These would be great as “work” glasses for remodel jobs, painting, high risk yard work, etc. Also for families who can’t afford appts.and glasses. And for people in countries with low access to care and funds. Teachers could use them to find out if their students performance issues may be related vision. Maybe on the beach or hiking, to avoid risking expensive RX glasses. It’s basically like the refraction lens options at the optometrist, but attached to a frame.
I got an $800 pair of Tom Fords with the new Gen Transition lenses added, anti-glare, etc. These glasses are incredible, I was looking at these cheap glasses, they may work for some people as an alternative, but for me they’d likely be a worse option. So in my case, the more expensive the better.
If they’re good for work I would like them, just got my MK lens crafters glasses this summer, and very pricey I should of gotten bifocals. It’s hard for me to read the blood tubes in the lab and the computer. I have to take them off or slide them down my nose .
They are also great for folks having cataract surgery in both eyes, as you typically have one eye done, and then X days later you do the other eye. And then, after both surgeries are done-you need a new eye prescription you have to wait a long time (months). These are great in that you can still see during that timeframe where one eye surgery is done and the other is not. and then again after the second eye is done while you are waiting for healing to complete so that you can go get permanent glasses again.
Thank you for this unbiased review! I'm just now hearing about these glasses and was considering getting a pair. So in 2017, they were $20. Now, a company called Hiro Vision is selling them at a "50% discount" of $60. So they bought them at wholesale (or below) and apparently are selling them at a markup of 3x retail. That's scummy. I would buy them for $20. But I'm not going to get them from a knock off company or from someone with an overstocked warehouse.
Since you wear the ORIGINAL DIAL VISION all the time, I wonder if it cause dizziness, headache, sore eye... anything like that ? Thanks in advance, for I am interested in getting a pair, for everyday use -- nearsightedness and reading / detail work (close up).
This has been seven years and I just saw a commercial for it 4/7/24. After seven years, you would think they did a little tweaking on these glasses, but they seem to look exactly the same as they did seven years ago.
@@adobahbotchway Don't buy! The pair I received yesterday, ``-11-1014, were very cheaply made. The dial on the left did not turn at all without pain to my thumb and forefinger, and the right was just a little bit better. The instructions mention neither the name nor phone number of the manufacturer, nor is there any way to return them. I'm going to give them to my optometrist as an example to show patients who may ask about them. I should have remembered two proverbs: (1) You get what you pay for; (2) If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
I've had mine about a year. Works pretty well. Cheaply made but still working. I adjust them often for close up and distance. The adjustments still work fine. I wipe the outside glasses and leave the in between area alone. It takes a few minutes to go through the adjustment when you first take them out of the box but I can now do it in seconds. If they don't do anything for you They are probably not adjusted right. Follow the instructions. Mine work. I give them 3 stars, ok but quality could have been better. I can see the tv much better with them. Not $200 glasses but didn't cost that either.
Would love to see an update on your eye condition now. These cheap Chinese plastic lenses are really bad for your eyes, they are not optically clear and your eyes will be damaged by daily use.
When I saw these being advertised online, I thought it was odd that they didn’t show one person actually wearing these glasses! If you look at the pictures of people, happily reading, and doing things, they are not wearing these glasses! I was afraid of what they would look like, so I did not order them and came to RUclips and thankfully here you are!
Many RUclips ads today are like that, total scams selling a product but never showing it or using other people's videos such as this one. A few clips of him putting these on are now showing up in the new PrimaFocus ad campaign selling the same product, just under a different name.
Thank you so much, I've been thinking about getting a pair. For occasional vision times. Like to small a print, and such. You are the only guy I trust his reviews on RUclips, or actually anywhere.
It seems quite handy for home use. My one eye is +3.00 while the other sits at -0.75 - it's a heckuva challenge to keep both eyes in focus. Adjustable lenses might be a solution
I thought the same thing, but I don’t think the distance sight and near site would work with his glasses while driving when you’re constantly looking at the distance in front of you and then looking at your dashboard read out
Just got new glasses this year for the first time in 4 years, and decided to splurge on a pair of matching prescription sunglasses. Now I have trouble remembering to switch to my indoor glasses when I go into stores. I’m pretty sure if I wore THOSE glasses into a store, folks’d look at me even funnier than they do now. Lol. Great review.. I was wondering about these things.
