As others have said, these do NOT look like clip-ons. That's a huge feature. My wife didn't want me to get them but likes them once she saw them. They are DARK. Too dark for high-contrast situations like driving into the sun (good) and wanting to look down at the dashboard controls (bad). I wouldn't recommend them for skiing because there's obviously no side protection, but that's not what I bought them for.
UPDATE: I bought the Tea color and they are MUCH LESS DARK. Bright sun is too bright, but they're fabulous for bright cloudy days. The point of this update is to say that different colors vary greatly in how much light they block. The gray ones are in the middle.
They work very well as sunglasses which is the big thing. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 as I don't like the way the fasten to my eyeglasses.
In the past clip-ons I've owned have a spring clasp in the center that when you squeezed it, it expanded the clips. That made it super easy to just place them, release your pressure on the clasp, and the grips would close on the lenses.
These you just push onto the lens, it requires two hands to do it - One to support the frames, one to put pressure on the shades to slide on. Nowhere near as easy as with the spring clamp\clasp arrangement.
The other thing I'm not fond of is the case. First case I've owned that hinged on the short end. Feels awkward and unbalanced.
As I said, they work great as sunglasses and that's the important thing!
First, these are fit onto regular Rx glasses in a way in which a person you meet can not initially tell you are wearing prescription glasses ( I fooled my own brother when I first put them on over my Rx glasses). Secondly, they have a 2 position "flip". The first is at about 45 degrees, but the second position which sounds an audible 'click' is another 10ยบ higher. Because I need to drive an hour before sunrise, these are extremely useful.
Although I only received them a few days ago, they are the first glasses which can handle the brightness of the sun in Sacramento, CA. I recently relocated from northern Virginia and was not prepared for how bright the sun is here. This is actually my 3rd pair of shades and after trying them this afternoon I think they just might be the best. For those of my friends who follow my reviews, you know if I find anything contrary to my initial statements, I will definitely revise this review! So Far----these Sunglasses are unique.
I have looked at quite a few options for clip on and spring fitted sunglasses. These are the BEST I have found on Amazon!! I love the small and almost hidden clip at the bridge of the nose. All others are completely obvious and quite horrendous to look at...in fact most look like something from Revenge of the Nerds. These sunglasses seat and match perfectly. No scratching or falling on to the nose!!!
Fit beautifully on my husband's glasses and mine. We decided to try one of these first to judge the fit on our prescription glasses. They fit his square and rounder frames beautifully, without so much hang over that they touch the cheeks. They even fit my larger cat-eye style glasses well. We are ordering more in different colors.

I work in law enforcement and as much as I love prescription Oakley’s. They break, or fall off and get crushed in a scuffle too often for me to drop $300 each time that happens. These clip ons cost pennies in exchange. These are awesome. They’re subtle. Easy to use. And dangerously close to stylish. Enjoy them.
These came in a well packaged box. They do come in a clear plastic case which is good.
These actually fit my glasses perfectly and the color is blue which is what I ordered.
Came out of the case in perfect condition, no scratches, planning to take these when I go out. Great!
Also have gotten many compliments on these. "They look snazzy" -Rachel
Good color and polarization, and they seem very resilient. Two small issues: the clip fingers WILL scratch your lenses even though they are plastic coated. It would be difficult to prevent scratches with any kind of clip that touches or moves across your lens surface. The other, very small idiosyncrasy is with the plastic case (which I appreciate them providing). Rather than opening bottom to top, it opens left to right like a book. For some reason I always open it upside down (maybe because I'm right-handed?). Certainly nit picking, but I thought you should know. Otherwise very happy with their sun-blocking ability.
Likes: legit. They really work. The amount of glare reduced is incredible. Fully on par with polarized eyeglasses. I have prescription eyewear that gives me 20-20 and has “transitions” treatment so they tint outside. My glasses are great for basic outside things but are useless when fishing. For $11 these turn your regular glasses into $300 prescription polarized glasses. They attach easily, stay on securely and actually look pretty decent.
Dislikes: a little flimsy but I’m not sure what you can expect for inexpensive lightweight clip ons.
I will update this review if my opinion changes or anything breaks.
Just as expected. They cover the front of my wire rimmed glasses well. Occasionally they do become uneven but mostly because of readjusting my glasses. These are good for blaring sun asking as it doesn’t creep through the side like when I have my sunroof open with sun angle beating down. Can’t see my dashboard gauges with them on. The clips do not scratch my lenses. Clip part is covered with soft plastic and fits around the nose piece.
