Perfect for conversion to Magnet Clip ons
When I got my last pair of glasses the optician offered polarized Clip ons that attach with magnets. They were $150 a piece and I had money back then and bought a black one and a yellow one for night driving.These were so great and easy that I can not live without them.Fast forward to now…. I needed new glasses, the magnet option was not offered and I do not want to spend the money to buy new ones.So I DIYed them for me.I needed to drill holes into my expensive glasses and I had no idea if this would work without destroying them so I used my old glasses to test the drilling.Here is what you need:- Rotary tool like a Dremel. I had this and it worked great: TACKLIFE Cordless Rotary Tool - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075N68KRZIt had all the bits I needed to drill and its easier to use than a huge dremel.- LUFF Polarized Clip on Sunglasses in brown and yellow. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GLC9LC8I picked those because the clip spring can be easily removed so only the bridge is left.- Magnets. Small thin ones. I used 4mm x 1mm round magnets. You can find those on Amazon too.- And last (Optional) UV glue. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XJ28LZPTo seal the holes and cover the magnets. Plus if you buy just the glue you need a UV lamp to set the glue or you buy a kit with a UV LED like Bondic. This stuff is so useful for all kinds of things.Step 1:You remove the spring and the parts that press the clip on to your glasses. I just used some pliers. Only the bridge will be left.Step 2:You hold the Clip ons onto your glasses and see if they are bigger and mark the overhanging parts with a sharpie. Then you trim/sand away all those parts. The rotary tool has the right attachment for that. You do not have to but it made them more custom. Maybe buy 2 pairs and practice on one first. Now you have a customized pair of Clip ons that fit your glasses perfectly.Step 3:Mark (carefully) the position you want the magnets to be. As close to the left and right edge as possible but not too close that you can break the lens. That is the frightening part. You use the rotary tool to drill a very small hole and then use that hole and the cone shaped bit to make it bigger. Do this very slowly. You do not want to melt the lens or have it get too hot. Just do it in steps and remove all the debris every time you stop. Try if the magnet fits and if not then continue. But DO NOT drill bigger than the magnet. So go slowly until the magnet fits and you can press it into the hole and it is stuck. No glue needed.Step 4:Seal the back of the glasses with the UV glue. Fill the hole up and harden it. This way no dirt can catch in there and it makes it a little nicer. But you do not have to.**That was the delicate part. If this goes wrong you have ruined (maybe) an expensive pair of glasses so think twice before you do this and practice on an old pair or buy a cheap pair or used pair to practice and see how this works.**Step 5:Do the same with your Clip ons. If you ruin those, you just buy another pair. Not expensive and try again. Make sure to insert the magnets so that they attract each other. But if not, pop them out and turn them around. No big deal.Step 6:Magnets are brittle. I have noticed that after some use they flake off and you will get dark grey magnet dust around your magnets and they can even break. You click magnet to magnet over and over again. To prevent that I coat the Clip on inserted magnets with the UV glue. At least the parts that touch each other.Coat ONLY the magnet in the Clip on not the magnet in the glasses. If you coat both, you will loose too much strength of the magnets, plus it looks better without the glue on your glasses. It works great and gives a soft buffer. Plus. I have noticed you can use this to color the outside part of the magnet. A silver disk sticks out visually on black Clip ons. So I painted them with a sharpie (yellow for yellow and black for brown and black Clip ons) and put a drop of UV glue on top. It looks shiny and full black after you do that. Then Harden the glue.Done. I have done this 5 times by now. I have 2 pairs of progressive glasses in two very different shapes and created a black and orange clip on for the big glasses and brown, black and yellow for the smaller ones.I put magnets on my sun visor in my car. Metal would work too - Just less strong. So now the Clip ons are attached to the visor when I do not use them and with one move they go from the visor to my glasses while I drive.If the magnets ever break… No problem. Since they are hopefully not glued in (and you were careful while you drilled so you did not have to use glue to keep them in there) you can just pop them out and put new ones in.The professional Clip ons: The magnets are smaller and are inserted on the front and do not go all the way through. The lenses are better quality and really custom to your glasses. You have to send in your glasses for them to do this. So yes... if you have the money do that, but for $150 (4 years ago) a piece... My solution is cheaper with the same function. $15 Clip ons, $8 magnets, The rotary tool I had but it was $19 and the glue I had too but it was $10 for (no name refill or $22 for the Bondic kit. The original Bondic lasted me for several yearsBest part is you can layer them. You know the time of the day when the sun is so low - below your visor - and you are driving towards the sun and can not see a thing. If you have two of those Clip ons. Like a black and brown one. They stick to each other. I put one on top of the other. The magnets work that way. I can see and they are easily removed while driving once the sun is below the horizon.

