Perfect for my needs.  I have my laptop sitting on a mobile cart next to my recliner (a range of about 24" between my 17" monitor & my eyes), and these 1.00's do just enuf to make everything clear, and yet I can still watch my 32" HD TV fairly clearly at the same time at 10' away w/o taking them off.  NOTE: I use 1.25's just for reading books, mags, my Kindle, at closer distances, particularly when in poor lighting.

Seem pretty sturdy and not prone to bending such as the cheaper, metal rim reading glasses you get at drug stores.
