Reviews

Great glasses, except they sent me frame only without perscription

"This one star review is about not receiving my frames with the prescription I paid for. I received the frames with plastic insert lens and without any type of case. As this was my second pair, I do actually love the frames - the fit, the style and the prescription (in my first pair) was spot on. Very surprised this got through any type of quality control."

These glasses feel GREAT

"Great lenses (bifocals). Buyer beware if you are getting the zazzy frames with the orange temples. The color on line reads as "pleasant coral. " The color in real life is more like traffic cone orange. It took some adjustment, but it does offer a little zing, and safety is good. I will DEFINITELY order more from Smiths; I forget I am wearing glasses."

"What a great pair of glasses! The bows are more orange than salmon but they lemd a fun punch of color to any outfit. Very stylish shape that woukd work for many faces (mine is heart shaped) amd the bigger lens makes them perfect for progressive lenses. Definitely will be buying another pair with transition lenses for outdoor activities and daytime driving."

"fits incredible, ordering, shipping all went flawless and had them quicker than any prescription glasses i have ordered to date, if you're in between using your optometrist and Smith, use Smith!"

JUSTIN L. (5/5)

Great looking, great fit.

"These look amazing, fit perfectly, the only difference is that they are on the heavy side. Compared to my old RayBan at 0. 7oz, these are almost double at 1. 34oz. Now, I clarify that these comparison is with prescription lenses on both. And the lens on the bowline is 2mm taller than the RayBan’s. Single vision polycarbonate on both. Another factor on weight is that the styling on the Bowline’s has a thicker frame, so there. All in all, it is a great freaking pair of glasses."
