OK, I didn't expect much; but I got less, too much less this time. Like somebody else reviewing these, I got all one color (brown) instread of the assortment shown. I can deal with this and brown is fine.

What I cannot deal with is that these are not the same glasses pictured at all! These are the narrow,women-who-feel-womanly type things that are impossible for normal seeing... like viewing a computer monitor.

Quality? Well, I didn't expect a lot on that score either; but these actually are worse than expected. They are the same quality as I got 10 for ten bucks through one of those chinzy mail-order places, where you really don't expect much. All but one of those are broken now. I hid that one.

These aren't worth sending back; I'll give them away. To somebody with a small head.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER 14. After seeing this review (and I think more definitely my seller feedback), Boomer contacted me. I cannot accept their excuse that a line does say styles and colors may vary, because this nevertheless is vague and not enough to overcome the photo. "Styles" means there can be a difference between men's and women's? OK, technically, maybe so; but come on, guys!

This isn't really fair to the consumer and should definitely be clarified. It still hasn't been changed, and that's disapponting, since it's been brought to their attention more than once. If you want to be fair to customers, I really think you can do something about this -- like send them something closer to what they order at least. But change the darn ad, too.

I mentioned I was in advertising in my previous life? Well, if this were a clent of mine, I wouldn't allow something like this out of my typewriter. You see, all ad agencies aren't out to mislead the cnnsumer; but someone does need to watch the company doing their own advertising. "Anything goes" with some.

Along with that, I still have no confidence that the quaity of these el cheapos has improved. I doubt it. I still haven't found anyone who will accept them, free.

Still, I'll put in a good word. The Boomer guy offered a refund; but could only work it as credit. I told him I'd accept a single pair of bifocal sunglasses, around the same price, if they looked like the photo. They seem fine, nice in fact; but I haven't really used them yet.

At least Boomer tried to make it up to me... one customer who took the time to speak up, publicly. I still don't like that they are playing games with all the other customers. Kinda like saying "I'm sorry for hitting you with that snowball and I'll get you a new hat," to the one person who shouts; then throwing snowballs at everybody else who walks down the street.

I was next asked to remove my seller feedback; but I can't because nothing has been corrected. I would change that review; but it seems all or nothing, and I didn't know I was involved in some sort of "deal." I hope this addendum will satify everybody.

I was not satisfied with this order for three reasons:
1. The frames of 3 of the 6 pair broke after a few times of use.
2. I received only one color (black), although the picture of the item showed a variety of colors.
3. The shipping cost for an item of this size and cost were excessive ($5.99 shipping on a $10.99 package)

Don't waste your money.Value Eyes Plastic Reading Glasses Assortment 6 for $10.99

I have read several reviews on these glasses. I want to be clear- I bought six pair of reading glasses for $12. I am not expecting custom quality.

The glasses look ok and are as durable as glasses I pay $12 a pair for at the grocery store. They are light weight and do the job. If they become damaged or lost, I do not miss them. I keep them stashed in my car, coat, desk, at work and so on. I would recommend them (for what they are) and would buy them again.

They were the right price - $3.00 each (after factoring in the shipping).
The styles were fine - the lenses clean and unscratched but ---
the frames were very brittle and 5 of the 6 are already broken. Some just broke in two while wearing.

I would not reorder. I just went to the dollar store and bought 5 for $5.00

These are nice reading glasses. I only received one color though...black....even though the picture showed a variety of colors. Nothing fancy, but, they get the job done. The price is also great!

First off, an excellent seller as far as ease of transaction and fast shipping.

I am not going to complain too much--look at that price! However, the frames are almost too small for the width of my head. In addition, the 'arms' or sides are bent WAY to short for adult ears. I easily solved this by heating the bend over a candle and straightening the bend.

If you are looking to place reading glasses at strategic places around the house buy these right now. If you are looking for 'fashion' frames, this is not what you want. Normally the phrase "you get what you pay for" is said in a disparaging way. I would use that phrase, but to praise the company. Thanks for selling an inexpensive product that allows me to read!

Just received my order of 6 glasses...they are great! My eye doctor sells the same glasses for $29.00 each...6 for 10.99 is fantastic....I put a pair in each room. Quick shipping too! Highly recommend...this is my second order.

I received women's readers (pink & lavendar) I returned the glasses to Boomer Eyewear and they have never shipped the replacements to me. I have called, and sent numerous emails and they always
have some excuse, now they are not even responding. BEWARE OF THIS SELLER!!!!! P.S. Forget about Amazon giving you any help, all they did is charge my credit card!

I never received the product. I sent the company an email letting them know that I did not receive the glasses but never received a response. I finally bought a similar product on Ebay.

I PURCHASED THESE GLASSES FOR TWO REASONS. ONE WAS BECAUSE 3.5 IS HARD TO FIND AND I CAN'T GO OUT RIGHT NOW DUE TO A PELVIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED MANY PAIRS OF GLASSES AT THE DOLLAR STORE THAT WERE A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THAN THESE. THEY DON'T EVEN SIT ON YOUR FACE PROPERLY. YOU CONSTANTLY NEED TO ADJUST THEM. I CAN'T WAIT TIL I'M ABLE TO GO OUT AND GET SOME DECENT GLASSES SO I CAN THROW THESE IN THE GARBAGE. JUNK, JUNK, JUNK.
