Birdz Fit Over Sunglasses
Product arrived sooner than expected, in wonderful shape. These glasses are somewhat bulky but do a great job of protecting eyes from the sun, which is why I bought them. Be aware, however, that not all glasses fit compatibly with them. Luckily, my primary glasses do fit. If the sunglasses are compatible they are comfortable but some discomfort may develop if worn over an extended period of time. I believe this is reasonable for fit over glasses.
The included drawstring bag is also great and easily big enough to completely enclose the sunglasses. A very pleasant bonus.
Overall, a very fine product and reasonably priced.
satisfied with the experience.
They fit well over my glasses, no gaps, and not too heavy on the ears, and I'm able to wear them for several hours of driving at a time and be comfortable. They arrived quickly, packed well, and the price was pretty reasonable. I'd buy them again.
Good Quality
This is a product of good quality made in Taiwan. It is polarized and has side lens to protect eyes from the glare from the side as well as from the above. It wraps around my prescription eyeglasses very well. I would say generally it can fit prescription eyeglasses no wider than 5-1/2" and lens with height less than 1-3/4". However, there are two things need to mention. Since it is polarized, your LCD dashboard display may look weird. Although my speedometer is LCD display and not very clear when I wear this eyeglasses, I can still see it. Also, when I just started to wear this glasses, due to the side lens, sometimes I was afraid I was unable to see the blind spot clearly when turning my head before trying to change lanes, but after some time, I have got used to it.
Fit Over Sunglasses are not suitable for cycling use
These glasses are quite good and fit nicely over my prescription glasses.
I bought them to use while I go on bicycle riding, but I found them to be very inconvenient for that purpose. The frame is so thick all around that it creates a lot of blind spots. For example, when I am riding in bent position, I can not see a significant portion of the path ahead of me because the top of the frame is blocking it.
Again, I would like to emphasize that there is nothing wrong with the glasses for normal use if you are sitting or standing in upright position. Bicyclists have to look for something else.

Update 11/29/2011:
I bought two (one clear and one shaded) bifocal safety glasses and I couldn't be happier with what I got. I highly recommend for bicyclists to consider this option. I did not order from Amazon, but they seem to be available here.

Birdz Work!
These fit-over glasses really work well and are very comfortable. I liked the first pair so well that I ordered a second pair for "just in case". Try 'em, you'll like 'em!
Great product Great shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family and friends try them and think they are the
best they have ever used.
I highly recommend them.

Birdz Polarized Fit Over Sunglasses
Good sunglasses and work as advertised. Would like to see a few different sizes available for smaller glasses as these can be a bit large.
Cool Specs!
These are awesome. As a prescription eyeglasses wearer, I have been without sunglasses for as long as I can remember. I didn't want the incredible cost of buying 2 pairs of glasses. I have Transitions but for some reason they don't turn dark in the car. I can have the sun blaring right into my face while driving and my eyeglasses never turn. I recently had eye surgery and HAD to have sunglasses so opted for the Birdz Polarized Fit Overs and they are perfect! They fit great, they work great and they aren't too terribly heavy. I will say I don't think I'd want to wear them for 12 hours but for what I use them for, they are great. I highly recommend them.
Easy to wear sunglasses
The sunglasses are easy to wear since you simply wear them over your prescription glasses. Also, they do a wonderful job cutting down on the glare from the sun and reflective surfaces. I am satisfied with my purchase.
