★★★★☆
Excellent for discomfort issues.
I was having issues with left arm of my new glasses pressing painfully behind my left ear, so after doing some researching I decided to give these a try since they didn't require measuring, unlike similar products. I selected the clear variety, since I have two primary pairs of glasses I use, each with a different frame style - one is plastic, the other wire.
I found that the silicone is decently pliable, so they're stretchy and forgiving, which is good as I had to do a fair amount of tugging and pulling with my fingers to get the arm through both holes, particularly with my plastic frames. Once on, they're much easier to work with, though you'll still need to adjust them by pushing and pulling to get them where you want them. Thus, I recommend letting these soften up in hot water for around 5-7 minutes before attempting to put these on your glasses, especially so for thicker plastic frames.
These are plenty comfortable enough to be worn for hours per day, and I've had no issues with them moving out of place. I also like that you get 5 pairs to a pack, so in case of loss or possible breakage you have plenty of backups. However, if you're looking for something to stop your plastic frames from sliding down your nose, these don't work quite as well for that purpose, as I still have that issue even with these, though it is not a bad as it was before.
As with anything silicone-based these are a magnet for dirt and dust if left sitting, but a lightly damp cloth is all they need for cleaning. They are also not sticky, even after being out in the rain and humidity, so that is a huge plus if you're like me and have long hair that you worry about getting stuck in the silicone.
For $7, a great buy.
