Vintage Round Sunglasses John Lennon Style Steampunk with Polarized Lenses for Retro Women and Men

There shades are pretty damn good. Used them for driving a couple of times, and they really help down here in Texas during my sunrise and sunset commute. Only downside? I have a huge head, so the glasses look tiny in comparison. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I like the look since it contrasts the huge eyewear my girlfriend uses, and it makes me look like I'm somewhere in the middle between John Lennon and Ben Franklin. However, I wish the frames were a bit wider. Due to the round shape of the glasses, it's fairly obvious that the frame is over-extending as the inside of the shades angles outward from my face.Otherwise, they feel light, but fairly well built, and they came with a tiny two-headed screwdriver to tighten the frames if they get lose. That's really appreciated. I like them, so I'll probably use the hell out of it, but it's fairly obvious I might need to custom make a pair for my giant noggin.

Aoron certainly goes all out; supplying along with my purchase a case, cleaning cloth and even a tightening screw driver. The glasses themselves looked as they should have. All was right with the purchase till I actually put-on and wore the glasses.....The trouble is the optics. Have you ever worn 3D glasses outside the theater? The effect the glasses demonstrate is very close. I even brought them into work and asked almost 10 co-workers how they judged the glasses clarity and ability to see, All noted the probmatic optics. A few judges even reported feeling dizzy.I agreed. You would never want to wear them driving. That makes them almost useless to me. Going to a 60s/70s party and plan on having a great time ? Don't leave these glasses on if attempting to navigate stairways.Sorry. I like the way they look, but at the very least, they are made with poor quality control and impede (as mine came) clear, safe vision

I liked them so much, and for the price, I bought spares as well...THE GOOD: Lenses are polarized and "right sized" for me, you can even use these glasses for fishing and look cool as well; the price is about right for polarized lenses. The ND factor (darkness) is perfect on a bright day.THE BAD: The frame is a tad flimsy, one of the lens fell out while I was cleaning it and adjusting the frame (easily slipped back in, but use care when doing it and the supplied cleaning cloth to hold the lens), the lens' polarization angle had to be adusted - again, no biggie, use the reflected sunlight off a floor, turn the lenses until each is dark, and its done in all of 30 secs.... a dab of clear epoxy in the correct locations fixes the lenses from turning in their frame and/or falling out.

The most immediate thing I noticed was that these glasses were a bit small. They hugged my head snugly, which was nice as my older sunglasses are loose and prone to slide off my nose, but the arms on that unless these pressed right up against my eyebrows they threatened to slide off my ears. I do think my head is a larger size, so it may be my fault for not checking the arm measurements on these. Still, way smaller than I was prepared for.I had no other complaints about the style nor construction, though I've only had them for a few hours. My main concern was for the polarization of the lenses. These lenses are polarized and cut down on glare and reflections, but while first wearing these I noticed an issue where it felt like one of my eyes was blurry while wearing the glasses. I eventually realized that one lens was not blocking as many reflections as the other. I found that if the lenses are not oriented the same way, the polarization does not line up correctly, causing each eye to receive a different amount of reflection reduction. The only problem I had with this was that it is very distracting while driving, as again it felt like one eye was blurry. This was corrected simply by rotating the round lens in the frame. Once the two lenses are properly 'calibrated', they work great with no issues.

Lens size is bigger than I was expecting and looks rather comical on smaller faces. The quality is below prescription frames & lenses, but is far superior to drug-store sunglasses...so they are definitively better than $5 sunglasses, but not as great as $150 sunglasses. The metal parts are light and sturdy and the hinges are really nice quality (just barely below prescription frame hinges). The only cheap and flimsy parts are the nose guards. Overall a good buy for the price.Not sure what I think about the polarized lenses though. It takes some getting used to, although it definitely does alleviate squinting and the headaches caused by light-sensitivity...I just feel like I'm trippin' balls when wearing these out in daylight and look at metallic objects (oh, and do not look at a non-LED LCD or try driving with these on. Just a friendly warning!).To the person complaining about how these 60's style glasses aren't of the same quality as the ones he bought in the 60's and are more expensive than the ones he bought in the 60's: seriously d00d that was 50 years ago and thanks to the progress of science and industry we developed these cool space-age materials in the decades since, such as plastics and lightweight amorphous metals that are far more durable than the brittle nylon and tin alloys used back then. As for price there is this thing called "inflation" (maybe you've heard of it?). Just like gas (petrol) today costs many times more than the $0.05/gallon that it did back in the 60's, these shades would be the equivalent of $2.50 pair of shades from the 60's which is priced just about right. Why don't you take your Nostalgia Goggles off and go back to telling kids to get off your lawn instead of leaving "back in my day" reviews!
