I wear bifocal prescription glasses. It's very expensive to also have a set of prescription sunglasses, so having some type of help that supplements, but doesn't replace, my prescription glasses is very handy. When I was walking through a home supply store and safety glasses caught my eye, I knew I was on to something. I found these on Amazon, in both Smoke (grey) and Yellow. I gave them a try. I'm very pleased. They fit over my glasses just fine. Initially, they were a little tight behind the ears but either they've loosened slightly or I've just gotten used to it because after a few weeks it no longer bothered me. I've got normal-size glasses and these completely encompass them so they work fine. For those who have over-sized prescription frames, these might not work. The extensive amount of plastic on the frames may be bothersome for some people, but it's never bothered me. When I'm wearing the yellow lenses, others can see my glasses underneath and it probably looks a little bit goofy. Don't try to hang out looking cool with that setup but they're great for driving at twilight or in the fog. With the dark smoke lenses no one can see your regular glasses underneath and they pretty much look like (somewhat largish) regular sunglasses. They aren't perfect, but they're a very good cost effective solution for dark or yellow lenses for those of us cursed with bad eyesight.

I had been looking for tinted safety glasses for quite some time. I've owned several pairs of AO Safety glasses that are large enough for me to wear over a prescription pair of glasses, but they stopped selling the model that I typically buy. These fit the bill quite nicely. They are inexpensive, small profile (for overlay glasses), lightweight, and are Z87.1 "high impact" rated (+S). The side shade works OK, but the frame does block some peripheral vision. There is a top and bottom shade that drastically reduces glare -- Much better than my old AOS+S glasses. I bought an amber pair as well as the "smoke" gray dark tint, and I find that having two different options is quite helpful. I wear the amber glasses in lower-light conditions, such as early morning or early evening, or when it's overcast. Both are 99% UV blockers.

And they look good--better than most over-the-glasses types. Price is right, came on time. Couldn't ask for more. I save about $300 on new prescription shades. :-)
