Flammi Lazy Glasses Prism Glasses Horizontal Spectacles Lie Down for Reading/Watching TV

Hilariously fun! I am an avid reader, and these are great for when you want to feel extra lazy and go flat out. As others have stated, they are a bit heavy and take some time to get used to. They fit great over my rectangular glasses and so far they've held up.

These glasses. My goodness. They look so comical, but they work so well! I gave them a shot because I like to fuss around with my phone while lying down, and the angle is bad for my neck if I lie in that position for too long. With these glasses I haven't had any neck issues at all.They're a little heavy, so they're not good to use sitting up straight or standing. But if you're lying flat on your back with a book or device on your stomach, the weight isn't really an issue. They're made of the "soft" kind of plastic too (like gaming mice or phone cases), so overall they're pretty comfortable. It just takes a bit to get used to the right angle, and you can't hold things too close or the space between the prisms becomes a black line in the middle of your vision. If you wear them too long in one sitting your eyes might get fatigued, but I've only had that problem once or twice, and my eyes were probably already tired beforehand.They fit nicely over prescription eyeglasses, which is good because I'm blind as a bat otherwise. Though I had my mother try it out and she found it easier to use them *without* her glasses, so your mileage may vary there.As of this review I've been using them nearly every night for a little over a month, and I love them. I may look ridiculous to an observer, but who cares?

Wow - these are trippy. I was introduced to these babies when I saw the movie, "The Bucket List," where Jack Nicholson's character is confined to a hospital bed, and while lying flat on his back, he wears glasses like these to watch a higher wall-mounted TV while lying flat on his back in bed.Guess what. Prism glasses are a real thing, not just a movie prop. They WORK.Cons:The weight of the glasses. They are heavier than regular eyeglasses; but in their defense, I don't think eye wear with prisms can be a whole lot lighter and still serve their purpose. After a few minutes of wear, the weight was noticeable on the arch of my nose and felt like they were pressing into my forehead between my eyes. I manipulated my pillow around both sides of my head, plumping it up by my ears, so that the end of bow that goes behind the ear would rest on the bunched up pillows. It worked for awhile as long as I kept my head still, but that eventually got old and wasn't real comfortable.There is a also a thicker "bar" between the eyes which can be seen when viewing something through them. It separates your view into a separate left and a separate right side, but I was really getting into the movie I was watching, so before long, I did not even notice it anymore. It's kind of like when there are subtitles on a movie in a foreign language running across the bottom of the screen; eventually you don't even notice they are there.There is no part of these glasses that can be positioned; the prisms/lens pieces are not moveable. If you need a better view, you will have to turn your head.Pros:These have potential to be a good go-to tool for those who, for whatever reason, have to lay flat on their back. I only used these for watching a higher mounted TV; I did not try to read books wearing them. I feel they are better suited for watching television than reading, but for that person that has to lie flat, these glasses would allow them to look at the person they are talking with who is sitting or standing across the room.These "lazy glasses" are an inexpensive unique white elephant-type thing, so they make a cool gift for not a lot of money for that person you are tired of trying to please. These peepers certainly get passed around the room and are quite the conversation piece.I removed one star for the weight discomfort; but I don't regret purchasing them. They do the job they are supposed to do.

The prism does work and create a clear image, but these are very heavy and fall off easily. They do not fit over most glasses either.

Ordered glasses to use after Cornea Transplants in both eyes. However, I was unable to use them as I have hoped. I had to wear a protective plastic shield over my eye and since I needed my reading glasses on too, I was unable to wear the lazy glasses over my reading glasses and the shield. Also, the glasses were too heavy and would not stay on my face. However, glasses do seem to be well-made and would probably beneficial to someone else. I started to return them; however, both surgeries required some lengthy, uncomfortable recovery periods. I am still under the surgeon's care, but transplants have worked. Linda Deaton

I blew out a disk in my lumbar and was in bed for most of about three weeks. I already had a large 4K TV set up at the end of the bed. These glasses allowed me to pass the time while lying completely flat. I even managed to get the laptop set up and use the 4K TV as a monitor to get some work done. Also great for using the phone or iPad in bed without straining your neck or arms. Without the glasses, I noticed I had to raise the iPad up high enough to use it. With the glasses, I was able to lay flat and rest the iPad on my belly, alleviating arm and neck strain. My only critique is that I wish the Field of View were wider. It didn't quite cover the edge-to-edge view of the high def TV. I looked for other glasses with wider prisms, but was unable to find any on Amazon. I'm thinking they might not exist, or if they do, they are much more expensive or heavy? In any case, if you need to lay flat for extended periods of time, these glasses were a godsend for my healing process.

These are ao fun, i can lay in bed and read now without my arms getting tired feom holding the book, it has helped so much and i am abke to read much more comfortably and not straining my neck. Yes they look funny, but they are great for their intended purpose!
