Adjustable lens glasses

I saw these glasses advertised on adverts on one of the apps I use. The idea is that there is a lens adjustment knob that controls each lens increasing or decreasing the diopter focus for each eye. They sound ideal for close work when I find that I cannot see properly the detail when my reading glasses are insufficient. They are only around £8, China specials. However, looking at the reviews on Amazon they have very poor reviews likening them to Christmas cracker gift quality. Has anyone tried these, are they worth a punt?

I believe I have seen an ad for them, any review that is bad often means a real person tried something (As opposed to the fake reviews that say it is good) but for £8 and from Amazon what have you to lose, you can always send them back within 30 days with Amazon

Yes, Fair point, I guess I really would like them to work as it sounds like they would be really useful for me. I think I will follow your advice and give them a go. I will report back in due course. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

They arrived yesterday and sadly they are shite and I am returning them to Amazon today. What a shame, the concept sounded great but they just did not work better than reading glasses, there was no noticeable magnification.

Picture? and as you had/have them what do they do, or not do?
