Fantastic fit and look. Very comfortable

I ordered online; progressive lenses. The turnaround was very quick, the lens and frame quality is excellent. My first pair of Smith’s, I would buy again in the future.
Dawson H
I absolutely love the fit, style, comfort, look, and blue light; however, I was surprised and disappointed to see that they arrived damaged. They were scratched and almost dented, and the arms were extremely loose. I
Andy
The build quality is impressively sturdy, and the fit is spot on. I measured using my favorite pair of glasses as a reference. which made them fit perfectly for me. Knowing your measurements really makes a difference in getting a great . online photo looks more teal, whereas the actual product is navy dark blue warning about that the colorway may be a bit off. Do research before ordering.

Perfect glasses. Light. Great size.

Great
Jack S
I really enjoy these glasses. The lenses are clear and correct. The styling is very classic and easy to wear. My only issue is the tendency to slide down the nose after extended wear. I am happy with the purchase and will continue to wear them daily.
Joshua K
The team was very helpful and responded quickly. Very satisfied and love the new glasses!
Chuck K
I purchased these to replace some prescription glasses from another major brand. These are head and shoulders above my previous glasses. They’re comfortable, well priced, and solid. Plus, Smith had them ready and delivered to me with lightning speed. First class customer service from Smith.
Guy P
I ordered prescription glasses from Smith and they are great . Lenses are really clear . The only thing I don’t love is how they fit and I may have gone with another frame if I could find somewhere to try them on first .
Lars A
Fits like the sunglasses and the metal frame is a nice touch for the RX version of the glasses.
John P
Fit well, stylish, and excellent lab work
Thomas C
These are my second set, unfortunately my first set was smashed and destroyed. They fit, they stay on, the lenses get dark when the sun is out and quickly get clear when I come inside. I really like them. I also like that the review asks which age range you identify with... 46 going on 20. Seeing better sure helps with getting out and being active!
Ryan J
Loving the Lowdown Rx! Looks great, fits great, and loving the grips to prevent them from sliding down

They were the wrong color but seemed to be a nice quality. I was able to return them with excellent customer service so thanks for that.
Brandon E
Same great Lowdown frames you love with prescription options. Wear these everyday, on the trail, at the office, biking, skiing they are up to the challenge.
Devin P
These glasses look good and do their job. If you work in front of a screen all day, I suggest getting the blue lens treatment.
Lynda M
Really nice frames that fit my small face.
Robert M
I purchased these glasses for everyday because I have always been happy with my prescription sunglasses I got from Smith and I am equally pleased with these.
Louie H
This are some good looking lenses and light, comfortable on the face
David S
Love em. Speedy and efficient service and delivery. Great price. The closest competitor was almost double the price
Jesse C
Same timeless lowdown design, in a prescription. The steel temples add a little extra sophistication and I've had multiple comments and inquiries about them.
Neal C
I'm very happy with the build quality, the temples are very secure, the lenses are crystal clear. I've gotten several complements on the style as well.
Jeff S
I bought two pairs of glasses. One for $500 and Smith's. I don't think I've even touched the other pair of glasses after getting Smith Frames. Love it. No negatives so far. Solid pair of glasses. Good design.
Anderson K
These are good looking and fitting glasses. Just know that the blue is much darker that it looks on the website. More like a transparent navy blue than the lighter blue in the images.
Cory J
I really like the coverage on these frames, but as others have noted the color (Mediterranean) is more of a dark navy and the fit on my large head/face is very odd: the glasses only make contact behind my ears and the arms form a halo from lens to the back of my ears. That said, once I adjusted the fit, I’ve been pretty content with them. Would get a pair of Roams instead if I did it over again (I own 4 pairs of Smith Rx frames).
Mark P
Love the glasses. I am a die hard Smith fan. And these do not disappoint. Thank you!!!
