Pod Case When you combine the world’s thinnest readers with our universal pod case, you have a versatile vision solution that goes anywhere. The easy-to-carry pod comes in black and white and easily attaches to your phone or fits in your pocket, wallet or purse. The thin, lightweight and portable readers elegantly fit inside the durable case, adding a portable and convenient way of carrying readers.	Are they Comfortable? Yep, they’re feather-light, grip with gentle pressure and can be moved up or down your nose for optimal fit and comfort. Most people can find a location that is secure and comfortable. For those that can’t, we offer a 30-day, money-back-fit.	Will they break? Here’s where we get technical. Every ThinOptics Reader is made of shatterproof, thermo-injection molded, optical-grade polycarbonate. The bridge is made from a shape-memory metal called Nitinol, which is 10x more elastic than spring steel and encased in medical-grade silicone tubing.	Will they fit my nose? Noses come in all shapes and sizes, but ThinOptics readers have been designed to fit the vast majority. They can be positioned higher up or down the nose for a comfortable fit. We’ve tested hundreds of combinations of nose pad angles and widths over two years to arrive at the optimal design.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the corrective eyeglasses. Some mention that they are very functional and stick to the back of their cell phone, always.

753 customers mention385 positive368 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the corrective eyeglasses. Some say that the adhesive is good and holds firmly to their case, staying put on their nose and not falling off. The case is slim for attaching to a phone or fitting in a wallet, while others say that it's uncomfortable with an unsecured fit, prone to falling when looking. The glasses don't seem to fit in the case as firmly, and the case seems so tight that it can scratch the glasses while putting in.

"...In the case which holds them securely and they don’t fall out. Fit nicely on your nose...." Read more

Light weight and easily portable

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

Color: Black Case / Black FramesLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 1.5 xVerified Purchase

It is slightly difficult for me to read small print in low light these days. These are perfect for me to easily carry around and use when needed.

Pros
1. The case is about the thickness of 3 credit cards and very close to the length and width.
2. The case comes with a an adhesive backing that you can stick wherever it makes sense for you, like the back of your phone.
3. The case can easily fit in your wallet. I don't think I would keep it in my back pocket though.
4. The glasses are super light because they have plastic lenses.
5. The glasses pull apart and grip your nose to stay put. Which means they are easy to use with hats that would cover your ears. There is a tiny pinch, but I'm not going to wear these for hours anyway.
6. Good price.

Cons
1. Plastic lenses are light, but they can scratch easy. I am super careful and haven't scratched these yet, but there is a good chance it will happen at some point.

Lightweight, super portable, comfortable enough

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Color: White Case / Clear FramesLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 1 xVerified Purchase

Lightweight, super portable, sort of comfortable for extended use.

I have these in both 1.0x (for computer) and 1.5x (for reading) strengths and they do the basic job well: visibility up/down+side/side is OK and clarity is acceptable. I have progressive lens glasses (prescription) which have a wider field of view and more of an invisible presence due to having slightly wider lenses, but the Thinoptics are still fine for daily use even though I can easily see and detect the frame.

These stay reasonably well on the bridge of your nose, but I would recommend you pull them apart before placing them on - or taking them off - your nose because they rely on an abrasive surface to help stay in place: if you scrape that surface on your skin by trying to slide the glasses on or pull them off, your skin will start to get tender and you'll want to avoid these glasses until that area heals up a bit.

Their case is neat in that you put in one end first and then slightly bend them in the middle to fit the other end inside, then push the glasses fully down to protect them completely. You can toss the case in a glove compartment or backpack without stuff getting into the tight case and damaging the lenses, I've noticed. I recommend putting the case somewhere convenient, because this way you avoid placing the glasses down somewhere that they might get scratched through always placing them back in the case. At my computer desk, I have a Thinoptics case adhered to the edge of a shelf holding my monitor, just above the keyboard - my glasses go back in the case whenever I leave the desk, not on a table top or similar.

However, the few times I've left these glasses on a horizontal surface and not placed them in the case, they haven't gotten damaged: the frame is thicker than the lenses, so they don't get scratched when the glasses are laying on a flat surface.

These are good for reading books or laptop work, desktop computer monitors and jobs around the house which require some magnification - though, if you are sweating too much, these will get a bit slippery at times and need readjustment. The abrasive nose piece helps to keep the glasses on your nose even when sweating, but they can still slip off if not careful in that situation.

They are very lightweight and clamping pressure is acceptable, though noticeable. You get used to it but that feeling of my nose bridge being grabbed doesn't really go fully away while they are on.

Overall, these have been an improvement for my situation, because I have nerve issues near one ear and can't wear glasses with arms for very long - as a substitute to regular glasses, these are doing the job for me. I tend to take them on/off during the day to give my nose bridge a chance to relax from the abrasive surface and it has never gotten very bad.

Best idea ever

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Color: Black Case / Blue FramesLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 2 xVerified Purchase

These are great. One of my best purchases ever. Stick them on the back of your cell phone and reading glasses are always handy when you need them. No more leaving them behind and having to borrow from someone when trying to read a menu. Seems to be made securely and sticks well after a few minutes. Glasses aren’t super sturdy but they don’t need to be. Meant to be worn for a few minutes and then replaced
In the case which holds them securely and they don’t fall out. Fit nicely on your nose. There are no ear pieces but they stay in place great without it. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Good lightweight pair of readers. Easy to carrier in my pocket. Easy to use.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

Color: Black Case / Purple FramesLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 1.5 xVerified Purchase

When I got these readers, I was thrilled. I immediately put them on and tested them with my laptop. They work great. I can write on my laptop and watch the TV. They do what I want to do. The other use I have for them is to go out and eat. They are small and light. Viewing a menu is easy. I can then take them off to eat and talk with the people with me. Drawbacks. They won't stay on in the outside wind. They are highly reflective when I wear them in a big box store. It is also not a good idea to wear them while cooking, or doing anything over a sink or other porcelain facility. A simple sneeze, cough, or wrinkle of my nose causes them to magically jump off my nose. I still highly recommend them. Just be aware of the drawbacks and you'll like them too.

Game changer!

Color: Black Case / Black FramesLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 2.5 xVerified Purchase

These are awesome. I attached the case to the back of my phone and now ALWAYS have reading glasses available to read texts, websites, etc. I use them many times a day. They seem durable for how thin they are, although one pair did eventually break. If you need reading glasses on the go, these are perfect.

Not durable but very useful to have always available it in the back of your phone

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024

Color: Dog LineLens Width: 44.45 MillimetersMagnification Strength: 1 xVerified Purchase

I bought 2 pairs about 2 weeks apart in august 2023, one broke at the nose bridge. like late last year (dec 2023) the other broke now in april 2024, so neither made it to a year, but was 30 dlls worth it, yes. Fist time i use glasses. Not sure if i am a rough user, dont think so but i am not a very careful user either....,but i did use 2, meaning wore each one less than i would have worn just one, likely would not even have lasted 4 months?

Since i have no idea if there are similar products as thin and hideable as these, so im ordering 2 more again.
