My glasses still work, however one of my nose pads had fallen off, and I had super-glued it on so many time that the holes in the nose pad mount were full of dried glue. The last time, the pad fell off, and disappeared. So, I figured I was headed to the eye doctor for a new set of glasses. Feeling I had nothing to lose, I attacked my glasses with a low speed drill and small bit, and voila, was able to dig out all of the dried glue.
I ordered these nose pads, and installed one on the broken side. Went in very easily and works exceedingly well. To balance things out, I replaced the other, "good", pad.
I'm a fan! I'll be able to get a few more years of use from my old glasses (my script hasn't changed - just got it checked last year).
First, the pads themselves are nice and soft. This is a great improvement over the plastic pads that had come with my glasses. And, of course, they "stick" a lot better than the slick plastic pads do, so hopefully I won't find myself constantly pushing these glasses back up my nose as I had needed to.
Installation was not exactly easy, but that's not this product's fault. The screws here are, as you would expect, tiny. That said, while the screws in my glasses were "flat head" screws, the provided screws were "Philips head", which is *much* easier to deal with since the screwdriver isn't constantly slipping off the head. So, it took a lot more time and frustration trying to get the old screws out than getting the new ones in. Of course, not having my glasses on at the time didn't help!
Unlike some other reviewers, I don't have a problem with the pads "flopping around". My glass frames have a little enclosure that the "tab" goes in then screws down, so there's only a few degrees of movement with the pads. Of course, they are soft so you'll see them deform a little if you force them to slide down your nose, but putting glasses on and taking off "normally" doesn't cause any issues that I can see. That said, I've only had these for an hour, so if anything changes I'll update this review to note it.
Overall, a nice little package, and as pain-free as possible process to do the replacement.
I like that I recieved them right away. I have replaced nose pads previously. I am naturaly mechanicly inclined and ambiodecteous. This was fairly easy for me to install. tey feel so soft make a real differance. I noticed some people were bothered by the woble. I find this a plus as it alows the pads to adjut to the contours of my nose. I have 2 pair of glasses so I could see what I was doing. If you don't have a 2nd pair either get some one to hold a magnfiying glass or get a cheap pair of readers at the dollar store.

These things are heaven! I also bought another brand that are "gel cushioned" and they don't even compare to these. Not only did the little screwdriver "kit" come in handy, but boy are these things soft and comfy. Very happy with this purchase!
I purchased reading glasses from America's Best for a great price - except the nose pads were made from such a cheap, smelly plastic, that I couldn't stand to have them near my nose. Who knows what the chemical leeching might have done to my nose long term.
This pad replacement kit was just the remedy for the smelly pads and a remedy for heavy glass lens wearing people like me.
Great Product!

These are very soft and very comfortable. But, the little tab connection to the glasses is such a soft silicone that they flop and turn when trying to adjust them on your face or do the "nose bridge push". The pads fold over because it's all made of soft silicone. Would be better if the connection pieces were a harder plastic.
Love!!! I got these for 2 reasons. First, I have an oily face and the pads that came with Ray Ban sunglasses were awful and glasses kept slipping off my nose constantly. They never stayed up. Second, I'm a runner and sunglasses never stayed on while I ran. I tested them out today, and I never once had to push my sunglasses up while I ran.
This repair kit with nose pads is great! I barely feel my glasses on my nose now!
Installed a couple months ago for my wife, so far no complaints and still in place after daily use. Comes with the screwdriver and new screws, which is helpful. Have to be patient to get those tiny screws in, though there's no getting around that anyhow.
These airbag nose pads were fantastic. Very comfortable and well made. There's no slippage either and I don't think it'll leave marks on the nose after prolong use. It's only been less than a day since I got it and I already recommended it!
