text: These are good for what they are: a cheap knock-off of Maui Jim sunglasses. From the front this model is a dead ringer for one of the Maui Jim models (which I also own), though the temples are a bit different and this lacks an inner frame across the top of the lenses that the Maui Jim's have. As cheap sunglasses, though, these do a very reasonable job.<br /><br />But there's a reason why even the cheapest reading glasses are made of glass, not cheap plastic. The reading part works well enough, though the view is not so clear that I would want to read with these for an extended period of time.  The border between that part of the lens and the rest of it, however, is visible to the wearer as a slightly blurry line. It isn't directly in the field of vision but can be quite annoying. (The same border on the Maui Jim's is invisible to the wearer.)<br /><br />I can recommend these if you need a cheap pair of sunglasses for occasional use and very occasional, quick reading. But for regular sunglasses or extended reading you should pay for glass lenses.
