These things work just like reading glasses. They're easy to put on your sunglasses, they stay when you put them on, they're bloody marvelous!
ConsI first started using these 20 years ago, more or less, and I've never found anything to complain about. There are no cons, so far as I have been able to determine.
General CommentsEven though I've got 20/20 vision, my arms are just the teensiest bit too short, especially in a shadowed aircraft cabin. One thing I always hated was switching back and forth between my sunglasses and my reading glasses, or worse yet, wearing two pairs of glass (sunglasses and reading glasses) just so I could read the charts in my lap. With these little jewels, that's never an issue. Stick them on your sunglasses (about a 3 minute procedure), put your sunglasses on, and you're ready to rock and roll. It's like having bifocals with no prescription on top, and a reading prescription on the bottom. Believe me, this is one really great product. I can't recommend them highly enough.

ConsIf you cut them to fit a certain way you can not put them back together.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I can use them on any glasses, dark or not, cheap or expensive, without involving an optometrist. They are cheap enough so I can make up several pairs of glasses with different strengths for various purposes, and change them around if I need to. I'm an avid do it myself person, so they work very well for me. I can experiment all I want to get the positioning and shape just as I want it. With some savvy about how one's body works, what strength (diopter) one needs and how the lenses work, even though a bit finicky, they are easy enough to install on glasses. I got another pair of lenses from another Internet source for about 1/3 the cost of the ones I got from Sporty's. Don't know why Sporty's has to make them so expensive, especially the shipping. I have not had them long enough (2 weeks) to rate reliability or durability, but I suspect it is good. |
