Our take on the The Sterling

The Sterling is a round reading frame built to be worn two ways: pushed down the nose as a half reader or worn high as a full reader, since the magnification runs across the whole lens. The retro round shape suits oval and square faces and comes in Green, Tortoise/Bronze, Red and Black. Reviewers call it stylish, comfortable and sturdy for the money, and many like the flexibility of switching between half and full reading. The main complaints are that the frames eventually break with heavy use and that the lenses divide opinion.
