Eschenbach 2x Magnifier Glasses Dark Grey

Got these for my Dad who suffers from Macular Degeneration. I didn't have sufficient reviews or info to be sure that these would work. However I had to try. He received them a few days ago and called me immediately very pleased. He said the adjusters were a little difficult for tender hands but that with a little patience he got them adjusted to suit him. We concluded that some difficult adjusting for him was well worth the fact that once adjusted these stayed adjusted. It is hard to relate just what an improvement in life these "Eschenbach MaxTV Glasses" have made in this mans life. He is elated as to how he can now enjoy TV so much more now. He can also see the TV in his bedroom and see things around the house much better if he wishes. NOTE: These have a limited field of view, that is side to side and up and down. Dad wanted me to make sure and advise against trying to stand or walk around with binocular glasses on. Although, knowing him, he may have tested that to some extent. Thank You Eschenbach for such a wonderful thing.

Works as advertised. Eye adjustments are OK. A 50" class TV fills you entire view without moving head side to to side. Cheaply made with poor quality plastic, the larger outside R lens detached after light use, almost lost it in the bed sheets. We'll see if that keeps happening. If so, I will return it and forget about this option. Does allow you to read all closed captions, and You Tube comments so I'll keep it for now.

I worked and worked and worked to try and get it to focus on my TV but was never successful. At standard viewing distance you can only see part of the screen and even that is not comfortable viewing. What a waste of money! You would think a German product would have better engineering than this. I hardly return anything but I'm going to try and get my money back on this one. Rick Edit 9/1/13: The product did not work for me but I am PLEASED with the seller. The refund process was simple and I received my refund promptly. Rick

The adjustable part of these glasses is great, but they are not very comfortable to wear for very long at all. The hard molded plastic at the bridge of the nose quickly becomes painful and annoying to the point that you just have to take them off!! And the ear pieces dig into the sides of your head. With just a little bit more thought, these could have been spectacular - with rubber pads on the nose pieces and some kind of padding at the ear pieces as well. However, I really do love being able to see when I could not before!!!

Got these for my husband who has GA/AMD . He was practically on top of the 55” tv in order to see it. He said people’s mouths look like they were sewn up, or missing. With these glasses, he is sitting on the couch which is across the room from the tv and seeing well! He says he needs to look straight ahead , but it’s not uncomfortable. I tried them and thought they were pretty great! I however, don’t have any blind spots as he does. Things looked very clear, and larger. We think they were well worth the price. They came from Japan and although they were delayed at customs, it didn’t take that long to get them. Maybe two weeks. There is a “restocking fee “ if you return them. Be sure to check it out!

Glasses were of no help in letting my mother see the TV. There is very little adjusting on each lens-not at all like a pair of binoculars. They were very cheaply made. If they would have helped her to see TV, I could have overlooked the low quality. They were not worth the large amount of money they cost. I have returned the glasses and I am waiting for my money to be returned.

I bought these locally for a bit more money for my Dad. I was happily surprised to see the identical branded glasses on Amazon for quite a bit less money. Compare prices. You will see.

My Dad suffers from Macular degeneration and glaucoma and has only partial sight left in one eye. He has been unable to read or watch tv so I ordered these as a Christmas gift for him, hoping they would help. He was thrilled with how they worked and he found them easy to adjust.. They are good quality, very well made and came with a case for storage. I was pleased with the quick delivery as I ordered them a short time before Christmas and although delivery was promised by Jan. 3rd, the arrived well before Christmas Day.
