"I bought these sunglasses with interchangeable lenses and prescription insert to replace older glasses I was wearing. I ended goggle-type glasses for riding in the dark and goggle sunglasses for daytime training. I did not want to spend a lot of money. I thought perhaps on online discount retailer might have good options.
I'm pleasantly surprised but would hesitate recommending this option for everyone. The glasses work but I've had issues with customer service.
I am not sure if I would go this route again. But...for $65 I now have 4 different lense options...and a prescription too!"hoffsquared
Ease of use
These are sunglasses. Easy on and easy off. Changing the lenses can be a hassle but I am only dealing with one pair of sunglasses rather than many.
Quality of Construction
So these are pretty cheap I'd say. I am not really sure how long they will last given the daily use they are getting. The glasses came with five sets of interchangeable lenses. The polarized ones don't stay in place and pop put. The other ones are fine but I am sure they will not last very long.
Fit
These fit nicely but would be really trouble for someone with a larger head. Luckily the online site does show what size they are so I ordered the right size.
Comfort
They seem ok but after an hour or so I can feeling them pressing against the side of my head. This is only if I am not wearing them over a headband.
Durability
I don't think these will last very long.
Value
I am saying that these are a good value since I essentially have 4 different pairs of prescription sunglasses for the price of one. I have yellow, blue, gray, and mirrored lenses to chose between. This made a big difference when I needed prescription goggle type glasses for cycling this winter in the dark.
Appearance
I think they look ok.
Customer Service
I called three times about getting the polarized lenses replaced. They said they would take care of it but never did.
Performance
So far I am pretty happy with the selection of lenses and how the glasses are working in general. Pleasantly surprised in fact. I like the fact that I can switch lenses depending on the weather.
Strengths
Just the price I think. I don't have to spend lots of $$ every few years to get the sunglasses/glasses I need for training and racing.
Weakness
They do feel like cheap glasses. I am going to see if the insert will fit in other glasses in the future.

Ease of installation
It is sometimes difficult to snap in the interchangeable lenses that came with the frame. Putting the prescription insert is no issue. But snapping in the lenses can be a bit tricky and I'm always a bit afraid I might damage the lense.
