Low Vision Glasses for Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetes and Cataracts RNIB | Unisex | Amber Lenses | Brown Frame

I bought these for my 90 year old Mum, she has glaucoma and her eyes are very sensitive to sunlight. She had a pair from RNIB but the frame wasn’t that strong. Mum is very fussy and when she put these new glasses on she was amazed that she could see that much clearer outside and no glare. She said her eyes were very well protected and no sunlight got in, which other glasses did. The glasses are strong and well made, they have a rubber grip at the end of the arms, which helps keep the glasses on the head and when you close them up protects the lenses.I would recommend to anyone.

Not had them long very flimsy sides and today while out fell apart opticians couldn't fix them

Although the glasses were not for me, the glasses seem to offer the comfort described.

The glasses proved to be absolutely great for my macular degeneration . Unfortunately I broke one of the legs on the glasses and messaged the company. I received an immediate response from the Nici asking me to return them for repair or replacement. On receipt he messaged me to say that they would send a replacement pair of glasses, which I received within two days. Would highly recommend this company for their fast personal service.

Clarity of vision wasn't a patch on my previous RNIB sunglasses. Those glasses had doubled in price, so I went online to find an alternative. These are no better than cheap ordinary sunglasses. For example, I can't see my sat navigation graphics while wearing these glasses, which was the massive advantage of my previous RNIB glasses. Not worth the price.

These glasses are great. They are 'wrap-around' which has a protective effect following eye surgery. The lenses reduce brightness and glare. When I first wore them, I was very aware that they provide an orange tint of what you see -- a bit strange at first, but I soon got used to this. I would recommend these glasses, and the fact that they're endorsed by the RNIB is reassuring. The delivery was super-fast.

My son has a form of Cone-rod Dystrophy; he ends up with mass saturation due to the lack of light blocking from degenerated cones. When he put these on he ran around talking about great contrast and shadows, he's still in the backyard looking at things. While I get these are probably not 'styled' for children, they fit well and the side-blocking view limits saturation creep from the sides, he was able to look towards me while the sun was behind me which was a big deal.

The general construction is do light and bendy that I was scared of the arms breaking off ever time I put on, or took off, my sun-glasses. Otherwise I was satisfied, and will recommend them until I find, or am directed to, a stronger, wrap-aound alternative.
