Aloha Eyewear"Stone Creek MX1" Men's Wrap-Around Bifocal Reading Sports Sunglasses (Black w/Smoke +1.50)

I wear these glasses year-round and believe I now own three pair. The ability to wear them and not have to carry a pair of readers(cheaters) for outdoor activities is great. Whether fishing and needing to tie a lure or remove a hook, working on outdoor appliances or projects and needing to look at small pieces or read small specifications on parts, barrels or documentation... I find it automatic to use the reader section without even thinking about it. I was inspired to write the review on this purchase as these have become my "Go To" glasses without even a thought. When I accidentally left and locked a pair in my cottage for the winter, it was no worry... simply order another pair knowing that I'll have those available in spring in good condition. IF there were one weakness, it is simply that they have plastic lenses- which means they will scratch. At the same time, this is an asset as they also serve as safety glasses for minor impact. I wear them while tree trimming, using a chainsaw and they do well in protecting my eyes with that debris flying around. Looking for a good durable and practical pair of sunglasses - you found them.

I needed a pair of effective glare-reducing, polarized, sturdy glasses that offer a magnification bi-focal as well as feel good, look good and block all the sunlight that ages/harms your eyes--especially from sides. I read the reviews and bought these and I LOVE THEM. EVERYDAY, I love wearing them! They look good, magnify beautifully, are very well made and--most importantly--are distortion free. The bi-focal magnification is totally invisible from anyone looking at you. They are robust and have great, sturdy, rubber-lined sides that hug and lenses that curve around to fit your face beautifully. They're inexpensive but look good, without looking foolishly trendy. You'll be glad you bought them everyday you face the strong sun in them. Your eyes WILL thank you.

So, I purchased the “tortoise shell” glasses. They were only half as much as the other colors.Cons: The glasses do not have the “Aloha” logo on them anywhere, which makes them look a little generic. They also don’t come with the Aloha colorful case. They come with a plain black case.Pros: They actually seem like halfway decent glasses. They are lightweight and seem flexible and sturdy. I guess time will tell if they hold up. The bifocal area is actually more perfect than any of my “non-sunglasses” bifocals. They are pretty comfortable to wear.I suppose I should be lucky they’re actually useful, for the price I paid. I’m not returning them. I’ll keep them, because I actually like them.

Great looking, comfortable, and does what it's supposed to do. My husband and I are both on our 2nd pair after we screwed up the first pairs. (Don't shove them in your purse with an emery board) The glasses come with a sturdy zipper case and a cloth to clean them with. The advertise "men's" but they fit my face just fine. Go for it, girls!

I really like these sunglasses. I use to have Prescription Maui Jim’s which I loved, but after feeding two pairs to the ocean, they were getting expensive. The maui Jim’s did provide greater eye coverage which is important to me when sailing. These are the perfect combination of looks, performance, and functionality. People looking at me can not see the bifocals at all which I like. The bifocals are great for using my phone and reading my Kindle outside. They also grip my head firmly making them perfect for riding bike without having to use cat paws.

I was not paid or offered anything for this review. I found these TERRIFIC glasses after my eye doctor wanted to sell me a pair of Maui Jim Ho'okipa Bifocal Sun Reader Designer Reading Glasses for $372 (yes, what a ripoff but I am in the Caribbean - they retail on Amazon for $229.00). He said my eyes are sun damaged. At this great price, I took a chance on buying these knockoffs tortoise shell-style pair for my husband who needed a different reader and he loves his. But my primary purpose was for myself. I also took another chance and bought the grey/black ones even though I am a woman (without a big head) and these are men's sunglasses because price and value for money was essential to me. Both pairs fit each of us perfectly, protect my eyes & I can read in them if necessary. My husband couldn't believe he could read in his. They each came with a case (his was a tad nicer). I give these glasses my highest recommendation considering how often we lose sunglasses and the fact that I am VERY pleased with them. They are fit for purpose, large field of view and comfortable. I also researched another knockoff of the Maui Jim's - "Maui Sun" Bifocal Sunglasses Lightweight TR-90 Frames for Men and Women 100%UV which I now see are reduced 50% off at 19.95 if you want a different style (they also got good reviews & have the same case) & I considered them, too. I am so happy I saved so much money!

I bought 5 different readers to see which one would work. Either the reader was too large or the reader was blurry. On these glasses the reader was blurry when held at lap length (holding a book in your lap, or cell phone). The reader only worked for me if i held the cell phone at chest level close to my face. This is much too close for me. Maybe this works for someone else. On the flip side, the reader is only at the bottom of the lens and didn’t interfere with my normal line of sight to walk around. So, that was perfect. If only the reader worked for the right distance, a little farther i would have kept them.
