The bifocal sunglasses provide clear vision and good polarization for outdoor activities. The bifocal feature is useful for reading car instruments and fishing gear. The wrap-around design offers good coverage and blocks glare. However, the fit and sizing can be inconsistent, with some customers finding the frames too small or too large. The frames may also feel flimsy or cheap, and the rubber temple tips can leave marks on the face and deteriorate over time. Overall, these sunglasses seem to be a good option for those seeking affordable bifocal sunglasses, though the fit and durability may be a concern for some users.
These glasses are my go-to for reading while I'm outdoors. They wrap around nicely and fit my very large head. My eye doctor is actually the one who recommended them. I also bought

Won’t Leave Home Without Them
Fit: True to size
This is my fourth pair of Bean bifocal sunglasses and I love them for fishing, driving and outdoor sports. These are a little larger in terms of coverage area than my previous pair

do not fit face shape
Fit: True to size
The optics are blurry. I believe it is because the curvature of the glasses do not mimic the natural curvature of a face. I have worn LLBean sunglasses for 15 years and never had

XL but great
Fit: A little small
Used for: Casual or Every Day
After buying a different style that was much too small, I bought these. They are comfortable and the bifocal is great. I’m an average sized woman but had to buy XL, which struck me

Quality Glasses
Fit: A little large
I’ve owned several pair of sun glasses with readers. These are by far better quality in clarity and build.

sun glasses
Glasses are great but ordered wrong size. Should be large and I suppose my daughter ordered extra large. Making them work without sending them back for an exchange.

Good optics but flimsy feeling
Fit: True to size
The optics in both the normal vision section as well as the magnified portion of these sunglasses are good. They provide ample reduction of glare as well as reading magnification.
