bent over, and I hated those neck strings and Croakies. I feel old enough without looking like Dame Edna! I saw Clics a year ago on a concierge in Europe and was astonished when he pulled them apart at the bridge. Brilliant! I had to have a pair.
Having used them constantly for some time, I can attest that these are the greatest reading glasses out there. Worth every penny. Because they don't fall off, they are my only pair never scratched. They are comfortable, don't get tangled up and are always at hand without being in the way. An added plus is that they draw an admiring comment from anyone who sees me put them on (not for their looks certainly, but for the ingenuity of the mechanism). This is as close as reading glasses come to being "cool." More importantly, they perform.
The only downsides I've found are that the bar connecting the earpieces across the back can sometimes make it inconvenient to lay my head on a pillow when they're on, and I wish the contour of the frame was such that it fit neatly inside my shirt collar when not worn. The frame's too narrow to lay outside the collar and a tad too wide to stay within, but that wouldn't be everyone's experience. The glasses are adjustable only in terms of their frame length, front-to-back, not otherwise. I haven't yet tried heat forming them as an optometrist might, as I don't want to screw them up.
Hint to Clic: A flat folding version would be nice, as would a dressier wire frame style.
Product Review: Need Larger Size Available
Summary: 3 Stars
These are a good idea, but they need to come in a larger size to fit heads like mine. Even with a shaved head, when they are pulled out to their largest position, they still ride right against my eyes. If I want to look at something across the room, I have to take them off, which, to me, defeats the purpose of "reading" glasses, being able to look over the top of them. In all fairness though, I wear an XXL hat size, so I do have a "Big Head" literally. Make a bigger size, and I will buy another pair. As I said, Good Idea, just need more options.Product Review: Need to be able to adjust for bigger heads.
Summary: 2 Stars
Glasses would be great, but need to be able to adjust for bigger heads. Don't think most men can wear them without popping the adjustable side frame off. Would buy another pair, if they would make the side frames a little longer.Product Review: Never lose the glasses again
Summary: 5 Stars
I am extremely happy with these glasses. I've been wearing the clics for well over a year, recently decided that the eyes would prefer 1.75. They stay around my neck all day, stay on in the pool even, and now I don't lose them, sit on them, or forget where they were put down. They also amuse babies and toddlers to no end, and can start any number of conversations with strangers.Product Review: Nice reader.
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this product! Excellent in almost every way and can think of only two shortcomings... 1) price point is a bit hefty; and 2) storing this reader for travel is unwieldy... ya gotta keep wearing it. Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do, and do it well.
