Real customer stories
For nearly 30 years, people have come to Debby Burk Optical looking for reading glasses they couldn’t find anywhere else. These are some of the stories they shared with us.
A better fit
For customers with wider faces and larger heads, fit is not a small detail. It is the difference between wearing the glasses and fighting them.
Finally - a pair that fits my extra wide face. Other glasses claim to fit large heads, and fail miserably. These glasses actually deliver on the goods - I've even been complimented whilst wearing them for being "on trend". That, coupled with super customer service from Debby Burk, what more reasons do you need to buy a pair!! Go for it :)
They're as big as they claim, and no more grooves dug in above my ears!
These glasses ROCK!!! finally Reading glasses that fit my big head, in the past I've had to melt down the bridge of glasses to open the frame just to fit my head!! these are awesome, can't wait to see some frames in our size other then plastic "metal, wire".
I rec'd my glasses yesterday....and I LOVE them so so so much.
Its hard to find glasses to fit my big head Thanks again - my huge head and I look forward to ordering again from you soon.
So glad I found your site, as I have been trying to find nice readers that will fit my larger face/head. These look great and fit nicely and wow what a different having readers makes for that fine print. Thank you!
The glasses actually fit!! I am so happy. I have never had glasses that fit my face.
They fit perfectly. No side pressure or pinching. I’m ordering 2 more pairs for my bedroom and auto.
The search ends here
The strongest stories often begin the same way: the ordinary options did not solve the problem.
I am constantly struggling with the need for 2 different OTC readers. One for close up and one for my computer. My optometrist could only supply these with plain glass at the top and the 2 reading powers sharing the bottom half of the frame. Gave me headaches as the area I had to focus on was very thin. After much searching I found these. The Card Shark Dual Strength Bifocal is perfect. Top half is for reading my computer, the bottom half is for papers or phone or similar. So glad I found them. No more carrying around multiple reading glasses.
the lens is of good quality, the frames are solid and the wider frame fits me head perfectly not leaaving me with imprints along my temple. These are a must have is you want simples dual power readers.
After cataract surgery I can see great at a distance...but need glasses for close focal lengths. But I need a different strength for reading and for computer. I was juggling two different pairs and they ended up scattered around the house. These are a blessing. One pair for both needs! I had tried progressives and they didn't work. Now I can look at the screen and then some text with same glasses! Also great for cooking and following a recipe. Highly recommend. I will say it took me about a week to get used to them...after that all great. Nice customer service too!
I needed a high powered reader due to some hopefully temporary eye issues. Was simply overjoyed at the selection offered here. Decided on the Dakota as a low cost "sampler" and generous return policy in case it didn't serve my need. The glasses came very quickly and they are doing the job perfectly. The glasses are well made and attractive. So glad I found Debspecs and this pair of glasses.
We would like to thank you for the glasses we just received for our son. They were ordered by my husband. They are perfect. We have been searching for glasses for over a year now. Local optometry shops have sold us and keep trying to sell us the wrong shaped frames. They tell us big companies like Essilor can not produce the + 1400 lenses we need. We are so happy we found your shop. I have ordered a second pair to have just in case something happens to the first pair. Thank you for providing such an excellent service for low vision people. Thank you!!
I've hunted this type of readers for months and finally found these. 1.50 on top to see computer screen and 2.50 on bottom to see fine print up close, I love them.
If I had a dollar for every time I was on the computer and had to switch from my 1.50 computer glasses to my 2.50 reading glasses, I would be rich as Croesus!
I have long wondered why someone didn’t make dual strength bifocals, and was therefore delighted to find these. And boy, are they awesome. Thank you, debspecs.com. You have changed my work life!

No more workarounds
Computer. Paperwork. Close reading. The best proof is hearing customers describe the exact interruption that disappeared.
I’m an electrical engineer and spend much of my time switching my gaze between a large monitor and reading material on my desk, and since I am far-sighted, this means switching between two different strength reading glasses. For quite some time now I’ve looked for readers with different magnifications to no avail. I’ve tried “progressives” which have a very small field of view (an extreme case of foveated view), and can not tolerate this. I don’t remember how I stumbled on these card sharks, but I’m very glad I did; these are worth their weight in gold to me; no more swapping glasses repeatedly. Quality is fantastic as well. Good job Debbie Burke!!
I spend a lot of time on computer while doing paperwork, Dual strength bifocals allowed me to stop having to switch glasses each time i went from cpu screen to paper documents. Great product that met my needs.
I think if more people knew about these they would love them. They help my computer and also my paperwork become clear. I use a lower strength on the top and higher on lower and it works wonderfully
Tried a pair of Kash dual power glasses. They fit my larger-than-average head, and the dual power lenses are a game-changer! I've ordered a second pair. I highly recommend Debspecs. And customer support is as good as any I've experienced.
Back to the things that matter
Sometimes the outcome is not about eyewear at all. It is about reading, working, sewing, traveling and moving through the day with less friction.
my order just arrived and I wasted no time pressing them into use. They fit perfectly and I don’t remember the last time my view of my laptop screen was so clear. Thank you!!!
As I adjust to life centering around reading glasses, I find I need a pair within reach, no matter where I am. DebSpecs provides fantastic customer service and top notch quality. Their glasses, including these perfect purse specs, are now on every desk, side table and sewing table in my house.
I have been wearing these readers for about five years. They are the only style I can wear. They are very lightweight. I have sinus problems and any other style of readers give me a sinus headache.
I love the crystals on them. They did a very stylish look. I work at an upscale boutique and have referred quite a few customers to these readers.
I do not care if I receive silver or gold stem glasses. Both colors look awesome.
If they have them in stock, do not wait - order now. If they are out of stock, you will not be happy.
The best proof is coming back
A great first purchase matters. A third, sixth or seventh purchase tells a different story.
Headline: Finally, glasses that actually fit a wide head!
As someone who is 6’4” with a wider head, finding frames that don't pinch is a struggle. This is my 7th pair from Deb Specs, and once again, the fit is perfect and exactly as advertised. I’ve had the "Ike" frames before, and these new ones are just as well-made.
A few standouts:
• The Lenses: The dual lens quality is so high I genuinely forget I’m wearing them. The blue screen protection is impressive, and the scratch resistance actually holds up over time.
• The Build: They feel sturdy and come with a solid case that actually keeps them protected.
• Customer Service: I had a minor issue with a frame once, and they replaced it immediately. I haven't had a single problem since.
If you’re looking for quality readers that last, this is the place.
I have purchased all of my readers from Debby Burke for about 25 years. The products are well made and unique. Only once did I get a pair that had a problem. Debby Burke gladly replaced the pair with fabulous customer service. I HIGHLY recommend!
This is my 3rd time buying these. I absolutely LOVE them and I get so many compliments when I have them on! Who doesn’t llove a little sparkle.
I have ordered these sunglasses in both black and tortiose. The prices are definetly great and the delivery service is fast. The quality of the reading lense is excellent. I will NEVER purchase reading glasses from a drug store ever again. You have a life long customer.
This is my 6th pair of Tiny Tim reading glasses and I love them. I'm a teacher by profession and all my students know me by the way I look over my glasses at them when they are too loud. As I read the reviews I realized that I was not alone in having the plastic ear piece come off of the metal bow. I've got two pair of glasses that happened too. I just thought I was rough on glasses. I love the slim style because I can work on the computer and it is in focus and I can look up at my students and they are in focus. I wear them all the time and they are a conversation piece when I am in public. The spring hinges keep them on my face perfectly.
