In one of the Q&A stated these sunglasses offer no real eye protection. I live in Sunshine state (FL). Please comment on this.

Well I bought these and they are good at eye protection but not the best at it.

As much as any other sun glasses would. But as a video system they don't work.

bb gun? you are protected. police 9mm, No! In application, they work as well as the sunglasses sold in the "dollar store."

I were them here in Louisiana today in fact and it was a sunny day. I believe they do offer protection. There is no UV rating other than a comment somewhere about being standard polarized lenses.

I believe the answer is "yes" due the wavelength of the UV light (it doesn't matter what you're looking at - it's the light that's harmful). The glasses are cheap protection for your eyes.

Fred, Sorry, I don't know because as I said in the review, I sent them right back because they didn't fit well over my regular glasses like the real HD glasses do. I think if you read the other reviews you might find the answer. I vaguely remember someone complaining about protection.

Absolutely not. It enhances the glare from the street lights, if anything it's more dangerous when wearing them

No they dont. I put them on when facing the sun and it's like not wearing glasses at all. These don't offer protection from sun just from computers.

The particular ones I purchased, anti reflective clear lens, do not. They are for safety only in a work type setting. However, glancing at some of the other colors such as blue mirror or smoke it appears that those do offer UV protection.

Good question, Phil. I suspect these make a big difference outdoors. Indoors, at best they change your clarity just marginal!y. A lot depends on the brightness of the lights. But as for eye protection I'd choose them over clear lenses.

No. Do not play airsoft with these! Even if another person was able to stop some rounds it is not rated to withstand anything so it should be assumed entirely unsafe. In the absence of ratings lenses don't have to have strong quality control so one lens may be significantly stronger than the other due to the materials used or a manufacturing defect. Goggles like these buy their lenses in bulk from countries like China so you don't know how they were made. Your eyes are far too valuable to risk on subpar protection, especially for a price difference of ~$10. At minimum play with ANSI z87.1 but ideally MIL STD 662F. No. Do not play airsoft with these!

Unsure. I bought them specifically to protect my eyes from UV lamps operating in the 254nm range.

They were good for the day as sunglasses.. Not sure if they have uv protection though.

these glasses don't wrap around enough to be called wind proof. they won't work for say motorcycle riding but the regular wind outside, sure they help from normal conditions.

No these are high quality SAFETY glasses to protect your eyes. They are ANSI rated and self tint when you wear them outside. If you are looking for glasses to cut glare at night while driving these are not them, try looking for lenses with a full YELLOW tint.

I have several pair of dark sun glasses, that's why I ordered these "shooting" glasses. They have 99.9% UV Blocking, that's what "fries" the retina, not the bright light. I "hate" dark sun glasses for anything beyond fishing from a boat in bright sun shine - then I can see through the dark lenses. I understand these yellow lenses are also good good at night -I had a pair but seldom drive at night.

These goggles provide full protection against any debris you may encounter while performing yard duties. I would not suggest this type of eye protection for very hot weather use, something more breathable would be better suited. The lens is completely clear and does not provide protection against bright light, however these are made so that glasses can be worn underneath comfortably.

I like mine. They aren't heavy duty. The shade works very well and gives gives a good field of view. I'd check with his instructor to be sure.

Actually the sunglasses themselves are not reading glasses. There is a version of HD glasses that you wear OVER your regular reading or prescription glasses that I purchased. They worked very well at the beach so I could read and still enjoy the views at the beach.

Yes,they offer UV protection,but I am not sure of the protection level. Hope that helps
