Our take on the High Power Reading Glasses G517 Amber Frame +6.50

These are round, plastic-framed reading glasses in a tortoise (amber) finish with spring hinges and bent temples, sold in a +6.50 diopter strength. That is a high magnification, meant for very close work such as reading fine print, sewing or model building, not for general wear. The 52 mm eye size and 8 × 4 × 4 in overall size put them in a standard-to-large round fit. No current price or price history is available for this model, so there is no recent range to compare against.

Questions and answers

Is +6.50 too strong for me?
+6.50 is near the top of the reading-glasses range and suits people who hold reading material very close, roughly 6 inches away. If you read at 12 to 16 inches, a +2.00 to +3.00 is usually the right choice. An optometrist can confirm your add power.
Can I wear these for computer work?
No. At +6.50 the screen would need to be about 6 inches from your eyes. Use a lower power, typically +1.00 to +2.00, for a monitor at arm's length.
What do the spring hinges do?
They let the temples flex outward past 90 degrees, so the frame is less likely to crack when you pull it on one-handed or set it down. They also ease pressure on the sides of the head.
Will these fit my face?
The 52 mm eye size and round shape suit most adult faces, including oval, round, square, heart and oblong. The spring hinges and bent temples add grip, but try them if your head is very wide or narrow.
What comes in the box?
Typically just the glasses, sometimes with a soft cloth or pouch. A hard case is rarely included at this price level, so plan to buy one.
When is the best time to buy?
Reading glasses see the deepest discounts during back-to-school and holiday sales and on multi-pair bundles. No current price is listed for this model, so compare stores before buying.
