The quality/ durability of these glasses was put to a test last December. That was the day I tripped & fell, face first, onto a concrete sidewalk. Though badly "mashed", my optometrists' people were able to restore the frame to "workability".
Though my face was badly fractured, the larger size of the lenses helped prevent serious damage to my right eye itself.

When I first shopped for these glasses, I decided I really liked the curvature, as it cut down on glare from the sides.
The sun is very strong here in the high dessert of western Co. UV rays are a serious problem in such climes.
The more you block them, the better. Though large, & holding my thick prescription lenses, I find them light on my face.

The one thing I do NOT like about this type glasses is that they require a larger case. The one which came with them was utter OVERKILL --- the size of a mini coffin !!  I found a replacement, with a clip with which to attach the case to some part of my person when going out & about.