True flip ups!
I’ve been looking for flip ups that actually flip! Most have clamps in four locations making it impossible to change quickly as the environment requires (for me this is while on my bike). These fit well and flip up and down easily!

Nice quality for the money. Fit just so so for the glasses I have.
I bought just to try them, the price was very reasonable; the fit is not perfect - but good enough to use. My intention was just to have an interim solution as necessary. For that purpose, these are just fine.

Much Better than expected! Until second pair
First Pair-Clip ons are usually difficult and made poorly. These are easy to clip on, stay in place and the tint is perfect for the beach! Well done and great value for the money. We might buy a second pair.Then I bought a second pair but the new flip-ups. I thought the new flip-up would be the same size but they are not. They are too large at the clip and as a result, they scrape my nose. I can't use them and I'm hoping the seller exchanges them for a second pair of the original non-flip ups I bought as these new flip ups are terrible. The originals were great! Update: Heard from the seller very quickly and they sent me the original pair right away. GREAT customer service!

Awesome!
These clip-ons fit my glasses perfectly. And it's mainly because of their smaller clip design. I also appreciate the hard carrying case and top quality cleaning cloth which was included. I am more than satisfied with this purchase.

I like them
I like them, nice, protective, professional, lounge. I have taken these on business, work, and casual vacation and so far they have not let down. They are see through in the daytime just if your eerie about that. Your eyes can be seen during the daytime. Sunset there’s too much glare to see through to your own eyes and if it’s blinding out then they might not be strong enough to protect your eyes. But wearing a hat solves the problem instantly. I’d recommend these for easy flip on and off

Love these
Work great over top of my prescription glasses. Now I don't have to continue to switch glasses when going in and out of the sun.

They Keep Out The Sun and are Clear
I wear prescription Glasses with Progressive lenses but they are not polarized. After getting a convertible and living in Florida, I needed some way to keep out the sun. Bought these. They are a bit hard to clip on but they fit my rectangle frames almost perfectly. The only thing I don't like is the clip in middle is a bit bulky and looks kind of weird, so you can tell they are clip ons. They came in a plastic case and cleaning cloth which was nice. They do what they were made for. I can see really good with them on my glasses. But again taking them off and on with poor eyesight is not that easy. A little high priced I feel but they work.

Best for people with prescriptions glasses
Its a very affordable product for people with prescription glasses. It provides best functionality as required. Not recommended for people who like fancy glasses as it works well.

Excelente polarizado.
El armazón es realmente ligero y pequeño, pero no se ve frágil. Tuve otros enormes que se veían muy mal.El polarizado es bueno. Incluye una pequeña imagen que ayuda a determinar si realmente hay polarizado o no (otros que tuve no eran realmente polarizados y eso es peligroso para la vista)Algunos comentarios indican que es "muy oscuro". Yo pienso que es adecuado ya que estos polarizados se requieren realmente cuando hay mucho sol o mucha luz y no cuando hay sombra. Si se utiliza en interior si se ve bastante oscuro aunque no impide ver.Son ligeros y cómodos. El estilo es genérico pero se ven de buen gusto. A simple vista no se ve que sean sobrepuestos. Tienen buen tamaño y cubren bien inclusive lentes grandes. Pienso comprar un par más. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Polarizado real
Muy buena opción para lentes graduados rectangulares, excelentes en condiciones de manejo soleado o cualquier actividad con sol. Realmente polarizados y cumplen con la facilidad y comodidad de instalarlos en 3 segundos. Super ligeros que es muy bueno para no cansar el uso prolongado. Tenía opción de mandar hacer unos lentes graduados polarizados, pero me salia como en 3,200 pesos mínimo y con el precio de este accesorios, super económico. Super recomendables.