Four years ago I was at the eye doctor and was asked if I wanted to help with the development of a product. A kind Asian man who was working on making this type of glasses for children in need asked questions and ran tests while I wore them. Basically I was at the eye doctor for an extra hour but got paid $15 to do so.
I would think the purpose of these glasses is eliminating the need for having many reading glasses of strengths ranging from +1.00 to +4.50. Using them instead of actual prescription glasses for far vision is a bad idea due to peripheral vision. Hopefully these are good for hobbyists, mechanics, etc. - those that need the ability to focus from arm's length to an inch in front of the nose.
Cool idea and everything but could definitely use some serious upgrades such as maybe somehow making the entire lens adjustable and having different frame styles for sure.
Oh they won’t. I think they will keep them like this forever. Cuz if they perfect them the glasses industry would lose billions. Cuz people would only buy one or 2 pair and that will be it forever. I think it’s a great idea I’m gonna buy a pair and try em for sure. But as for them perfecting them and styling them I doubt it. It would be great if they do cuz that will actually help everyone who need glasses and don’t wanna spend almost $1k on a pair of damn glasses plus the visit and the prescription it’s stupid pricey. And then you go to a place like Americas best and they screw up your glasses over and over and over smh it’s happen to me I know. Lol terrible. So I lost over $500 on jacked up glasses and couldn’t get my money back from that terrible company.
Thank you for this review. Due to health reasons, my MIL has been unable to see the doc to update her already old glasses. She is now in a nursing home & has very little near sight. Thanks to you, we now have a solution!!!
Just bought a pair today, so thanks for the review. Like a previous comment, I've had a retina detachment surgery and then a cataract surgery, with a single lens. My eyes are still healing and my original glasses are varifocal, so I'm struggling to see through them now. If that wasn't bad enough, recently diagnosed with cancer means chemo is on the way and was told your vision, alter with the treatment, so in my case a new prescription pair is at least 6+months into the future, so hopefully these will be ideal in the interim.
Thanks for this demonstration, I looked to find out if you had Clearview glasses as I saw online a couple weeks ago and noticed it was 7 years ago under a new name but I would still buy it for a handy reading supplement due to your advice,and also seen another video you made on RUclips I might buy too, you’re great 👍
Hi, just wanted to let you know this company of these glasses are using a small like 5 second clip of this youtube video within their ad I saw on youtube. I don't know if it's anything troublesome but I wanted to mention it and this video seemed to be a relevant place for passing this along.
Would you recommend for computer? My glasses at the computer don’t work they way they do with just regular far sight seeing. I have to actually pull my regular glasses off my face by an inch to bring letter on screen into focus.
There was a company called Superfocus about 10 years ago. They didn't make it, went bankrupt, had a lot of funding. They were $600 and worked perfectly...I had a pair. They were very, very ugly.
Ok. I've used a variety of these, literally for years. Great for watching television, great for finding my regular glasses ( when I set them down while preoccupied with other things) great for computer work as you adjust them for more comfort, less eye strain, than one's prescription glasses. HOWEVER, I strongly advise against trying to wash them. The pair that I tried to clean retained liquid between the sliding surfaces and I never had them right after that. Maybe you can figure out a way to do it successfully. Overall, I have a pair for t.v. and a spare in the drawer. As you say, they cannot correct to perfect 20/20, but close enough to use as back ups for reading and distance.
As there is no way to really get between the lenses, cleaning with a liquid could be problematic. I tend to just wipe the outer lenses off with a cloth.
I saw an ad for these on another RUclips video I was watching, so I searched for a review on them and found your video. KUDOS to you for your honest review of them. I too do not like the way they look, what with the resemblance to the old "Coke bottle" style lenses. One thing you did not mention was: When you were driving and you had the dials set for distant vision, how was the clarity of them when you needed to look at your dash instruments, e.g. the speedometer and other dials / instruments?
My issue is one eye prescription is different from the other. My vision changes depending on the amount of light. Might be worth getting for certain situation like reading in low light, watching TV, or going to the movies.
This is an older review but when a commercial for these popped up today they showed you as part of their commercial so of course I had to watch the review. Based on your review I'm going to buy a pair to keep around for emergencies but now they cost almost twice as much.
I must say I like his hair. His little long bits of curls. He has on the ends there one's Flippin out and one's Flippin. In that is so cute. He looks good back then. Man awesome, I love this video.
