 Prism glasses have helped a great deal... October 1, 2008
The prism glasses are wonderful. Having a terrible neck, they have eased a lot of strain....I even had my husband use them to help slow down his disc degeneration. I have given them to 5 others who have loved them...including my doctor!. I also experienced the problem that the glasses felt too close to my eyes. I fixed that problem with a strip of velcro wrapped around the bridge of the glasses. Adjust the length for your face and if you need to wear prescriptive glasses, it is easier to wear the prism ones over them with the velcro. I also took a pair of inexpensive reading glasses, removed the lenses and attached them to the prism glasses with rubber bands....I know, I look odd wearing them, but boy does my neck feel better reading and watching TV! The bit of effort it may take (and you may not need any adjustment!)to make these fit is well worth it! Good luck!
 Cool Product. Lots of room to improve. August 1, 2008

I like the idea of bed spectacles. However, there are a lot of rooms to improve. It will be a much better product if it is a bit lighter, the mirror angle can be adjusted, and it is not too close to my eyes so I won't feel the discomfort that it touches my eyelashes all the time (height can be adjusted somehow). Again, I like the product and I won't return it, but I will give it 3 stars only.
Arrived bent, heavy, yet does what it says (after fixing). April 9, 2008

The glasses came and the prisms were not perfectly parallel, resulting in a double image. I took them to a local optomitrist and they bent them straight for me (for free - thanks EA optical!). They said that I could have used a hair dryer to warm them up and bend them straight and recommended to not to try and bend them when cool (too brittle).
The glasses are a bit heavy, but ok because I use them when laying down anyways, so they don't slide down the bridge of my nose. Watching TV or reading a book is fine. It takes some time to get adjusted to turning pages or writing with them on.
All in all, they do what they are intended for. I like watching TV with them and I don't have to prop my head up and crank my neck. It's funny to be able to see your lips, too! I don't require corrective glasses, so I don't know if they really work over regular glasses. However, being a physics teacher, it is a good demonstration for reflection and refraction.
 I had the same issue March 30, 2008

I had the same issue as the one reviewer. When the glasses arrived they were a little bent, but I just heated them with a lighter and allowed them to cool, and now they're great. They have stayed that way for a while now, so I believe the one reviewer needs to use heat and he shouldn't have to keep adjusting his/hers. I wear glasses as well and have quite a large head and they work great. You just have to let your prescription glasses ride low and put the prism glasses higher on your face. My only issue, and the reason I don't give a five star, is that the bows are a little rigid, and I have a wide face so they are tight, and after a while of wearing them, the pressure causes some discomfort.
Needed adjustment March 21, 2008

The glasses were very high quality prisms. The only problem was they were not adjusted properly. They made the view look as if you were cross eyed. I had to use the hair dryer to heat the bridge up and spread them apart just so slightly. I dipped them into cold water to hold the new adjustment and then they were perfect.
