AO Original Pilot Sunglasses - SkyMaster Glass Lenses

This was the real deal glass lens, straight bows for not obstructing hearing aids,, No color distortion and very clear visuals.

So far I have been completely satisfied with these glasses. I just had cataract surgery and no longer wear prescription glasses. I wanted something well made, and also wanted to buy American. So, they are 10x the cost of the China-made glasses. They feel sturdy and are just the right amount of tint. Unless I do something stupid, they should last a very long time. They are a comfortable as my old prescription glasses so they feel like what I am accustomed to having. They are darker than my old Transitions lenses which I like. My second choice was the Italian-made Ray Ban glasses that were about $75 cheaper. But it was worth it to me to buy something made in USA.

First off, I wanted to get a pair of aviators but not match everyone and their mother who owns RayBans, and these are a perfect fit. I have owned a pair of the polycarbonate lens version, and these are much better, the design and the quality of materials are noticeably better. They also have a finish on the back of the lens that your eyes look through that prevents glare and mirroring that is a really cool and effective feature. Even tho these have a heft so that you can tell the company used quality materials, they are very light on your face and I forget I'm wearing them half the time.

a great pair of glasses , classic design!!

Uno de los Cristales vino con una desagradable sorpresa. Un pequeña raya. Una pena, porque estaba muy ilusionado en que llegase todo bien

In 1968 I was issued sunglasses in Vietnam. I remembered the name of the glasses but never paid much attention to it. After one year service, I returned home with the same glasses and wore them for many years to come. Just like your favorite slippers, the glasses became a part of me. But unfortunately through time, the glasses became old, pitted glass lens, and a fit that was not the same. RIP American Optical, and off I went with different brands All nice glasses but something was missing, that old slipper fell of American Optical. For Fathers Day this year, my loving wife found them on Amazon, and I have been reunited with my best friend. The quality and clarity of American Optical in my opinion, is the best. Amazing how long they have been in business, and a real pleasure to see that "Made in the USA" marking. If you are looking for quality sunglasses with exceptional fit and finish, look no further than American Optical.

I really like the look and fit and had no issues for a month or so. They started getting loose on the hinge and the lenses scratched. (advertised scratch resistant) Overall I would buy them again if they were half the price. Certainly not worth $200++

Solid construction. Very happy. Basically I look like I am Top Gun now.