The great thing about them is that they work for anyone. Have one or two of these in your house and whenever someone visits and forgot or lost their glasses you can lend them these.
These might be ok for doing special tasks around the house if you temporarily need something stronger. You can dial it in for sharpness on the tiny task you need. But they would not work if you need a stronger than +3 prescription. Maybe you could wear them and adjust them over your regular glasses for a temporary fix? Most would do well to just buy some fixed magnification at the store so they do not look so unusual in public. Get one pair for driving and one for reading and maybe another that are in between that can do both in a pinch. I did that when I broke my regular glasses. It was a hassle using different glasses and carrying around two pair. Most should just fork out the bucks and get progressive lenses so to see with perfect vision at every distance. Here is the limit on these glasses power wise. "Dial Vision matches your prescription for each eye with power from -6D to +3D"
Good review. Thank you. I don't know if I will be getting them or not. I spit coffee out when you said you were seeing triple street lights and they are pretty ugly.
They need to do a little more work on the design, but it’s a great concept. My issue is that if you drive, this may be a disaster in the making. They’ll be good for reading only since peripheral vision is VERY important while driving.
Many of us wear glasses that would have to have lenses over a half inch thick at their edges to have everything in a wide field of view in perfect focus. At one point I had glasses like that, but for several decades glasses have been prescribed for me that require me to turn my head rather than move my eyes. I am much more aware of my environment and have a faster reaction time than anyone I have ever met. Tests have shown that my peripheral vision (without turning my head) is way above average. Stuff just isn't in perfect focus. My field of vision is very near 180 degrees, well beyond the outer edges of any glasses. If a penny 40 feet away rolled into the area that I see to the side of my glasses, I would instantly know it even though eye charts would test my vision in that area as legally blind. Forget about perfect focus and turn your head.
Just got an ad for them, so wanted to see an unbiased review. I just got prescription glasses, so don't need them. The lack of peripheral vision isn't good, especially for driving. Maybe a top glasses maker could get the rights and make quality versions of them, with a wider view. Plus some antireflection coating would help with the double images at night.
EYE GLASS STORES IN USA IS VERY PRIMITIVE COMPARE WITH SOUTH KOREAN EYE GLASS STORES. In South Korea only takes 10 minutes READY TO GO . High Tech Equipment.
These are total junk. Cheap plastic, feel like the free glasses you get at a 3D movies. Adjusters don’t work at all. Total, total waste of money. Don’t even consider them.
Thank you for risking your life while driving in order to give these dial a vision glasses a shake down. Bless you your a wonderful human being. I need a pair of these because I am not able to get my eyes checked at Wal mart. Seriously. Thank you sincerely!😅
These Actually Work, I can see stars in the sky again, Note, I have purchased From 2 different sellers, 1 was higher quality(way thicker plastic) the other was thin plastic including lenses, look for the High Quality ones, usually mentions "high quality" the thinner ones worked also but the lenses didn't hold up like the thicker ones, the thicker ones came in a box, I paid $15 for the thicker ones
I love these, I need glasses to find my glasses! Yes, the design is ugly and cheap, but it's a quick temporary solution to a frustrating problem. I always keep these around for when mine break or I lose them.
It's like in the movie "Major League" after Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn gets his new hideous glasses: Lou Brown: "After all, seeing is the important thing" Willie Mays Hayes: "It ain't that important".
Cons: Ugly, cheap feel with small field if vision. Pros: adjustable on the fly for both distance and reading. Good for a backup pair or convenient use adjusting between crafts, reading, house repairs etc around the house where no one cares how ugly they are.
I had a pair for about 2 years and loved them... except that they are not very stylish. Eventually they got too dirty and I tried to clean them which completely ruined them. But you can FEEL when you get it dialed in both up close and for distance. They are a great option as an emergency pair of glasses.
Picked up an unused pair for $2.99 that I eyed at the local Goodwill yesterday; that seemed like a reasonable deal. Although it does fill in a gap in preparedness for oneself or others. Thanks for the video!
Lucky you, what a great way to try things out !!! For there are stuffs out there don't live up to their expectations. It's been 5 months at this moment of my stumbled onto your comment, and wondering what's your experience is like -- too heavy due to double lens, too clumsy due to all the moving parts...ect. My intention is to use it everyday -- indoor/outdoor/reading, no driving though.
