Review: Maybe not the most Stylish, but work GREAT! Buying a 3rd pair. - Ok I was always one to buy giant bug-eye or aviator sunglasses and TRY to fit them over my glasses. That was always a little nightmarish and fugly looking. I am photophobic or whatever they call us that are sun sensitive with light colored eyes and a few medical issues. And I just got new glasses with larger plastic frames that unlike my old metal rimmed ones, did not work well with dept store shades. Then I found these. These I FELL IN LOVE with after the second time wearing them. Why not the first time? Because they just felt WEIRD. But they fit well, I can go around outside or drive and not even think about it, and they even work for me in harsh, evil big box store lights. Yup..I'm that creepy person with the dark shades on in Walmart at 3 am! ;) The edge is large so you don't have that peripheral glare or sun spike to the eye either. Why am I on my third pair? BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE WITHOUT THEM. And if one does break I don't want to be back trying to fit too small of sunglasses over my seeing glasses. I want a pair in the car, in the house etc. What SOLD me on them....I wear several different glasses for distance up close etc. and I usually wear a ball cap and keep them stacked atop my head, rather than setting them down somewhere. (And because bifocals do not work well for me tho I have those also) I was in the shade and had these on top of my stash of glasses on my head. I bent over and they fell off. NOTHING. I was ready to cry and NOTHING. Undamaged. Then while gardening I pulled the same stunt AGAIN! This time while reaching for my real glasses I knocked them off and they went FLYING...on CEMENT...and an arm popped off. (this was with force the way they went flying this time-about 6 ft away and from 6 ft in the air). I picked them up, again ready to just cry, expecting scratches and them being broken beyond all hope...but the arm popped right back on and they were like brand new! NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH! So...for something that is 6 bucks, (MUCH CHEAPER than dept store shades) allows me to wear my large plastic frame glasses under them without being uncomfortable AT ALL....blocks the sun from my sun hating eyes, and is not some WEIRD color of brown or blue, but just a darkening grey, I am HAPPY! That get's 5 stars in my book. RARELY if EVER do I come back and buy and second and then a third of ANYTHING unless its great. These, at least for my needs, are GREAT. Price is great, fit is great, durability is great. These COULD BE DARKER...I WISH THEY WERE DARKER, that is my only...meh, sort of complaint. But I am happy with them the way they are. As you can see my new pair..that had just arrived, I held up to a lamp while still in the bag they came in. That way you can sort of get a feel for how they are not SUPER dark, but dark enough. And if I look a little funky wearing them, I DON'T CARE! They are BIG. But this is not about LOOKS, this is about utility. And for less than 6.00....you just cannot go wrong here.
Review: Great for migraines - Great for migraines. They're definitely not winning any fashion awards though! I use them at work when the fluorescent lights and my computer screens start to trigger a migraine. They fit easily over my regular glasses and don't obstruct my vision. They just make everything less bright and painful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these the funny looking sunglasses that old people wear?**
A: Yes they are just a touch less opaque. I'm in my late 30s and wear them for extra anti-aging SPF coverage. Keep in mind that it is a cheap work around from having to get prescription sunglasses. It protects your crows feet areas perfectly from the sun. You will look older with these on - they're functional not stylish.

**Q: What do you mean with ACETATE...? Are they made of it...? Please explain...**
A: Obviously, what the description means is cellulose acetate, an ester that is a kind of plastic. Cellulose acetate has been known since the mid-1800s, has been commonly manufactured from wood pulp and other raw organic materials since shortly after 1900, and was often used until the 1950s to make fabric and textiles before cheaper alternatives such as nylon that were sourced from petrochemicals. Today it is often used for eyeglass frames and, in this case, inexpensive optically flat lenses.

**Q: What is the uvb rating? are they very dark? my eyes are soo light sensitive, i need very dark lenses for driving. thanks!**
A: The claimed UV400 rating implies blocking of 100% of all wavelengths shorter than 400nm, including UVA (320-400nm), UVB (280-320nm), and UVC (100-280nm). UV light is mostly invisible but can have damaging health effects. The divisions among UVA, UVB, and UVC are somewhat arbitrary, and in general the shorter wavelengths can do more damage more quickly but it is the longer wavelengths that penetrate the atmosphere to a greater degree all the way to the ground, so blocking all UV is what you want rather than worrying about UVA versus UVB specifically.Darkness of the lenses in blocking visible light is essentially unrelated to the effectiveness blocking invisible (UV) light. As a practical matter, blocking of visible light is an important goal of sunglasses in improving your ability to drive in bright sunlight.

**Q: Do these also fit well alone? Without wearing eyeglasses underneath?**
A: Yes. I wear mine with or without glasses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for migraines
*by L***E on June 27, 2025*

Great for migraines. They're definitely not winning any fashion awards though! I use them at work when the fluorescent lights and my computer screens start to trigger a migraine. They fit easily over my regular glasses and don't obstruct my vision. They just make everything less bright and painful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive and effective
*by N***S on August 27, 2025*

These are pretty good cover-up glasses. I would have like them to be much darker but they definitely take the edge off while driving. They fit well over my prescription glasses, but the finish on the earpieces is irritating. The flash was not smoothed out as good as it could have been and the earpiece seems a bit short for me. Not terrible, but I would not want to wear them all day.
