Having discovered I'd left my handbag reading glasses somewhere and didn't
have them for my lace class, I decided I needed some off-the-peg ones to
scatter in various places so I'd never be in a position of not being able to
do anything again. I already have prescription ones in the dining room, in
the bedroom and (usually) in my handbag.
I bought a pair from a local supermarket magnification 3.5 which means I can
get really close. Then by chance while searching through the TV channels
came across QVC UK who were selling packs of reading glasses. This had to be
fate. So I bought a pack of 7 pairs of "Essential" of 3x (the maximum they
did) for the ridiculously low price of £22.25 plus postage - FOR 7 PAIRS! I
bought that pack because they are shallow and I can use them like half
glasses and look over the top of them. One pair was a folding pair - added
to my handbag; one pair almond shaped - went to the charity shop along with
one of the two black pairs, leaving me with 5 plus the ones from the
supermarket
I now have 2 spare pairs in the glove compartment of my car, folding ones in
my usual use handbag alongside a prescription pair, a pair in each of the
two other handbags I frequently use and a pair in my knitting bag.
QVC are still selling them along with another 7-pair set "Ultimate" - larger
lenses and one pair of sunglasses in place of the folding pair that I have
for £20.28 plus postage. A "Hummingbird" set of 4 pairs for £14.97, a set of
two pairs with LED lights for £24.25 and some Joan Rivers ones.
I'm delighted with them. Don't know if QVC in any other countries are
selling them. No connection with QVC - just highly satisfied with my reading
glasses from them.