@@scottyee2479 I tried them on briefly to see if I could dial them in, which I could (I'm near-sighted, and have otherwise mild and stable vision issues further out - probably like the uploader). The issue was having a relatively small field of proper vision, almost like looking through binoculars. I'll try them around the house and outside a bit and get back to you.
I am fascinated by this idea but yes they are super ugly. 😂 I honestly wouldn’t mind the smaller lenses. They’re larger than my current ones actually. I just have a really old prescription and tried getting new ones and kept having to return them because they’d get the prescription wrong. I finally gave up and just kept using my old ones. 😂 But I’m really tempted by something like this that I could adjust as I need to.
If you want them for just reading, that would be the best idea. If you have an actual prescription, these will fill the bill until you get your prescription replaced, whereas Walmart glasses won't. With regular magnified reading glasses, you have to choose your power. And your prescription probably won't be an exact power that they sell. It might be 2.743325 or some such. With these, until your prescription arrives, you can dial it into the exact prescription based upon your visual needs. And if your prescription is different for each eye, you can dial in each eye to the exact prescription value based on what you see. But just for reading? Nope. These are more than you need.
I purchased 3 pairs of these IN GOOD FAITH based on their false advertisement but when I got them, they were absolute garbage. The quality is very cheap, and I could not get any of them to focus properly. The company offered me 50% discount to keep three pairs of junk glasses I cannot use or pay for shipping in order to get a refund. Absolutely ridiculous that it has to cost me money to return the garbage they sell and falsely advertise. I hope that RUclips that claim to care about misinformation removes their Ads so that no more people get victimized by this company.
It's a decent review. I could do without 4 times of saying they aren't stylish, I don't care if they are or not. I care about being able to see in many situations. Near the end you commented..and my intimidate reply, which the people around me started laughing and agreed, did you clean them? What I'm wondering about is would I be okay with changing the magnification often, and how well will that last? How easy are these to scratch?
I COMPLETELY agree with you. Mine don't work AT ALL EITHER- even the adjuster knobs wont turn at all. Tomorrow, I am going to take a pair of pliers to those knobs- see if I can shift them with the pliers- if they break doesn't matter because they are 100% useless anyway.
@@NikhchansGaming There is a very expensive type of eyewear for people who are blind. The contraption looks like that blind guy wears on Star Trek. Unfortunately, once vision is lost completely from glaucoma it is not fixable.
@@DarleneYoungartist Yes I am aware of those. Its a camera which projects video to periphery of the vision. Yes I am aware of the Glaucoma's Irrevocability. My father does have severe glaucoma with a very high number. But he is taking some natural treatments and he felt he had made some improvement in his vision. He wanted to check if he had reduced his number.
I'm going to buy a pair of these, I'm not looking to wear them in public, I want / need a pair of shop glasses so I can focus better on computer / laptop repairs, looks like these will fit the bill!
To be classed as safe for driving, you need to have an adequate level of vision. As well as measuring the central field of vision, peripheral vision must also be taken into account. Under the current requirements, you need to have a peripheral field of vision of 120 degrees of the central fixation point. These will never work for driving or people with astigmatism & long term use will cause problems for those that wear Rx glasses. I would only recommend these as an emergency wear for close vision requirements.
I probably wouldn't wear it everyday use, but I have a lot of issues getting my Rx correct for the computer use. This may be helpful to dial in better while using the computer.
I bought this product! The glasses came with the lenses scratched so that they could not be used, even if they worked, because they are visibly of poor quality. The adjustments do not work well, and the fact that they are two lenses prevents the vision from adjusting through them ... there is always the sensation of double vision, blurred, regardless of the adjustment that is applied (with a lot of effort and time, since nothing works well on this product). The product in general sucks: very weak plastics, imprecise and precarious adjustments, poor quality plastic lenses that are already useless and absolutely damaged in the packaging ... the only part that seems to have any quality is the packaging itself, which, obviously, it went to waste along with the whole set. Even guidance paper is of the lowest quality possible - even toilet paper is better than that!
If someone reads this, what strength of reading glasses would I need for a 50 inch TV from a distance of 7-8 feet? I bought some 3.50 on Amazon and they are great for small devices and monitors, but not for my tele. Sadly I can't find any mixed strength offers on Amazon. You can only pick one strength per pack.
