The glasses are very cool. It surprises people that they pull apart right on your face. However I don't know what to do with them. I can't throw them in my purse because I don't have a case for them. Leaving them around the house is not a good idea without a case. I have resorted to hanging them near my computer. They need to come up with a convenient way for them to fold up and fit into a case.

These are great! I never needed glasses before so I'm not in the habit of wearing them. These glasses are so low profile and comfortable you can even forget they're around your neck. I wore them to work and what a hit! Everyone wants them.

Great glasses, too small for my head however. They are adjustable to a degree. I had to put mine to the largest setting and they are still a little small. I have had similar problems with some items made in China, wrist watches in particular. It seems that they don't accommodate large size folks. My hat size is 7 1/2 and my wrist size is also 7 1/2 inches.

I really like these glasses so I don't have to go searching for glasses all the time. They hang around the neck, so are very handy and versatile for being at home. I, however, don't think I'd wear them out in public since they wrap around the head and are a problem with how to fit them over my hair and still feel presentable. But they definitely are a plus item to have around to save time.

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.

Beware! These sound like a great idea, but will not go comfortably around even a middle sized head.

After years of replacing reading glasses by the dozen that have fallen out of my husbands pockets.These are the greatest!!! You always know right where they are.

Finally-I can keep up with one pair of glasses around the house! Yes, these work really great for me. I have a very small head and actually tried on a friend's pair before I purchased them. They work great because I can let them hang around my neck when I don't need them to read! Many times I leave the house with them without realizing it. I too wish there was a convenient way to store them-I end up hanging them from the mirror in the car. Certainly worth the price.

I was really excited when I saw these reading glasses that split at the nose bar, how nifty, just wear them looped over the back of your neck and click the lens part together whenever you have to read the fine print. Great idea, but the execution of the idea is not for everyone. The back piece is also hard plastic, rigid, and if you have long hair, you have to lift them out from under your hair and place the plastic back strip at your mid-skull level, fit them on your ears and then fit the front parts together and snap. From the back you end up looking like you are wearing an external orthodontic apparatus. I'd like to see the company put a string in place of the hard plastic that loops around your neck. The magnetic clip that brings the two lenses together in the front is a fabulous idea, and having the two lenses hanging off to the sides instead of a whole pair of glasses swaying across your front is so much more comfortable and out of the way - it's just the rigid frame at the back that makes me wonder if anyone really tried using these things before they were mass manufactured.

Having to wear reading glasses stinks. Having a novel, new, unusual, set of glasses makes up for aging. These are wonderful to use. Yes, the head band may need a little stretch for a wider head. Yes, they take a little time to get used to "clicking them in front of your nose". But all that said, I would buy them again in a second. While in Venice Italy this summer, I saw them in an expensive eye glass store for $80, and was thrilled to find them on Amazon for so much less. I am very thankful that Italian store did not have my strength. I suspect you will enjoy these too.
