Great for photophobia!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Just received a pair of these sunglasses yesterday. I have a severe case of photophobia due to Stargart's disease and sometimes need to wear a pair of sunglasses over my sunglasses on bright days. So I was pleased to find that this pair was really dark, as advertised. The construction of the glasses looks solid and the style is cool without being blingy.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019

TL;DR: Arrived on time in perfect condition. The shades cut down blazing direct sunshine on cloudless days to comfortable levels, and the almost contour-moulded frame means there're no surprise angles the sun can stab your eyes from.
First of all the item arrived in perfect condition, and on the second day of the delivery window, so good stuff there.
The shades themselves are exactly what i was looking for, and perhaps even more. I'm fairly light-sensitive to high levels of ambient environmental light (e.g. massive sunlight on a cloudless day to even just very bright light through light overcast clouds) and these shades cut it down to comfortable levels. They even cut it down so much that my phone on 75% brightness but small font can be difficult to read the map route ETA on the eye-level dashboard mounting about 2 feet away. These are *strong* shades, as they should be for Cat IVs.

Not great for severe photophobia

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2023

I bought these sunglasses because I have severe photophobia related to migraine headaches and they got really good reviews from multiple sources. They are listed as category 4 sunglasses. When I wore them in the car (passenger side) on an exceptionally sunny day when I had a migraine, they did not block the light enough to provide me with significant relief. I still felt like they let far too much light through, even when my eyes were closed. So I was skeptical that they were indeed category 4 sunglasses. I gave them to my father to try, and he said they were too opaque to wear on cloudy days, which suggests they may be category 4 but still not strong enough for someone with severe photophobia who is in direct sunlight.

NOT CATAGORY 4. Terrible glasses.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2019

They are no darker than any of the other sunglasses I own. As far as not using them for driving, WHY? I put them on and drove 10 miles. I could see every traffic light perfectly. I also had no problem seeing anything and anyone around my car. They are good sunglasses but not spectacular as they would want you to believe. It said made in the UK but it shipped from a warehouse less than 10 miles from my house ( in a suburb of Chicago). It also says Made In China on the glasses. BIG RIPOFF.

Nice Pair Of Sunglasses, But...

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023

I purchased mine in 2020, and plan to purchase another pair as a replacement. They are a nice pair of sunglasses, but the rubber earpieces do no hold up over time. The right one on mine is now missing, and my left one always slips off when I take my off the sunglasses. The rubber earpiece is either on the ground at that point or stuck on my ear. Perhaps the quality has improved since 2020? I'll soon find out.

Highly recommend! Great value for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2021

I love my new Rapid Eyewear sunglasses! They are very comfortable to wear, lightweight and are indeed very dark as described. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for dark sunglasses. I had a specific reason for really needing them for health issues. I am recovering from a concussion that has caused a lot of sensitivity to light, so these have been fabulous for when I watch TV or am outside on a sunny day. No comparison to any others I have found on the market. I also got a pair for my husband and son for times we are outside and at a lake or beach come summer time. And these are a huge value for the money!

The only glasses that I've found that are almost dark enough.