After cataract surgery, I needed some far vision (until I could have a prescription ground). I bought a pair as a stopgap measure, thinking this cheap how could I go wrong.. I'm satisfied enuf, I'm not sure I will get a prescription pair now. My Cat. lenses give me close vision from about 4" to 15" for reading and computer work. The Dial Vision pair makes it possible to see the individual leaves in top of my 70' oak tree, read the license plate across the street, see planes landing 3 miles away AND see the large craters on the moon. Not good for driving for lack of good peripheral coverage but then I cant drive anymore, so who cares. Id recommend em as a great backup pair if nothing else..
Beware ...not what they show on TV. Very poor quality frame n lens.. Look like toy stuff and Especially in India very bad Return Policy... Not at all worth a penny..
I totally agree with you, I wasted my money, No way to get in contact with them to get a refund on this piece of garbage, I was really hopping this wasn't another scam, but I was wrong.
I have gotten response from them and multiple e-mails. They will not honor their money back guarantee. Please don't be fooled by this company or lookalikes. Will be reported.

They have them but they are like 90 bucks they are called eyejusters
There was a company called Superfocus about 10 years ago. They didn't make it, went bankrupt, had a lot of funding. They were $600 and worked perfectly...I had a pair. They were very, very ugly.
Right idea, agree with you.
I don't think the testimonies are truthful. The ones I received are nothing more than total junk. Waisted my hard earned money!!!
Thank you, I was curious how do they work?
Thanks for your review fella.Its a fair balanced review, well presented. high fiving you brother.
Thanks for your opinion, it is very useful.
Ok. I've used a variety of these, literally for years. Great for watching television, great for finding my regular glasses ( when I set them down while preoccupied with other things) great for computer work as you adjust them for more comfort, less eye strain, than one's prescription glasses.
HOWEVER, I strongly advise against trying to wash them. The pair that I tried to clean retained liquid between the sliding surfaces and I never had them right after that. Maybe you can figure out a way to do it successfully.
Overall, I have a pair for t.v. and a spare in the drawer. As you say, they cannot correct to perfect 20/20, but close enough to use as back ups for reading and distance.
There seems to be a wide variety of views on these, but mostly terrible, it has to be said.
As there is no way to really get between the lenses, cleaning with a liquid could be problematic. I tend to just wipe the outer lenses off with a cloth.
Yep. That's about as good as can be.
I saw an ad for these on another RUclips video I was watching, so I searched for a review on them and found your video. KUDOS to you for your honest review of them. I too do not like the way they look, what with the resemblance to the old "Coke bottle" style lenses. One thing you did not mention was: When you were driving and you had the dials set for distant vision, how was the clarity of them when you needed to look at your dash instruments, e.g. the speedometer and other dials / instruments?
Are they adjustable enough to use as monovision (one eye for close, one for far away)?
My issue is one eye prescription is different from the other. My vision changes depending on the amount of light. Might be worth getting for certain situation like reading in low light, watching TV, or going to the movies.
ORDERED MINE 3 MONTHS AGO >>>>STILL WAITING PASS IT ON>
What range of adjustment do they have? Do they cover both negative and positive diopter powers? I see they provide no correction for astigmatism.
Some people don't have hundreds of dollars to buy eyeglasses. This is great in spite of their drawbacks.
This is an older review but when a commercial for these popped up today they showed you as part of their commercial so of course I had to watch the review. Based on your review I'm going to buy a pair to keep around for emergencies but now they cost almost twice as much.
I wonder how the buildup of grit gets between the two lenses on each eye and how hard it is to clean that area.
I must say I like his hair. His little long bits of curls. He has on the ends there one's Flippin out and one's Flippin. In that is so cute. He looks good back then. Man awesome, I love this video.
The great thing about them is that they work for anyone. Have one or two of these in your house and whenever someone visits and forgot or lost their glasses you can lend them these.
These might be ok for doing special tasks around the house if you temporarily need something stronger. You can dial it in for sharpness on the tiny task you need. But they would not work if you need a stronger than +3 prescription. Maybe you could wear them and adjust them over your regular glasses for a temporary fix? Most would do well to just buy some fixed magnification at the store so they do not look so unusual in public. Get one pair for driving and one for reading and maybe another that are in between that can do both in a pinch. I did that when I broke my regular glasses. It was a hassle using different glasses and carrying around two pair. Most should just fork out the bucks and get progressive lenses so to see with perfect vision at every distance. Here is the limit on these glasses power wise.
