Customer Reviews of Carson Optical Clip-and-Flip 2x Power Magnifying Lens +4.00 Diopters

Customer Review: For very close correction
Summary: 3 Stars

I really wanted these for helping me with my beading -- those tiny beads just keep getting tinier! Although the glasses work well and are comfortable clipped on my glasses, the focal point is very close. It takes a lot of getting used to.

Customer Review: Should be stronger
Summary: 3 Stars

I don't see enough magnification with these glasses to be usefull to me. But they might work for someone who has not been to their optometrist in a long time.

Customer Review: not so good...
Summary: 2 Stars

My father (90) found this VERY difficult to use. The depth of focus is quite narrow.

Customer Review: Cheap Plastic Clip
Summary: 1 Stars

For the price these rate a 1 for the following:

THe all important clip that attaches to the glasses is
made of some cheap plastic.
Mine arrived broken on one side. As soon as I operated
the lever to open these so as to attach to my glasses one
of the prongs on one side snapped.
I did detect some 'stickage'
as I operated these but did not apply undue force whilst opening. I suspect
one of the prongs-pads had some residue on it that caused it to stick
somewhat.

After studying these for a few minutes I determined they are
unworthy of keeping as the plastic is not of the sturdy kind
but of some cheap material that is easily cracked/broken. Especially
if it is cold (say below 60F).

Amazon rates a 10 as I have the return labels in hand already for
a refund.

I'd not buy these if I was you. Look elsewhere. For the 12 bucks or so
you deserve a better quality item.

P.S. The magnification on these is very hard to detect. WIth my eyes and my
eyeglasses the focal range was about at 2 feet with perhaps an inch of usable
depth. The magnification was really useless IMO and even if they had not been
broken I'd have returned these.
Buyer would probably be better off going to local ChinaMadeMart and look
thru the selection of clip-ons there and find a magnification range they want.
