Yes, I liked them very much (I'm wearing them as I type now) and They are identical except for going on 12 years wear and I can't do without my glasses at all unless I sleep in a chair and the main reason was my age and myopia and whatever had combined so that I either needed bi-focals (Ugh!) or two pairs of glasses. The idea, then,was that the old glasses would become reading glasses(they did) BTW, I don't think that mine are "designer" glasses (same for 11 years+?) or of exotic foreign manufacture. On the bows it says "UNIVERSAL 1/20 - 12K GF 6"On the top nose crosspiece (there are two crosspieces which give a rigidity and ruggedness - which is why they lasted and why I like them) it says " UOC1/2012KGF 54022" -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!"
