Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimbo54362 Great clarity and sun protection!
These sunglasses exceeded expectation. They have great clarity while easing eye strain in the sun. I wish they came in +1.25 as the +1.50 is a little too strong for my eyes.

So far so good . Nice tint and good polarization . Blocks glare well .Took only a short time to adjust to the bifocals while fishing and didn't fall in once while wading . Sturdy ,comfortable ,and good looking frame with a fair price . They work for me .

Rated 5 out of 5 by streamsurfer Light weight, clear wide viewing, strong
These sunglasses were a welcome surprise. I usually shop for rimless sunglasses at other non-fishing related sites so I was surprised to see these in the LL Bean fishing catalog. The wrap around lens allows excellent lateral viewing that is not restricted by the strong thick temple arm. The 1.5x bifocal comes in handy and I am partial to amber/copper or smoke tinted lenses. The comfortable bridge contacts bring the glasses close to the face so you may have to modify the resting position outward slightly if you have a short nose, long eye lashes, or thicker cheeks to avoid a "goggle effect".
This high quality model has a nice combination of attributes.

My second pair of bifocal sunglasses. Alas, first were lost! They are comfortable and really ideal for sport and travel. In addition, they look great. They are worth the price and I have recommended them to friends and family. I am a long time customer and remain satisfied with the service and quality of LL Bean products. I am glad there is one retailer I can still rely on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BuyingLLBean30years Great bifocal sunglasses
My husband lost his first pair of these and tried going without for a while, but the substitutes don't measure up. These wrap around so they protect his eyes from glare and the bifocal part is big enough to be usable for reading on the beach. (The other llbean bifocal sunglasses have a smaller insert, which makes reading for any length of time difficult.) The quality of the lenses is much better than what you find at the drugstore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rxsrule Wow..what a difference
I wear prescription glasses to read. When fishing, I definitely need help. For the past 3 years I have been using flip magnifiers that attach to the brim of my hat. Then I wondered, what about bifocals? I was thinking about prescription bifocal sunglasses, but they would have cost a lot of money. So I saw these glasses.. I bought the 2.5 magnification, and they are awesome.. so much more convenient. You just have to learn not to look down when you walk because the ground will look blurry

Bought the Polaroid Performance Bifocals with these glasses, with the intent to return one pair. Ended up keeping both because of slight differences. The amber lenses will be great for cloudy days. The wrap around sides are not quite as comfortable, but still a good fit.
Both are great products which should hold up better than Maui Jim's, which broke 3 times before I gave up on them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by livinginmargaritaville Great Sunreaders
I bought these bifocal sunglasses for my husband who previously had to exchange his regular sunglasses for his bifocal readers when he wanted to see close up. He used them when fishing with a friend, and said he saw a dolphin (mahi mahi) swim right up to the trolled bait and take it. He keeps telling me that these are the best sunglasses he has ever worn. He also uses them while riding all over the island on his scooter. I just bought a second pair as a back up.

These sunglasses are the answer to my prayers. Now I can finally see the ?Swiss Made? on my watch! They fit perfect and have insane clarity but the convenience of not having to carry around reading glasses is the ultimate value. I bought them for an upcoming trip to Hawaii and now I can?t believe I ever lived w/out them. It took a few days to train myself on how to use them but now its second nature. Highly recommended due to convenience, performance and durability.

Love, love, love these sunglasses
especially since they hug around the sides and keep out glare and sun. Clarity is unsurpassed and proper magnification makes it outstanding to read in the sun!
