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 Optical, 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.
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, debbyburkoptical.com. You have changed my work life!

Two strengths. One pair.
These customers weren’t looking for more glasses. They were looking for one pair that could keep up with the way they actually work, read and move through the day.
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 Debby Burk Optical!!
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
The lenses in these glasses are really good. They are exactly what I needed for working on the computer all day. I may get another pair with stronger bifocal strength for other tasks. They also fit as expected.
When ordinary readers aren’t strong enough
High Power customers often arrive after searching far beyond the drugstore rack. Their stories are about finding stronger magnification without giving up comfort, style or everyday usability.
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!!
Back to the things that matter
Sometimes the best outcome is not a lens specification. It is getting back to the small, ordinary things that make up a day.
“I don’t remember the last time my view of my laptop screen was so clear.”
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!!!
Always Within Reach
As I adjust to life centering around reading glasses, I find I need a pair within reach, no matter where I am. Debby Burk Optical 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.
From Work to the Rest of the Day
I am back for a second order. Love them. I need reading glasses frequently. I have these on a band and hook the arm over my shirt's neckline. They are on my person all waking hours. The 1/2" lens height is an absolute gem. I can work, look over them at the tv or my customers and I can look below them to go down the stairs. Just wish they had them in 1.25. I'm trying the tiny tots this time because they are available in 1.25 but I really like the nose pieces on these. Don't like glasses that rest on my nose. Glasses are durable and the spring keeps them tight on the face.
Easy to Carry. Easy to Use.
These reading glasses are perfect. Plenty of reading surface even though they are so slim, which is why they work so well. They are easy to wear and to carry with you. I'm never without them.
The best proof is coming back
A great first purchase matters. A third, sixth or seventh purchase tells a different story.
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 Debby Burk Optical, 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.
If you’re looking for quality readers that last, this is the place.
I have purchased all of my readers from Debby Burk Optical for about 25 years. The products are well made and unique. Only once did I get a pair that had a problem. Debby Burk Optical 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.