"Dial Vision matches your prescription for each eye with power from -6D to +3D"
Good review. Thank you. I don't know if I will be getting them or not. I spit coffee out when you said you were seeing triple street lights and they are pretty ugly.
Mine were all scratched on arrival, not recommended, stick to high street shops
wear them on halloween and scare folks.......
7 years old video? Weird how I heard about these glasses just today. 😲
They need to do a little more work on the design, but it’s a great concept. My issue is that if you drive, this may be a disaster in the making. They’ll be good for reading only since peripheral vision is VERY important while driving.
My new issue is super bright headlights at practically blind you. So I would not wear these at night.
Many of us wear glasses that would have to have lenses over a half inch thick at their edges to have everything in a wide field of view in perfect focus. At one point I had glasses like that, but for several decades glasses have been prescribed for me that require me to turn my head rather than move my eyes. I am much more aware of my environment and have a faster reaction time than anyone I have ever met. Tests have shown that my peripheral vision (without turning my head) is way above average. Stuff just isn't in perfect focus. My field of vision is very near 180 degrees, well beyond the outer edges of any glasses. If a penny 40 feet away rolled into the area that I see to the side of my glasses, I would instantly know it even though eye charts would test my vision in that area as legally blind. Forget about perfect focus and turn your head.
Excellent video and you answered all the questions I had in my head.👌🏽
Although the product is poor quality you still put in the time to give a relatively thorough review. Thanks.
I heard this was a scam company selling the scam glasswear!
Just got an ad for them, so wanted to see an unbiased review. I just got prescription glasses, so don't need them. The lack of peripheral vision isn't good, especially for driving.
Maybe a top glasses maker could get the rights and make quality versions of them, with a wider view. Plus some antireflection coating would help with the double images at night.
good revew. thats what i wanted to know about how it looks from the sides.. i like your picture in the background of the forest and river.
Yeah, I thought that was a nice picture too.
EYE GLASS STORES IN USA IS VERY PRIMITIVE COMPARE WITH SOUTH KOREAN EYE GLASS STORES. In South Korea only takes 10 minutes READY TO GO . High Tech Equipment.
the perfect glasses for when you're trying to find your glasses
These are total junk. Cheap plastic, feel like the free glasses you get at a 3D movies. Adjusters don’t work at all. Total, total waste of money. Don’t even consider them.
Haha!!!yes!!
He’s probably an optometrists or for an eyewear company lol
Hahaha! 🤓🤓🤓
Right idea, just awful “ghost” selling company...buy at your own risk!
Thank you for risking your life while driving in order to give these dial a vision glasses a shake down. Bless you your a wonderful human being. I need a pair of these because I am not able to get my eyes checked at Wal mart. Seriously. Thank you sincerely!😅
So, note to Dial Vision, increase the FoV for your next iteration and you'll increase your sales considerably.
Good strategy...don't forget to pay the workers more too
Thanks for posting this, and the style is preeetty good, considering that you need the dial thingies up top...
These Actually Work, I can see stars in the sky again, Note, I have purchased From 2 different sellers, 1 was higher quality(way thicker plastic) the other was thin plastic including lenses, look for the High Quality ones, usually mentions "high quality" the thinner ones worked also but the lenses didn't hold up like the thicker ones, the thicker ones came in a box, I paid $15 for the thicker ones
I love these, I need glasses to find my glasses! Yes, the design is ugly and cheap, but it's a quick temporary solution to a frustrating problem. I always keep these around for when mine break or I lose them.
..this sounds like when I have a phone to find my phone.
@@sweetbeep I was using my phone as a flashlight to look for my phone...😩📱
It's like in the movie "Major League" after Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn gets his new hideous glasses:
Lou Brown: "After all, seeing is the important thing"
Willie Mays Hayes: "It ain't that important".
Cons: Ugly, cheap feel with small field if vision. Pros: adjustable on the fly for both distance and reading. Good for a backup pair or convenient use adjusting between crafts, reading, house repairs etc around the house where no one cares how ugly they are.
But it. Can't work on astigmatic patient
I had a pair for about 2 years and loved them... except that they are not very stylish. Eventually they got too dirty and I tried to clean them which completely ruined them. But you can FEEL when you get it dialed in both up close and for distance. They are a great option as an emergency pair of glasses.
