My husband ordered these for me after my research and choice. I was careful to accurately measure my RX frames and lenses before I was confident I was choosing the right Cocoons "style". Reviews warned of odd fit, but I am pleased with the Slim Line (medium) fit and style. At first they seemed large on my face, but not so. The ability to wear these over my RX lenses is awesome. I like the stylish look and had some double-take glances my way today (the new eyewear, right?) I wasn't sure about the lens color choice and went based on a look/style. The product upon delivery included detailed information about the lens color choices that I hadn't seen in my pre-buy research. These are amber, I may have preferred the gray (I will not give these up now however!). While I was driving it was easy to see in my peripheral vision zones. Even though these have thick "temples", Do not let that deter your choice. I tend to be sensitive to light from previous bouts of ocular migraines and use visors, caps, or cheesy sunglass visors. The hour I spent on the beach today did not require the use of any of those! The case: Its alright. Made well and plenty of room for the sunglasses. When folded my Slim Line Cocoons are 1 and 3/4 of an inch tall/thick. I would be cautious of the zipper teeth as they may be sharp enough to scratch a lens. This is one decision and purchase I did well. Like others have said: I will buy more pairs! I am more than pleased! Delivery was ahead of schedule.

I won't lie to you -- these are not as fashionable as the one you'll see rock stars and spies wearing... But the ones with the Tortoise frames don't look too bad, and they work.

My eyes are very sensitive to bright light, so I have to wear sunglasses. I used to have to spend up to $500 a pair for prescription glasses, and the lenses might have to be changed every year. It also was a hassle, especially if I had to do this while driving, to have to take off my regular glasses, make sure they were is a safe place where the lenses wouldn't get scratched, and put on the prescription glasses.

With these, it's easy off, easy on -- just like it is for someone who doesn't wear glasses. I have to buy new ones only if I've allowed the lenses to get scratched or damaged. (Or possibly if they come out with more fashionable frames.) The wrap-around design really protects my eyes.

In short, they're just what I needed. I recommend them for anyone who wears glasses and needs to protect their eyes from glare.

There is nothing worest than glasses that are too big or cause discomfort when wearing for long hours. The Cocoon offers you a chance to appropriatly size the glasses for a comfortable fit. You will notice when you first put them on how clear and sharp your surroundings become given their excellent ability to increase contrast. As you take them off, the world seems to go back to being rather bland. I find I wear them even when I do not need the sunglare protection and even on a cloudy day I gain improved vision, especially when driving. I rate them high, and bought an extra pair to keep in my cars and for home outdoor use. The provided case and cleaning cloth are an extra nice touch that increase the value.

I love them. They fit easily over my glasses, are comfortable and still look attractive.

It arrived on time. The sun glasses works so well on my glasses. It is indispensable in the hot summer.

These sunglasses work great for those of us who need prescription lens. It would cost me over $300 for prescription sunglasses and these are a terrific alternative. I do recommend going to a local store that sells them to try the different styles and tints on first. Cocoon makes a number of different sizes, styles, lens tints, etc. and you need to know what exactly fits your needs. You can then get the model number and order them online from Amazon. I actually purchased a pair from a local sporting goods store and then ordered a different lens tint later from Amazon. So I have two pair of Cocoons for less than a third of what one pair of prescription glasses would cost. The quality of the Cocoons is very good...a great buy.

The Cocoon sunglasses are an answer to anyone wearing eye glasses with insufficient protection from the sun. With the Signature no frame slim line glasses with transition for outdoor eye protection, I needed additional protection. The special made clip on's were no longer made. I was having a very difficult time in the sun. I was ready to buy large framed sunglasses to get more protection, but with trifocals, I would then have difficulty adjusting to the visual changes. When I discovered the Cocoon sunglasses, I was thrilled. They fit perfectly over my regular glasses. There is no added weight. There is no conflict around my ear. The sun is totally blocked. Another benefit is the protection of my regular glasses from being blown away when on our boat.

These Cocoons Slim Line were far too bulky for my taste. Do not think they are very comfortable. I returned them.
