Wide Reading Glasses Blue Light Computer Reader Designer Sport Cheater Large Head Frame Photochromic Tinted Eyeglass

I compared the photochromatic characteristics of these glasses to my much more expensive prescription glasses made with brand name "Transitions" photochromatic lenses. As seen in the photos, both glasses became noticeably dark within 30 seconds of being outside and achieved their respective maximum darkness within about 90 seconds in direct bright sun. The lenses on this product darkened slightly less than my Transitions lenses (the Sunamoys are on the left), but I could not tell the difference while wearing the glasses. Interestingly, when I brought them indoors, the Sunamoys lightened noticeably quicker than the Transitions (Sunamoy on the right) - perhaps reflecting the harder-to-measure difference in maximum darkening of the Transitions lenses. The second photo is after about 2 minutes in a room with only indirect sunlight. The third photo is after over 5 minutes in an even less well-lighted room - the Sunamoys continue to lighten faster. After about 15 minutes, in the 4th photo, both glasses are fully clear. In conclusion, these Sunamoys darken as fast and nearly as much as my very expensive Transition prescription glasses and return to the clear state faster. Overall, I am impressed with the effectiveness of the photochromatic lenses of the Sunamoys. I bought these for mountain biking where I can't read my bike computer without some sort of glasses, but I find my prescription progressive lenses to be next to dangerous for aggressive trail and enduro MTB riding. I find a pair of 1.75-2.25 readers to be a perfect compromise between reading close up computer readings and clarity of trail features. I just wanted something a little more sporty looking than the cheap readers I can get at CVS of here on Amazon. I could buy a set of prescription readers similar to these Sunamoys, but with Transition lenses the cost approaches nearly $300. Even if these last only a few months each, I can afford to replace them a couple of times per year (and adjust the magnification as needed) for 3-5 years for what it would have cost me for one pair of prescription readers - that might not be any more durable. I compared the magnification of the 2.0+ Sunamoys to another paid of 2.0 readers I use when working on my computer and they are identical. It appears the Sunamoys are accurate in their stated magnification. PRO TIP: Do not buy wrap around readers. They will warp the image you see. For readers to remain optically neutral (no warping of objects as they get further from straight ahead), reader lenses have to be close to flat. That's why you will not find high end wrap around sport glasses (e.g. Oakley, Smiths, etc) with "reader" lenses. They all glue a second set of nearly flat reader lenses inside their actual sunglasses.

Very nice 😊

These are among the very few full-lens reading glasses that are also photochromic. For that reason alone, they are excellent. I bought them for running because I need readers to see my watch but still require sunglasses. The automatic tinting is a major plus. They also stay securely in place and rarely slip during workouts. The downside is the build quality. The frames break way too easily. I have reordered these 3x in the last two years. I am not overly rough on these glasses, but do have to tuck them into my hydration vest or short pockets during runs—nothing out of the ordinary for running sunglasses—but the plastic on these just doesn't hold up. At under $12 a pair, they are cheap enough to replace every few months, so until find a more durable brand I consider these a good option.

My existing multifocal glasses frame broke, so I bought a new one, but it's very uncomfortable because the front view is not clear when driving. I think I'll just have to use it as reading glasses.

I love these readers

I loved these readers when I first purchased them. They fit well, are durable, and unlike other brands, the hinges do not snap off easily. However, after several weeks of use, the place where the temples mount to the frame keep spreading out further and further. I do not hold these near heat or lay them on hot surfaces. It is the strangest thing ever! It's like they have been heated and malformed, and I can't get them to bend back. This has happened to both pair.

Not photochromic. Live in Texas and photo of transitions is over represented

Great product for the value and extras, fast shipping.