We’re they hard to cleaned or you didn’t know how to properly do it?
Thanks in advanced. I’m interested in a pair for garage work.
Thank you for this video! These glasses are right now promoted on RUclips Germany quite cheap, but I won´t buy them.
Picked up an unused pair for $2.99 that I eyed at the local Goodwill yesterday; that seemed like a reasonable deal. Although it does fill in a gap in preparedness for oneself or others. Thanks for the video!
Lucky you, what a great way to try things out !!! For there are stuffs out there don't live up to their expectations. It's been 5 months at this moment of my stumbled onto your comment, and wondering what's your experience is like -- too heavy due to double lens, too clumsy due to all the moving parts...ect. My intention is to use it everyday -- indoor/outdoor/reading, no driving though.
@@scottyee2479 I tried them on briefly to see if I could dial them in, which I could (I'm near-sighted, and have otherwise mild and stable vision issues further out - probably like the uploader). The issue was having a relatively small field of proper vision, almost like looking through binoculars. I'll try them around the house and outside a bit and get back to you.
Thanks Heisenberg.
Just came from a one glass commercial. If only they made the field of vision bigger with wider lenses. Thanks for the review.
I was just looking for a review like this .. great !
if you read the review you don't need glasses......
As an emergency back up, they are great.
If you break your -3 diopters, this will work.
Prescription, more comfortable.
Good review.
About $25.
I am fascinated by this idea but yes they are super ugly. 😂 I honestly wouldn’t mind the smaller lenses. They’re larger than my current ones actually. I just have a really old prescription and tried getting new ones and kept having to return them because they’d get the prescription wrong. I finally gave up and just kept using my old ones. 😂 But I’m really tempted by something like this that I could adjust as I need to.
EXCELLENT REVIEW. The narrowness of a field of view is the critical to me. Thanks.
Why not just buy a backup pair of glasses from walmart?
If you want them for just reading, that would be the best idea. If you have an actual prescription, these will fill the bill until you get your prescription replaced, whereas Walmart glasses won't. With regular magnified reading glasses, you have to choose your power. And your prescription probably won't be an exact power that they sell. It might be 2.743325 or some such. With these, until your prescription arrives, you can dial it into the exact prescription based upon your visual needs. And if your prescription is different for each eye, you can dial in each eye to the exact prescription value based on what you see.
But just for reading? Nope. These are more than you need.
I'm having trouble reading subtitles on TV, so I hope these would work.
Try to look for ones that say high quality , which are thicker plastic, there are some very cheap knockoffs going around, they do work
I purchased 3 pairs of these IN GOOD FAITH based on their false advertisement but when I got them, they were absolute garbage. The quality is very cheap, and I could not get any of them to focus properly. The company offered me 50% discount to keep three pairs of junk glasses I cannot use or pay for shipping in order to get a refund. Absolutely ridiculous that it has to cost me money to return the garbage they sell and falsely advertise. I hope that RUclips that claim to care about misinformation removes their Ads so that no more people get victimized by this company.
Agree they are absolutely crap! Don't buy! Share this with your friends NOT TO BUY! Meg from South Australia
Agree they are crap! Don't buy! I made that mistake!! Meg
Made me certain of not getting some.
It's a decent review. I could do without 4 times of saying they aren't stylish, I don't care if they are or not. I care about being able to see in many situations. Near the end you commented..and my intimidate reply, which the people around me started laughing and agreed, did you clean them? What I'm wondering about is would I be okay with changing the magnification often, and how well will that last? How easy are these to scratch?
Terrible. I couldn't get them to work AT ALL ! I bought them based on this youtube review and I am thoroughly disappointed. Complete rubbish.
it's rubbish!
Why
You probably have an astigmatism and these glasses won't correct for that.
I COMPLETELY agree with you. Mine don't work AT ALL EITHER- even the adjuster knobs wont turn at all. Tomorrow, I am going to take a pair of pliers to those knobs- see if I can shift them with the pliers- if they break doesn't matter because they are 100% useless anyway.
Thank You! Wonder if someone will make a better version?
Too much emphasis on the look. Screw the look I can't see!!
ahahahahahahahhaahahaha i am dead bro my dad said the same thing
How are you living through life?
@@YoungBlaze Quite fine. I can see just fine. I a looking for my father, who has glaucoma. Thanks for asking.
