voltX 'Constructor' SAFETY READERS (Clear +2.0 Dioptre) Full Lens Reading Safety Glasses UKCA & CE EN166f certified - Wraparound Style - Includes Safety Cord with headstop + UV400 anti fog coated lens

First impressions are good as they look and feel well made. The neck cord is particularly substantial with a large adjusting ball on it, ideal for big fingers. The lenses are good for reading, though not quite as good as my prescription glasses, but then these are a fraction of the price and primarily for use as safety glasses. Best focusing area is in the middle of the lenses. The curved nature of the lenses distort the view though its only really noticeable when looking at my iPad screen, it looks a little concave, the sides diverge upwards and the keyboard gets more narrow the nearer it gets to me, which is all a little weird. I bought these primarily to take with me when I go fishing as they stay firmly on my head while Im looking down and are more likely not to break when they are in my bag. The lenses are anti-fog and it works, as I tested them while cooking with steamy saucepans. I think I will prefer using these rather than my prescription safety glasses (they have a lens that falls out, loose hinges on the arms, plastic ear cover pieces that have come off the ends of the arms and a neck cord that keeps falling off). The only downside to these safety reading glasses is that they don't come with a bag or case, so I will have to find one.

Really good safety specs, able to see better with these, and still adhere to works safety PPE

Great product

I can see what I'm doing without struggling to look through a small area of bi-focal. They (mostly) stay in place if you need to contort to get a view on something. They're comfortable to wear. I knocked one star off because as others have noted, there is distortion out toward the edges that can make you feel a bit trippy, though I don't think that can be fixed with this design/style. Because they are "full frame" sighted you need to take them off when not doing close up work. Note that these will stop stuff zipping direct into your eyes, but brick/wood dust in the air can still fall behind them and get in your eyes. If you need that kind of protection get full-on goggles or a full face mask respirator jobbie.They have a good price point in comparison to many others I looked at. So far I cannot comment on the durability as I try to avoid doing things that cause shrapnel, and as I don't mistreat them I haven't noticed any scuffing or marking.

As a person of advancing age I have difficulty in seeing detail close-up (presbyopia caused by hardening of the lens of the eye). So when working with power tools I need optical correction to see safely what I am doing, but reading glasses do not provide the best protection. These safety glasses work very well to allow me to see clearly. I purchased a set of 1.0 dioptre for general work, and 2.0 dioptre for closer work (I use 2.5 dioptre reading glasses). Having used them to lay an oak floor (involving the use of a mitre saw, a circular saw, and a nail gun) I can report that they are just what I need, and I feel much more confidence in having proper eye protection. They are more convenient for me than bifocals, since I need the whole field of view corrected. When I look up to find something at a distance, I just take them off and let them hang on the provided cord. Quality is very good, this is an excellent price, and delivery was extremely fast - ordered on Friday and arrived on Monday.

They are excellent for close up work, not so good whilst walking around, they can be a little disorientating.

These are ideal safety glasses. With my eyesight worsening with age they help so much with detailed work. They fit well and are very comfortable.

Found these to be far less cumbersome and more comfortable than wearing safety overglasses in addition to prescription glasses. In that respect it is quite light weight. It is not fully comfortable however; the arms are pinching towards the rear so maybe a heat gun or hair drier andre-bending the shape of the arms will help. The nose pads are not adjustable; I assume that because it was not mentioned, unlike the Constructor Ultimate model. I would have bought the Ultimate model in the first place but only found bi-focals in that model. Reason I didn't buy that model because some reviews mentioned that owing to ?? small area of +Dioptre focal part, they had to tilt their head this way and that so as to get the benefit of magnification onto whatever they wished to look at.
