DIAL VISION

[Sgt Nambu]

Hey folks, just saw a tv ad for "Dial Vision" adjustable eye glasses. They adjust just like binoculars, each side has two lenses. Adjust left eye first, covering the right eye! Then reverse the process! I'm going to check them out. Five year warranty, $19.95.

Interesting concept. I've got astigmatism and getting glasses that work in all situations is extremely difficult. Sometimes having the ability to adjust would be nice. Be sure to report back on how well they work.

Well, Etrain, I'm not planning on buying any just now. Going to see what I can find out about them. I was intrigued about getting back up glasses for $19.95. If they're worth it!

Don't forget to add $10 for shipping, $20 if you get the "free" pair.

My eye's have changed back to what they were 25 years ago, now all my old glasses work again!!


I love the idea of Dial Vision, you can even get your very own eye chart--

So I wonder if you could adjust your dominant to see your front sight and the other to see the target? May be what I need! Of course they are probably not impact resistant.

Somebody buy these and report back!

Oh they're 'impact resistant' and made from the finest plastic

Interesting!

I'd heard about some type of inexpensive adjustables for third world countries, but wasn't aware we could buy them here as well. 438 reviews on Amazon, spread about evenly ratings wise.

Might be handy for folks to have in the car/truck, or at home as spares.

Me, I have a spare prescription set, as well as a bunch of spare cheapies.

Well, I finally got around to looking into these glasses. I guess that the good part is they do work! But, a lot of cons.
1. They are fragile.
2. The lenses have virtually no scratch resistance.
3. A foreign object between the lenses can lock them up.
4. They are tiny, if you have a large head they may not work for you.

These issues, and the fact that I'm a colossal big head, have convinced me to give them a pass. YMMV!

Ad said they don't work with astigmatism.
I'm guessing cataracts, glaucoma or missing eyes either..
Nonetheless, I thought they might be useful in the shop, I don't see scribe lines so well any more.

I was waiting for the consensus on them. The reviews I read did not give them much praise

thorborg, I think you might be better of with 2X or 3X reading glasses. I use them for close work, since my bifocals don't quite allow me to get close enough to the work!

I tried the big lighted lens but since there is no depth of field allowance it is a constant readjust for 3D objects. Your way just requires leaning in or away.

I really really doubt it - eye dominance doesn't work like that from my understanding.
