Bought this item as an accessory for my mad scientist Halloween costume and it looked pretty darn cool. The item itself actually works really well and makes a very good visual aide.

This is great for real use, and for costume. It works for when I need to view fine print!
And it looks good besides!

These clipped onto my glasses very easily. I got lots of complements (or at least surprised, interested looks and comments). However, I found these clip-on lenses were a little heavy for my particular glasses. My glasses didn't want to sit straight. Also, because my glass frames are thin metal, the clip-on would rotate slowly during wearing. I believe that a heavier frame, with thicker, flatter surfaces, would hold it more securely.

I really like this item! great for my steampunk attire. However, they don't fit very well on my glasses because of their design (the glasses, not the magnifiers)

One man's loss is another woman's gain
I bought this product in the hope that I could use it to clip on my sunglasses and flip one lens down to use for reading at my outdoor job without taking my shades off. Alas, the focus distance became about two inches, so as I feared, it didn't work for that. However, my wife is painting and detailing a series of birdhouses, and it is just perfect for the close and tiny, so while it didn't meet the original need, it fills another that we weren't even aware of. It stays put on the glasses, and the lenses stay where you put them. The spring in the glasses clip could be a little stronger, as if you bump it with a brush handle or the back of your hand, it pops right off, but that's a small complaint. A good, functional product, and I'm glad I bought it.

I ordered this loupy to complete my Halloween costume. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it actually works. I have been using it to do some detail sewing. Excellent!

Very cool, but not perfect
The magnifying loupy is very cool both aesthetically and functionally, but the clip-on mechanism is a bit of a pain. It works all right, but is less than versatile; when used on my own glasses, it barely holds onto the thick frame, and when used on the Common Spectacles from this site, it flatout can't get a grip because the frame is too thin. The clip will require further modification to be wearable in any practical sense. However, the functionality of the lenses themselves, as well as their mechanism, is just dandy.

I was amazed at the fast shipping. To ship to New York it took only 3 days! I love the magnifier. Its so fun to wear. The only problem is that the lenses sometimes slip down and the nut has to be re tightened. Other than that, I see no faults with these. Now I need to buy some nice goggles. :)

Great idea though implementation is tough. Parts are small and may fall off, also in general heavier than expected and clip does not seem to reliably hold on. Still as one of their side products the loops are great flair an for the price worth a little bit of extra work to use.

Nice piece. Sometimes lenses loosen and fall, but, that's to be expected at this price.
Since I actually wear "spectacles", I couldn't enhance my costume with a monocle or what have you, so I went with these instead. They give my image that extra little something and they actually work as well! (Like when I need to read the fine print on the pocket sundial I also got here.) The adjustable tension keeps them up out of the way until you're ready to use them. And you can't beat the price!

Loved this item. I really want to keep it on my glasses full-time. It's certainly a conversation starter.
I bought this for my husband's Steampunk ensemble. He isn't one to get very excited about things, but immediately put these on his glasses and wore them around. He loves them! They do add some weight to your glasses, but you get used to it. Well made, and even useful! We're very pleased!

Great Loupe, Highly recommended
This was a wonderful purchase. I enjoy the loupes very much and they are great, easy to set to your specifications. Just make sure you have glasses that it can fit on properly. lol.
