In Style Eyes Lovin Mawi Bifocal Wrap Around Sunglasses Polarized Reading Glasses Reduce Sun Glare Near Invisible Line

The small bifocal lens is not limiting normal use as sunglasses., as it doesn't limit the forward view. The polarized lens eliminates glare and reflections during rain and at dusk. Perfect for driving. Good glass quality, definitely worth the money. Also the wrap around glasses are a perfect wind, bug, and dust protection, when I ride my mountain bike and go fast. With the bifocals I can perfectly see close-up controls and mounted mobile phone screen, without having to even move my head. Read more

I don't mind spending money on shades and typically buy Smith, Ray Ban, Dragon, Native, VonZipper etc. Getting to that age where my reading vision is starting to go and I was looking for a way to read on the deck without having to wear two pairs of glasses. I found these things and was not expecting too much. But it turns out that they are a heck of a value. As someone commented, they are plastic, and that makes them seem a bit cheap, but a lot of shades that cost way more are also plastic these days. They are light weight, look great, have a decent polarized gray lense, and the built in bifocal works great for reading. And they come with a pretty nice hard case and cleaning cloth. I was pleasantly surprised with the qulaity and the value. Read more

I'm a big Maui Jim fan (in general), but after losing two pair ($$ ouch) and not wanting to pay more than I should, I ran across these and decided to give them a shot. Upon receipt, I was pleasantly surprised! I compared them side-by-side to my Maui Jim Makahas, and fit was nearly identical (both very comfortable for full-size male). One reviewer here claimed that these were not polarized, but mine were polarized every bit as well as the far more expensive Maui Jim glasses, as evidenced by testing several reflections (rotate the glasses through 180 degrees while viewing a reflection off of a metal surface) and outdoor scenes/looking into water. I'm used to the Maui Rose lens color, so these green-ish lenses were not as nice--to me--as the Maui Jim lens color, but that's just personal preference, and they seemed to work just great as sunglasses, which is, after all, their purpose, so no deductions there. The only place I could find fault--and it's fairly minor--was with the bifocal portion of the lens. It worked well, and cannot be (easily) seen from the front of the lens, but I wish the bifocal portion would have extended up, higher on the lens. More on that in a moment. Now, if you have prescription bifocals with smooth gradient transition between the two lens strengths, these may be a bit of a surprise that in that they are a step-function (sharp transition) from near- to far-vision, and that may take some getting used to (Maui Jims are the same). And the bifocal portion is almost like a sticker add-on--you can feel a 'bump' where the bifocal portion is (just like Maui Jim readers). (I didn't try to peel it off to see if it was really a sticker or not, but it feels like it may be, although that's not a knock against the readers, as it is well-done and looks solid). Regarding the positioning of the reader lenses--and this is likely a personal preference thing, too--I wish the reader portion would have extended up higher on the lens. That is, when I'm driving, with my hear looking 'normally' forward (i.e. not tipped down nor up), the reader portion only covers the steering wheel horn (center of the steering wheel) on down--it does not cover any of the dashboard instrument cluster. Now, I can see the instrument cluster just fine without readers (although readers help slightly), but the issue comes when, at a red light and I check my phone, I have to really tip my head backwards so that the bottom reader-portion of the lens lines up with my phone screen. My preference would be to leave my head horizontal, and only redirect my eyes to look down at my phone screen (which is much more natural). And the only way to do that is to either push the glasses farther up my nose (uncomfortable and strange-looking), or move the reader lenses higher up on the main lenses. So, it's a bit of a bummer. I will say, however, that these are actually quite a bit _better_ than the Maui Jim readers in that regard, as the Maui Jim's have a far _smaller_ (and even lower on the lens) reader portion, meaning you almost have to look straight down at your chest to use the reader portion of the Makahas. Maybe it's just the way I wear my glasses, or hold my head while I'm driving...I don't know. All I know is that both of them are too low for me, although I appreciate the fact that you can get reader sunglasses, and especially at a great price. One suggestion that I just tried (with great success) was to take a pair of non-reader sunglasses, and add a reader-lens overlay Hydrotac Stick-on Bifocal Lenses (OPTX 20/20)- +1.75 Diopter to them, which can be positioned anywhere you like (within reason). Worked like a charm! No more head-tilting when reading a phone at stop-lights. (Just remember to pay attention and be respectful of other drivers when the light turns green again--be safe out there). Overall though, these are great sunglasses, and good alternatives to the more expensive Maui Jim readers. Thanks In Style Eyes! Read more

Could not be happier, for the cost they are great. I gave sun protection a four because the lens do not completely keep out the sun, but I knew that when I ordered them. I actually need a 250 magnification which was not available but they do the job well with the next lower mgnification. It is really great to glance down and be able to easily read the gauges and info screen in my vehicles while wearing these. I've had them for a few weeks and so far they really seem to be of high quality, much better than I expected for the price. I don't think you'd be disappointed with these. Read more

Very stylish and extremely comfortable to wear, the tint is also to my liking. 10 out of 10 for me. Read more

These are lightweight, and the springy wrap-around style fits me well (hat size 7). I like that the bifocal area is small and well below my normal line of sight. I can wear them as regular sunglasses and the bifocal does not distract, but it's there if I need it. I agree with another poster that it would be a little inconvenient to try to read a book with this small bifocal area, and be aware that the polarization can "black out" some electronic screens (tilt your head a little to see the screen at gas pumps etc). If you want a great pair of normal sunglasses that also lets you quickly read something small, this is it. If you want reading sunglasses that let you occasionally look up at a distance, get something with a bigger / higher bifocal area. Read more

A Maui Jim Style sunglass...I also have the Maui Jim glasses, but they got scratched up. These are similar without the frame part above the lens. These may prove to be not as robust, so I will handle them with care. They are extremely comfortable for the nose piece. We will see how they work out long term, however, my iniitial impression is very positive. I thought the magnification part would be better...It's ok but not as good as the MJs so a point lost.

The strength of the readers is off. Requested 2.5. They are more like 1.5. Seem sorta cheap…even for $40. Bout them for piloting. Probably won’t work. Read more
