I just placed an order for them. It's so cheap compared to most wrap-around prescription sunglasses (Which I've been pricing) it was worth a shot.

Sometimes you just have to try something. Besides, I payed with paypal and they're verified so if they aren't any good I will file a dispute.

I have a feeling they might be a little bit fishbowly. Wrap around (curved) lenses require a special bevel cutting to give an undistorted view. I doubt for that price they'll be cut specially.

I'm hoping for the best. I know they won't be perfect. If you are going to drive or fire guns with them, by all means spend the correct amount of money and get a perfect pair (heavyglare.com). Your eyes aren't something to get cheap with.

I ordered them for an extra pair for kayaking as I break/lose so many pairs.

I might add, I was disappointed they didn't have amber. Yellow is terrible...I really wanted amber lenses.

I'm going to suck it up and get a proper pair if these aren't good. I kind of want polarized amber in wrap around

BTW...aren't most shooting glasses polarized? The cheap option on globaleyeglasses are NOT polarized. That is quite a bit more on all the budget glasses sites.

I don't recommend a wrap in prescription glasses.

Although clicking on your signature link almost made me barf, i'm coming back to report my findings to you.

I assume you haven't ordered yet. I was informed that my prescription was too strong for the curved lenses and that they wouldn't make them.

oh well. Probably best to get a real pair from heavyglare anyways, eyesight is definitely not something to be cheap about

Buying glasses from globaleyeglasses.com was a NIGHTMARE. I have never experienced worse customer service. On the same day, Jan 30, 2007, I ordered glasses with the exact same prescription (but different models) from three vendors: go-optic.com, 39dollarglasses.com, and globaleyeglasses.com. I received them all about the same time-- within 1-2 weeks, but the sunglasses I ordered from globaleyeglasses.com just didn't work. I saw double vision, and they were very painful--there was definitely something wrong with them. The other pairs of glasses from the other companies were fine. Over the next several months I had the most frustrating consumer experience of my life. I called and emailed many, many times. Each time I emailed, I would get a new email back saying that there must be something wrong with the prescription and to get a new one. Eventually, I learned that the glasses weren't compatible with my prescription, and they asked me to send them back (at my expense) and to pick a new pair. I did so immediately. Nothing happened! Each time I called (when I could get through) and explained the situation to someone new, they said they would check into it, and PROMISED (I made them swear) to call me back, but no one ever did! Eventually, I learned that the replacement pair I had chosen *also* wasn't compatible. Now it is April 21, almost 3 months after I placed my order, and I have finally received my replacement. The funny thing is, they still didn't get it right-- I asked for a dark tint, and they are tinted light (I'm not crazy enough to complain about that!). Through the whole thing, no one really seemed to care that they had messed up, and there seemed to be absolutely no system for tracking my problem, no recourse, just craziness.
Everyone I talked to and emailed there-- and there were many many long emails and telephone conversations-- it was like I was talking to someone about the problem or order for the very first time -- and then immediately after I talked to them they completely forgot about it. Do NOT order from this company. They are actually not cheaper than other companies -- for lenses with even intermediate strength, they add an extra charge (which you don't see until you check out). Also, unlike the other companies, they never requested to see my prescription or the name of my doctor. They never offered any sort of compensation for my troubles, and I suspect they hoped that I would just forget about it for the $40 I spent.

We have sent him the replacement frame without charging the buyer anything extra. Director, GlobalEyeglasses.com

my 2 cents: never bought from globaleyeglasses but i HAVE bought a pair from zenni (so-so quality) and 3 pair from eyebuydirect (very very happy with quality/price ratio). highly recommend that u check the return policy before purchasing...

you are dropping the ball with orders at globaleyeglasses and the word is spreading.
i thought i'd give your site a try but my order has not shipped in the time frame promised. i was told that you broke the frame when inserting the lens and there were no more of those frames available. i emailed an inquiry on the shipment date and 1 response said they were getting ready for shipment. then, another email came with a solicitation for more expensive lenses.
now, i inquired about the tracking number only to learn that you still had the old frame number listed for me/ had not begun my order after 2 weeks had passed since i paid for it. you have nonworking links on the site and conflicting emails going out on orders.
not good signs....

GlobalEyeGlasses.com hmmmm.... what can I say about them that my momma would approve of?........... Lets see where to start...........

Well, what started off as a excellent bargain on a great pair of glasses, has turned out to be one of my most frustrating and difficult online merchant purchases to date. Initially I stumbled across this website promising very good looking frame and lense prices, and did a little investigating into the company. Sure enough, there were a few complaints but, not anything more unusual than you would find on any similar web merchants. So, I figured what the heck, I'll give them a shot.

Well, that was well over a month now, and here I am sitting here typing this without my glasses I ordered. Why, is that you ask? Well, its like this. My original prescription that I ordered arrived like they promise on their site in 5-9 days after the email I received from them. They looked marvelous, except for the fact that in all my wonderlust over there great bargains I (yah i'm a schmuck) incorrectly entered the prescription information. Thats when all the fun started, that same day I sent the glasses back to the address they provide on their website.

After a few days of waiting and tracking the package myself I saw that it had arrived in New York so I thought I would contact them to be sure. (As, they had not contacted me yet upon receipt of said glasses like they promised!) Well the new I received was not good. She (someone named Sheryl) tried her best although in vain to help me figure out what the delay was. Ohhhh yeah, she helped out alright. She helped by sending the same reply to any question that I sent them and I quote "I have forwarded your concern to our labs and as they get back to me i will give you report as soon as possible." Well If I had a pair of glasses for everytime they told me that I would be set for the next 10 years I suppose.

Well in an attempt to make an even longer story short, I'll close with this. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY IF THERE IS EVEN A REMOTE CHANCE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. Despite having an online assistant and several contact numbers they are no help at all. Apparently there online assistants either have limited access to their information OR they just have limited information PERIOD. I hope this helps some poor schmuck like myself from being as frustrated and temporarily blind as I am.

Sorry but I just cant seem to help my self today. I wanted to share with you lovely internet browsers out there my most famous quote from GEG.com

And I quote on Jul 3rd, 2008:
Hi Sheryl,

Has your company not received my glasses that I returned yet? That's not good. Please let me know if they have been received as they show to have been delivered already?

And their reply on Jul 4th, 2008:
Dear *******

Our lab is located globally so it will take 4-5 days.
we'll give you update as we get any information.

Thanks

sorry I could'nt resist.......

Beware of globaleyeglasse, also doing business on ebay as "discount-eyeglasses". Once your money is received they may not take your calls or reply your e-mails. You may end up getting "deformed" glasees patched wih super glue and no apologie. Atleast that's my uncle's experience with them Don't be their next victim.
