CONSTRUCTOR Bifocals

Bought these to follow my initial purchase of clear safety glasses; same super speed delivery, same snug fit to the head; same smooth windflow for cycling and the same 2.5 dioptre lens section suitable for reading the handlebar mounted small character display of the bike computer. Inside the curved frontage the anti-fog coating works really well even in heavy rain at low temperatures. After some considerable use my original pair show no signs of scratching and are still the first choice for regular commuting, though the yellow tint pair do brighten up the countryside on occasion. The third pair, of smoke-grey colour are just great on the rare bits of bright sun encountered this winter but will come into their own as the year moves on and we find summer again.

Having developed moderate long sightedness with age these glasses are perfect for gaining some eye protection for diy or exercise whilst still being able to focus on screens, tools, dials etc close in. Bi-focal area is quite small and low down. I normally wear vari-focals but find these an acceptable substitute whilst running and gardening. Yellow lenses make greens look blue - to me! I have a fairly small head (helmet 60cm) and they stay on fine without too much pressure.

i wanted these for riding my motorbike and having the bi focal lens to view my sat nav and dials whilst looking down. I purchased the +3 but the view was a complete blur even though i have a cheap set of +3 readers with no vision problems.The yellow tint is great and aids riding but unfortunately had to return as i wasnt happy with the bi focal part

These safety specs are comfortable to wear and the reading section of the lens is better placed than on some allowing a good field of view over the top whilst not requiring the wearer to be a contortionist to use them for reading. They are however VERY yellow, no subtle tint to these, they're full on lemon curd yellow!

An amazing idea. For several years, I've been putting off buying prescription prescription bifocals for cycling due to the cost and concern about ease of use.At such a reasonable price, I had no hesitation in buying these as an experiment. They work very well and aren't at all intrusive, so I intend to buy some more pairs in different shades.I no longer need to keep my reading glasses in my back pocket to read the map.

Absolutely delighted with these. Wasn’t expecting miracles at the price but light, solid enough, great wind protection and visibility on the bike and the bifocal lenses are perfectly placed for reading off the handlebars without interfering with wider field vision. Wish I’d bought these years ago and would definitely buy again.

Excellent product, I can now see my Gamin while I ride along, at a very cheap price as well. For a pair of cycling glasses which are hidden by an unsightly helmet why pay designer prices when these do everything you could want them to

They are light, comfortable and work quite well. I used them for cycling and can see a map or phone easily. The yellow helps a little with contrast on a dull day. As others have noted, the nose pieces tend to drop off; but more significantly, when folded the ends of the arms rub against the inside of the lens - thus scratching them. They only lasted a few weeks of being carried in a cycling bag.
