I received the order, after my own "RISK" (I write it in capitals for emphasis) ...and after my own decision. In the end, I was justified. I did not regret it at all. This is a glass, whose lens is purely, let's say, "Magnifying."
------
"Not to be worn for activities inside or outside your home"
------
That is:
YOU CAN:
Use the glass, regardless of whether you have Myopia or Presbyopia:
* To read the fine print on, for example, a DEI bill
* To write with a pencil or pen, a name/phone number, in a little phonebook you have in your desk drawer.
* To read in a newspaper or magazine, the fine print you can't see.
* To see on a button battery on its back, e.g. on your watch, what type of battery it is, e.g. LR2032 3.6V
* To play, for example, the old Game Boy console, the one with the small screen (for its time).
* To read at a bank, the fine print on a document they hand you, before you sign it...
* To do some electronic soldering on a circuit board with the well-known "solder wire" using a soldering iron
And many more...
------
YOU CANNOT:
* You cannot wear the glass to watch TV at home in your living room while sitting on the couch or elsewhere, and your TV, whether PLASMA or LCD, is across from you...
* You cannot wear the glass to go for a walk.
* You cannot wear the glass at night, when you get up from bed (from sleep), to go to the kitchen to drink some water or go to the bathroom.
* You cannot wear the glass to read a newspaper or magazine when you hold them in your hands, e.g. stretched out, e.g. in a café or on the veranda.
And many more...

P.S.1:
It is a magnifying glass, made purely for the reasons I mention above, for what you can do with it.
This glass is worth its money, for the things I mention above that you can do, and even more as we say. :-D
Now, if you choose to wear them a little longer on your eyes, after one of the tasks I mention above, then your eyes might get a bit "dizzy," as we say.
.
P.S.2:
The only negative I could mention about this glass is the way the time comes (sometimes) to change its 2 button batteries.
To change the 2 button batteries in each arm of the glass, and not damage the nose support or the glass lens...
You can do what I did, because it will be easier for you.
1) Unscrew the tiny screw on the arm, which if you can't see well, someone should hold a magnifying glass for you...
2) Slide the cover backwards... It has a bit of difficulty, be very careful not to damage the LED, that is, its mechanism, the two little metal pins that touch the batteries...
3) Remove the 2 button batteries, and put in two new button batteries.
4) If the LED mechanism comes out, e.g. falls out, onto your bed or table... And the batteries fall out...
First put the LED back in its little hole, which is at the front of the arm, and then place the back of the mechanism.
This way, you will see the two little metal pins...
Place the 1st battery in your hand, the 2nd underneath (UNDER the 2nd metal pin)
Place the 2nd battery in your hand, the 1st on top (ABOVE the LOWER 2nd metal pin)
And at the very top is the 1st Metal Needle Pin.
.
That is, when you remove or before you fasten the cap (the screw) on the Arm, your eye should see the arrangement as follows:
- Battery Cap
- Metal Pin (the 1st from the top)
- 1st Battery
- Metal Pin (the 2nd, below, above the 2nd battery below it)
- 2nd Battery.
Something like a Sandwich as we say.
--------Always with the Positive Pole--------
That is, the Metal Pins should touch the Positive Pole of both batteries... (that is, on the backs of the batteries as we say).
.
* The first time you change batteries or open the cap, to see how you will change the batteries in the future... You will see that it is very easy.
Just be careful with the cap and the LED mechanism, so as not to bend the metal pins-needles that touch the batteries.
.
* And I always recommend removing each Arm before changing the batteries, to avoid any damage to the Arm or the nose support or the glass.
