I like it better than my expensive RX glasses

UPDATE April 2021: I still like them after a while. I like them better than my very expensive Rx glasses. In fact, I rarely wear them anymore. I've dropped them, they've skidded on the hard floor, hit the concrete (on one occasion the lens popped out and I put it right back in) and to date I have very little scratches. In the past, they were more durable than expensive Rx goggles. I think I'll order another pair and keep these to work on projects in the garage as I finally managed to scratch them up a bit. But which would you prefer: replacing $400 Rx goggles when they're scratched, or replacing $25 goggles. I endorse the more original review below. I still think the price is great. I had several prescription glasses. I can't see anything clearly for the first 3 feet of me, so I had Progressive for computer work - a keyboard for clear screen viewing. I've always had a very limited choice because I need a larger 6'2 frame. Also, for some reason ALL my $400 RX goggles scratch like crazy (even with the extra purchased scratch protection which is only good for a year before you have to buy another pair). Also on my last couple of RX's they insisted on working with the computer, I MUST have a blue color blocker installed on it. I didn't want that because I edit videos and photos on calibrated monitors and blue blockers change colors. But of course they're worn anyway and I can't use them on this job, so I started looking for 'cheaters' like that. Anything I could find in local stores was too small, but I found the magnification level in a way that worked for me. Then I came and found her on Revain. I really like her. If I could wish for one thing it would be an anti-reflective coating as I sometimes get flare off my face on the back of the lens is a minor thing but more importantly these things are a lot harder to scratch than my expensive RX's. I wasn't nice to them and I still don't have scratches. Find out. It's also important that if you're a tall man with a big head, you know how difficult it is to find a pair that isn't too small for your face and fits well. It doesn't look like you're wearing baby glasses with it. I will definitely buy another pair of these if I ever need more. Especially when they start offering it with an anti-reflective coating.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
