Review: Facefuls of concrete and brick were no match for these - I wore these constantly over the summer while doing yard work and clean up. My most memorable time is wearing these over the course of these days of power washing my brick deck and walkways. Attached picture is courtesy of my wife, you can see the glasses fit well. You can also see the amount of gunk on the Tyvek suit. For those of you that don't know, cleaning brick with a power washer is not hard, it's just boring and really messy. If you hit the cracks head on, you may break the seal or if you hit a crack where the concrete has already deteriorated, you will send stuff flying up at your face. your head will be mostly pointed down intently watching the grime being washed away, so every time this happens, you will get a faceful of junk and loose particles of concrete and brick. These things saved my eyes multiple times. They stayed clear and did not fog up like goggles tend to, although not as airtight, the ridges surrounding give more than adequate protection. They stayed in my face while I constantly had my face tilted down. They fold for easy storage on the tray on top of my toolbox reminding me to think about whether or not I should put these on every time I grab a tool. BTW for those of you who are wondering, you can easily full the cracks/dramas back in with pavers sand to have the brick looking brand new.
Review: big glasses / MEDICAL USE!! great option - if you’re like me and have hospital clinicals and find yourself having big glasses this is THE PERFECT option. i was not paid to say this, no incentive, only just from pure joy that i can finally wear protective gear with my glasses. all my other goggles are too small / tight and don’t fit well on my face due to my glasses. this is a god send. im so happy i found these and they don’t seem to fog with a mask (wearing a hospital grade mask too) unsure about higher up grades of masks. (also a comparison photo for size - doesn’t do it justice tho) perfect size, fits big glasses, doesn’t seem to fog (just wore for a few min) and is easily cleanable with alcohol pads / wipes for medical use! great option!! will be wearing these all the time

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these effectively block blue light from computers/tabs so that melatonin production isn't disturbed?**
A: I believe you are asking what wavelengths of light does this reflect.
According to the Chronobiol Int. 2001 paper 470, 495 and 525 nm light can disrupt melatonin production. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11763987

So the question is, what is the absorption spectrum for these glasses? I don't have a spectrophotometer handy but the manufacturer/ retailer might.
Cheers

**Q: Can these glasses be sterile wiped?**
A: These glasses are made of sturdy clear plastic. I sure they can be sterile wiped. They are easily cleaned with soap and water.

**Q: Can these be used with or without other glasses?**
A: They fit over most prescription glasses. So yes, you should be able to use them with other glasses.

**Q: Are the glasses embossed with the mark "ansi z87+" (high impact) or just "ansi z87" (basic impact)? is it marked z87 at all?**
A: Mine are embossed with z87+. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Fit Mostly but Arm Adjustment is Too Loose
*by S***N on August 4, 2021*

These are comfortable and I like that the arms adjust vertically. If you don't have a bulging forehead or eyes sunk into your scull these can adjust and fit the best for me. Almost as good as a pair of goggles. Top part still has a tiny bit of space. Packaging is lacking. It just came in the Amazon box along with my other order openly. No separate box bag plastic wrap nothing. A few minor scratches. Most of it rubbed off. Despite how it came the fitment is good enough that I would purchase these again along with the price. The only thing preventing this from being 5star is the adjustment on the arms don't lock in place very well. It's to loose. Every time you take them off they move so when you put them on you have to adjust. Not that big of a deal but its annoying. But these are the best fitting for me so this will be my go to. Hopefully they will make the arm adjustment a little tighter and at least put it in some kind of bag to protect the lens to avoid scratches during delivery. We'll see how long the arms last purchased 3 of these.😉👍
