Love these glasses!! No ropes or chains. Glasses hang around my neck and never fall off - the same is true when I put them on top of my head or on my eyes. The fit is perfect, the frames/hinges are high quality and the lenses are very clear. I ONLY buy neckhangers. When I place an order, I usually buy as many of the different frame styles as I can in the neckhanger product line so I can switch up styles with my outfits. I would love to see more styles in this line, especially some cat-eye frames that have a good medium size lens with neckhanger arms.
