I was in desperate need of new glasses. My old pair only helped with close-up tasks, and I needed something that could handle reading a book one moment and glancing up at the TV the next. I decided to try the Rimless Photochromic Bifocal Reading Glasses, opting for the Gold frame with a +2.50 strength. They promised ultra-lightweight comfort and both near and distance vision correction.
After using these glasses for three months, here’s my day-by-day account of how they performed.
Before I get into the timeline, here’s why I chose this particular model:
The package arrived promptly. Upon opening the box, the first thing that struck me was the weight—or rather, the lack of it. These glasses are incredibly light. The gold frame details looked elegant, not like cheap plastic.
I put them on right away. The rimless design is fantastic because it doesn’t obstruct my peripheral vision, unlike my old frames with their thick edges.
Next, I tested the bifocal lenses. There’s a distinct separation: the reading portion (+2.50) is at the bottom, and the top is clear for distance. I was initially concerned the line might be distracting.
Initial Check List:
Verdict: I was impressed by the featherlight build. The optics seemed perfectly suited for my hyperopia. A promising start.
This week was all about adjustment. Learning to tilt my head rather than just my eyes to switch between the reading and distance zones took some practice.
