Hey Eric. I was using a pair of Clics, but they didn't eliminate the long movement of taking the glasses on/off. And being that I moved around so much, having them swing back and forth was a bit frustrating as well.

Have you tried flipping the lenses out with the temples still over your ears - its super dorky but nobody will recognize you if you also wear a mosquito head net

These look terrific. I have rather thick (even with ultra-thin plastic) lenses. I would prefer a full frame on the basic lenses - rather than partial frame. Is that possible. Also, I have a terrible astigmatism, and find that rounder lenses work best for me. Is this possible? Ansel wore flip down magnifying glasses for years when hew was photographing - very easy and efficient.
Looks like the Hoodman glasses.

Appreciate the feedback John. I am in the process of developing various frame styles which include rounder frames. Hopefully if all goes well, I can have a final production frame by the year's end. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.
Are these what you are looking for??

Michael,
I was thinking about ordering a pair of these frames and then letting my optometrist fit them with my prescription lenses.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the previous mention of the Hoodman frames before I posted.

How much would you pay for a pair of high-quality flip up reading glasses?
Since the lowest production cost per unit will come from largest number that could be committed to a manufacturer, the critical question is "What cost per unit would the market bear for this product to meet the various minimums and would it return on the investment?" In this day and age of internet marketing I continue to be amazed at the possibilities, but it still is a challenging proposition because of the business entry costs. It then becomes a niche or broader marketing question where the price point and the marketing strategy become the critical drivers. Unfortunately, the market has been saturated with similar products for as long as I can remember.
A good optician should be able to order what you desire for you.
