Does PolorVision work with those thick plastic frames?

My dad has the big thick plastic ones and they didn’t fit his at all, the arms sat way too wide and they kept sliding off when he turned his head. Might depend on the exact frame shape though.

Mine fit over my thicker plastic frames without any pinching, which surprised me since I figured they’d feel tight. The lenses do sit a bit closer than I’d like but it hasn’t bugged me while driving.

The arms are what got me. Mine clamped down on the sides of my frames after about twenty minutes and I had to keep taking them off at red lights. Lens distance wasn’t the problem, the squeeze was.

I have a pair of those big rectangular plastic frames that I wear pretty much all day, and I’ve been using the PolorVision on top of them for about two months now during my commute. Here’s the thing nobody really mentions: it depends way more on the shape of your frames than the thickness. My old pair had a really tall lens area and the PolorVision sat kind of awkwardly, the top edge of my prescription lenses poked above the visor part. Switched to a slightly shorter frame shape and suddenly they fit fine.

The arms are snug but not in a way that bugs me. I actually like that they don’t budge when I turn my head to check blind spots. The one adjustment I made was just bending the arms out a tiny bit by hand, nothing drastic, and that took care of the pressure behind my ears. Took me maybe ten seconds.

What surprised me is that the whole thing doesn’t feel as bulky as I expected once it’s on. I forget I’m wearing two pairs most of the time. Night driving is where I really notice the difference, headlights don’t smear across my vision the way they used to.

So yeah, chunky frames can work, but it’s really about the height and curve of your specific pair more than how thick the plastic is. If yours are super wide or have a really rounded shape, that’s where I’d expect trouble.

They fit over my thick frames fine, no pinching at all. I wore them for a three hour drive last weekend and forgot they were even on. So the tight arms thing must depend on the specific frame shape.

I have a pair of thick plastic frames that are on the wider side and the fit was a bit of a mixed bag for me. They did go over the frames without needing to force anything, so no pinching on the sides really. My issue was more that the whole thing felt front heavy. The extra weight up there made them slide down my nose a little when I looked down at my dashboard. I ended up just pushing them back up every so often which was a little annoying but not a dealbreaker. They stayed put fine once I was just looking straight ahead at the road. I still use them on longer drives because the glare reduction is worth the minor hassle. If your frames are really thick front to back, that weight thing might be more noticeable. But they definitely fit over mine without any forcing.

Probably still pinches if your frames are really wide.

My dad has those big thick plastic frames and he uses mine whenever we carpool. No pinching at all, but he does have to push them up a bit before he starts driving because they creep down a little on the bridge of his nose. Still way better than nothing on those bright mornings.

Mine are big plastic frames too and I’ve been using these for like 3 months now with zero pinching. The arms have a bit of flex so they kind of just wrap around instead of squeezing. Honestly way better than I expected for the price.
