They work perfectly as described, polychromatic lenses are so cool!!
I’ve never really got on with any glasses, but these are really comfortable. As they say it takes about 3 rides to get used to the rear view mirror - once done though, it is excellent.
First time out rowing my single wearing my new TRieye glasses.Didnt have to turn my head around once to check for buoys, the glasses are extremely comfortable and make rowing so much more enjoyable.
I saw the TriEye glasses on line, with the left eye mirror, and felt it could work. I purchased them and once getting used to them, they are fabulous! I have been looking for a method to see what was coming at me from the rear, for me, these are the answer!! They are SOO much better than a mirror attached to the bike, which can get broken off if the handlebars make contact with the ground.
They work best during the daylight, and I have even tried to use them while riding after dusk.
I have asked myself on more than one occasion, since purchasing them while riding, why didn't I do this much much earlier.
Once you get used to them, you won't ride without them.

Excellent product.Do exactly what is supposed to do
Ive been using Trieyes for years now. With the addition of the prescription lense insert i was able to add my personal prescription including a bifocal to my trieye sunglasses.
Huge at my age of 67. I can see great, easily read my cycling computer with the bifocal, sun and wind eye protection, and the rear view mirror.
73 mile ride last weekend, 60 this weekend and couldn't be happier with my overall riding glasses package.
Thank you Matt, this is great to hear.
The bifocal bit especially. It's one of the things people ask us about most, and having a rider confirm it works — bifocal, cycling computer and all — is worth more than anything we could say ourselves.
73 miles and then 60 the weekend after. Enjoy the autumn riding.

Fabulous glasses, what can I say, they make your ride so much better giving you a third eye advantage of being able to see whats coming up behind you much the same way as your cars wing mirrors do.
Highly recommended
Thank you! The wing mirror comparison is exactly the one we use ourselves — same glance, same instinct, just on a bike instead.
Glad they're making the rides better. Enjoy them.

I’ve been riding with a clip on mirror for many years. Even though I have a radar, the radarjust doesn’t give enough info on where a car is and if it is moving over to pass.
While the clip on got the job done, it wasn’t without issues. The mirror, hanging so far out on the end of its boom arm, constantly vibrated which blurred the objects in view. Sweat and humidity would make the clip on slip from the glasses, requiring constant adjustment on my rides.
Not so with TriEye. The mirror is rock solid. Once it’s adjusted, it stays put, meaning everything in view is crystal clear. No more vibrating, and no more fiddling with the mirror. And the lens optics are as good as any I’ve ever used! I wish I had these long ago. They would have saved me years of frustration.
Hi David, we're thrilled to hear that The View has become your favorite ride accessory! It's great to know it’s making your rides more enjoyable and frustration-free. Thanks for sharing your detailed experience — it really helps others see the benefits of our design. Happy riding!Thank you David, this is a great write-up.
The vibration point is the one we hear most from people coming off boom-arm mirrors. A mirror on the end of an arm is essentially a tuning fork — the further out it sits, the worse it gets. Building it into the lens was the only way to kill that.
And you've put your finger on something about radar too. It tells you something is there, not where it is or what it's doing. The two together cover each other's blind spots.
Glad it's sorted after all those years. Enjoy the riding.

Well constructed.Fit securely on my glasses. Rearview mirror stays put, gives an excellent view. I can use my prescription glasses, save money in the long run. Would buy again!
For your safety you must buy this sunglasses even if you’re using a garmin varia sensor. It is worth to buy.
Once you dial in the mirrors and look correctly these shades are fantastic. With radar, you are covered. Watch a quick video to adjust the mirror and get some guidance on how to move your head. Every person riding on a road shouldn't grab a pair.
I love the fact that with a slight turn of my head I can see what’s coming behind me as I ride. Wouldn’t ride without them.
Finally getting used to my new glasses. When you look in the mirror they are crystal clear. No more turning around the sea. If anything's coming, I love that.
Much more stable view than a separate mirror attached to the eyewear. Would like to see “reader” lenses offered.
Two out of the three pairs of TriEye had failed with the mirror housing falling out because of a small corner piece of plastic had broken off in the exact same spot on both pair. I emailed Camilla with my issue along with a picture and immediately heard back with a soloution that worked for me. My suggestion for a fix if anyone else is having an issue would be to lay a small bead of glue in the track that the mirror housing fits into the lense, problem solved. Thanks again Camilla…Great product, wouldn’t ride without it.
Hi Ron, thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words — they mean a lot to us.
We're sorry it happened at all. Honestly, we can't explain why it went the way it did on two pairs, but whatever the cause, we'll always put it right.
Glad we could help, and glad to hear the new lenses are doing their job. Safe riding!
Best regards,
Camilla
No contest with other solutions. No fiddling around with attachments to glasses for rear view mirror. Superior!
These glasses are excellent. Priced right and good quality. I feel a lot safer being able to see approaching vehicles behind me
I use my Garmin Radar but it’s just smart to always have a quick look back without having to turn your head!!
I knew these were a good idea when i saw the first video advertisement. I bought a pair of the view photochromatic, and got to test them on a ride yesterday. They work every bit as well as I hoped when I ordered them. With minor movements of your head you can sweep the entire area behind you. I'm so glad to have these and don't have to deal with rickety mirrors mounted elsewhere like i have for years.
Definitely improves rear visibility and easier to adjust on the move.
Sceptical at first, pleasantly surprised
I ordered the TriEye Photochromic Smoke 0–3 glasses in white with the right-hand mirror, unsure whether they’d be awkward to use or just a bit of a gimmick.
I’m pleased to say they’ve surprised me. The mirror is much easier to use than I expected, and the glasses are genuinely practical. They might look a little strange to other people, but I’m happy to live with that for something that works!
Overall, a purchase I was doubtful about but am very glad I made.
Lens is good.
Mirror better than other types I’ve tried.
Easy to use.
Good product. Worth the cost.
