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

A 'gimmick' that actually works as advertised.
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?

They work!
I can wear these over my glasses, and they work for hours. I wish I’d had them years ago. I have used them for computer work, where it is a little tricky, but I also use them for watching TV. They work great for watching TV.

They work, but not flawlessly.
Every night I lay in bed and peruse a few things on my iPad - maybe browse the internet, maybe watch a few youTube videos - before going to bed. I don't like propping my head up at right angles, it's uncomfortable, so got these to see what I thought.On the plus side, they work. You can lay VERY comfortably on your back with your iPad sitting on your chest or stomach and watch videos or read web pages. It takes a while to get used to touching the screen since it's no longer where you expect it to be.All is not roses though. The field of vision is limited - somewhat like what I imagine tunnel vision would be like. It's big enough, though, that my iPad screen is completely visible, so this is not an issue for me.The image you see is a little funny though, sort of what you would expect if you were looking through prisms. There is a noticeable dividing line between the two eyes which you do get used to after a bit, but there are also issues with focus around the edges, though this could be due to my eyeglasses.Regular eyeglasses will fit under these, but they are heavy and if you don't get them situated just so, your nose will finally start to complain - at least mine has at times - as has the orbit around my eyes if I have them pushing down too hard on my glasses. In other words, you have to get them situated properly or you will end up with discomfort.The reason I gave these four stars instead of three is that I've been using these virtually every night since I purchased them in spite of the issues. Not having to prop my head up, being able to lay flat on my back and enjoy browsing on my iPad in the evening trumps the oddities and inconveniences these have.My wife thinks I look like the biggest geek that ever existed when I'm laying in bed with these on, so there's that too.

Heavy and didn’t fit over glasses
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.

Lazy Glasses Review
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

Perfect for watching TV in bed.
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.
