Foster Grant Men's Boston Polarized Square Readers

A good choice

I am a firm believer that on your 40th birthday Foster Grant should just send you a pair of reading glasses! I have been blessed with good eye sight, then I turned 40 and over the next year noticed I was getting headaches when reading and needing to move the book in closer. A friend mentioned it was probably time for reading glasses. So, off to the eye doctor I went. She also said I just needed some reading glasses and let me know what strength to get. She also suggested the Foster Grant brand for consistency and quality.I have a few other pairs with cute colors I wear at work but I was looking for something a little bigger to keep next to my bed for reading at night. These work well and fit a bit looser but do not slip down my nose. As always, the quality is great and I am sure these will not be my last pair.

These aren’t my favorite reading glasses, but they’re a solid option. Frames are well made for the price and the lenses are quite good.

My husband loves these readers! Well made, sturdy, does the trick.

I previously bought similarly styled/featured Foster Grant men's reading glasses with the model name "Hugo" on two occasions for $12 - $17; both were solid, "pay for what you get" bona fide reading glasses, with a high quality feel, better-than-drugstore feel. THESE ARE NOT. The optical quality of these "Boston" glasses seems perfectly OK - but the frames are WAY lighter, thinner, have less "heft", and seem comparatively flimsy and cheap - not *terrible* mind you - just cheap by COMPARISON. But since they're selling for $20 apiece, it's a big disappointment. Look at the old "Hugo" photos (still available, though the glasses themselves aren't) and you'll see. These aren't $20 glasses IMO.

I ordered a pair for my husband. He uses them for reading and thinks they are excellent. Fit well, very sturdy, lightweight, and are the correct refraction for him. There is nothing about the glasses that he dislikes.

Second update!!! 12/28/2023:Last time I ordered a set of 3, the description said it comes with case and cleaning cloth. It didn’t. But I kept them anyways.I just received another order that I placed a day or two ago.. description has been fixed when it comes to cleaning cloth and case. It doesn’t say it’s included. But it did say (3) and I received only one!! It’s hilariously sad how horrid this company is or their business practices! It’s a joke!Too bad because the glasses are not bad! Just never know what you’ll end up with!!! 😂Little update:They slide down my nose! Seems like the arms are a tad too long! Still like themMy only complaints are:No case or cleaning cloth was included with the 3 pairs I just received.The sides have a cosmetic emblem which is not like the picturesStill giving 5 stars as I like the quality and fit.

Relatively cheap and looks great
