For the past ninety days, I've been testing a pair of budget-friendly reading glasses from Mozaer. I was in the market for new readers but didn't want to break the bank. That's when I came across their "Myopia Glasses Women Mens Glasses European and American Style Retro Cat Eye Reading Glasses" on sale. The low price made me skeptical about quality, but I decided to take a chance. Below is my detailed, day-by-day account of living with these glasses.
On paper, these affordable spectacles promised quite a bit. The product photos showed a stylish design, and they appeared sturdy enough for daily wear. My biggest worries were whether the lenses would offer clear, accurate vision for my prescription and how comfortable they'd be during long reading sessions.
My expectations were straightforward:
The glasses arrived in simple yet protective packaging. To my relief, they looked exactly like the online images. I had chosen the "Tea" color, which was pleasantly subtle, and a -2.0 strength for my prescription.
My initial take was that they felt quite lightweight, which immediately raised questions about long-term durability. However, the retro cat-eye shape was flattering and stylish. Putting them on to read, the vision was perfectly clear—a major point in their favor. The only immediate downside was a slight tightness behind my ears.
Verdict: A positive first impression, though I had concerns about long-term comfort and sturdiness.
The first week was all about adjustment. The pressure behind my ears was noticeable, so I carefully bent the arms outward to loosen the fit, which helped somewhat. I also made a point of wearing them only for short stretches initially to let my head adapt.
I quickly learned the lenses smudged very easily, requiring cleaning several times a day. I started carrying a microfiber cloth everywhere. When clean, the vision remained excellent for all my activities: reading books, working on the computer, and watching TV.
My adjustment tactics included:
Verdict: The fit required tweaking, and the lenses are smudge-prone, but vision quality is solid. If you're interested, you can find them at the Mozaer Lens Shop.