@@NikhchansGaming There is a very expensive type of eyewear for people who are blind. The contraption looks like that blind guy wears on Star Trek. Unfortunately, once vision is lost completely from glaucoma it is not fixable.
@@DarleneYoungartist Yes I am aware of those. Its a camera which projects video to periphery of the vision. Yes I am aware of the Glaucoma's Irrevocability. My father does have severe glaucoma with a very high number. But he is taking some natural treatments and he felt he had made some improvement in his vision. He wanted to check if he had reduced his number.
Or can i use it for driving too? thank you
I'm going to buy a pair of these, I'm not looking to wear them in public, I want / need a pair of shop glasses so I can focus better on computer / laptop repairs, looks like these will fit the bill!
oh, and EXCELLENT REVIEW !
Thank you! Let me know what you think of them. They're cheap and ugly, but they kinda work.
Don't do it. They are very toy like. If you touch them, it make them go out of focus. China piece of junk.
İt is complete rabish. don't do it
To be classed as safe for driving, you need to have an adequate level of vision. As well as measuring the central field of vision, peripheral vision must also be taken into account. Under the current requirements, you need to have a peripheral field of vision of 120 degrees of the central fixation point. These will never work for driving or people with astigmatism & long term use will cause problems for those that wear Rx glasses. I would only recommend these as an emergency wear for close vision requirements.
Perfect for when I'm on the computer. Which is all day !!
I probably wouldn't wear it everyday use, but I have a lot of issues getting my Rx correct for the computer use. This may be helpful to dial in better while using the computer.
I also bought 'Dial Vision'. I bought two plus one(2+1). To begin with, I was swindled. The video is lying.
The reflection on those things are crazy!
I bought this product! The glasses came with the lenses scratched so that they could not be used, even if they worked, because they are visibly of poor quality. The adjustments do not work well, and the fact that they are two lenses prevents the vision from adjusting through them ... there is always the sensation of double vision, blurred, regardless of the adjustment that is applied (with a lot of effort and time, since nothing works well on this product). The product in general sucks: very weak plastics, imprecise and precarious adjustments, poor quality plastic lenses that are already useless and absolutely damaged in the packaging ... the only part that seems to have any quality is the packaging itself, which, obviously, it went to waste along with the whole set. Even guidance paper is of the lowest quality possible - even toilet paper is better than that!
I had the same problem. Just another cheap product. A waste of money
good to see you loved your new glasses..
If someone reads this, what strength of reading glasses would I need for a 50 inch TV from a distance of 7-8 feet? I bought some 3.50 on Amazon and they are great for small devices and monitors, but not for my tele. Sadly I can't find any mixed strength offers on Amazon. You can only pick one strength per pack.
Don't buy theses glasses they are rubbish.I would like to know how much they paid these reviewers
I wonder about astigmatism correction which I thought is needed sometimes, but maybe not?
Great review!
Thank you!
A
After cataract surgery, I needed some far vision (until I could have a prescription ground). I bought a pair as a stopgap measure, thinking this cheap how could I go wrong.. I'm satisfied enuf, I'm not sure I will get a prescription pair now. My Cat. lenses give me close vision from about 4" to 15" for reading and computer work. The Dial Vision pair makes it possible to see the individual leaves in top of my 70' oak tree, read the license plate across the street, see planes landing 3 miles away AND see the large craters on the moon. Not good for driving for lack of good peripheral coverage but then I cant drive anymore, so who cares. Id recommend em as a great backup pair if nothing else..
Beware ...not what they show on TV.
Very poor quality frame n lens..
Look like toy stuff and Especially in India very bad Return Policy...
Not at all worth a penny..
Where dd u order from?
who do you return them to
How much cost that adjustable glassis please
Absolute garbage. They don't answer e-mails regarding return/refund. I will be reporting to the Better Business Bureau.
So ... I'm assuming they don't work? Do they help a little bit at least?
@@tonykari5124 Not even a little.
I like the idea of the glasses,but same, the service is poor
I totally agree with you, I wasted my money, No way to get in contact with them to get a refund on this piece of garbage, I was really hopping this wasn't another scam, but I was wrong.
I have gotten response from them and multiple e-mails. They will not honor their money back guarantee. Please don't be fooled by this company or lookalikes. Will be reported.
I was thinking they would be good to read small print. Sometimes I have to wear 2 pairs of glasses or get a magnifying glass.
