Defective Product
Defective product, the lens came scratched with a "blur" that is not removed with anything,I already tried with special liquid to clean glasses and it is a scratch of origin.EDIT:Shinu contacted me after they read my review, they apologized for the inconvenience and offered to send me a new pair of glasses with no additional cost.I accepted and they sent me the new pair really fast and they came out perfect. No scratches at all, they are really comfortable, durable and overall a great set of glasses.I applaud their customer service as they took care of my issue and this shows they care for their customers. I would buy from them again.

This so far is the best one and finally got one with zero magnification on ...
Broke my $200 prescription glasses and tried different multi focal glasses. All of them still have magnification on top. This so far is the best one and finally got one with zero magnification on top and no distortion looking far as in ZERO DISTORTION CRYSTAL CLEAR so you can use this for driving etc. For those who are not familiar with progressive glasses will need to adjust for a day or 2 to be able to appreciate this, and for those who knows how to use progressive lens and need to buy a pair because you either lost yours or broke them, this is the pair you're looking for to replace them. Frame is super light and well built, doesn't look cheap, in fact it looks like my prescription glasses except it's a bit bigger, other than that i have no complain. To Give you an idea and brief description, 50% of the lens which is the top part is clear with no magnification therefore you can roll your eyes and your vision will still be clear without turning your head.... the bottom part though, only the center of the lens has magnification therefore if you're looking near or reading, the object must be centered to get a clear vision meaning you need to turn your head or the object will be blurred if you just roll your eyes left or right and this is normal for any progressive glasses that people complain of getting dizzy... you need to get use to it and learn how to use it. Will define intently get an extra pair.

These glasses work perfectly!
These glasses work perfectly. I have had progressive Rx glasses for years. Now after my cataract surgery I don't need distance correction and just regular reading glasses do not work for me. With these glasses I can work as I normally did before, meaning reading close up, then computer and distance with out having to change glasses around for each task. I will be getting Rx glasses also but these work just fine for most tasks, now and in the future. They fit well and I like the looks of them. They are quite close to Rx glasses I had in the past. I highly recommend these. I have the +2.50 with the black/blue frames.

Vertigo? Weirdly distorting and very large.
Strange glasses. First, as others report, they are very large on the face -- a matter of style, it's not mine. As progressive readers: The good is that, unlike the Foster Grant progressive readers, they are actually 0 at the top. But, now the bad, it really is only at the top, so you need to tilt your head down to get that neutral 0 field of vision. Looking straight ahead in the middle, as one normally does when not reading, there's a weird distortion most evident when you turn your head side to side, as part of the progressive magnification is horizontal as well as vertical. As readers, the distortion is also weird. Reading though the bottom of the glasses (keep your head up and peer down to read) creates a sort of upside down trapezoid effect, which again gets really wonky as you turn your head side to side. These might alternatively be called "vertigo glasses."

I ordered the next size larger than needed
I require 3x down and 1.25x up but my past experience with multi focal or bi-focal lenses is in order to have a decent amount of actual reading area at the bottom of the lens -- you need to order the next size .. so for 3x down I ordered 3.5x down & 1.5x up in blue lens and I was exactly correct. They work perfect for my vision by simply moving them up or down on the face depending on whether your viewing distant or close up. As with most multi-focal lenses, for best clearest vision, you need to view directly in the center.. not off to the edges.. I tested them against 4 other types of multi focal lenses and these provide the clearest vision with lowest distortion at both close up and distance. Plus the last 3" of the arms are a malleable rubber with a heavy wire inside.. so you can easily adjust them to your head/ear size.. So for my needs, these work perfectly!!! They are a large pair of glasses but that gives you a wider field of view...

Weak frames and poor progressive.
I got these after cataract surgery. I now have perfect distance vision but I need readers for work on the computer or reading. I had hoped these glasses would be helpful for driving so I could see the dashboard more clearly.The glasses failed on all counts. The frames are very weak and the lenses constantly fell out.As progressive lenses they also had a flaw. Even a slight head movement makes everything distort. I found I was better off just using some 1.75 readers at work. I got a lanyard and took them off when not working or reading.In a few weeks the eye doctor will fit me with a pair of prescription progressives.I added a star because the company reached out to me. They offered a free replacement pair. I declined the offer because I will be getting prescription progressives within the week. Otherwise, I might have accepted because the glasses were OK for stationary activities that didn't involve a lot of head movement.
