Are the " smoke " lens frames curved like the picture shows or are they straight like the picture of the " clear " lens version ?

Sorry I was confused with something else. These safety glasses work fine for me.

The frames are black. The lenses have an "ombré" effect with the top being the darkest and ever so slightly lighter towards the bottom of the lens.

they are all clear. The darkness you see in the pic is the frame being visible thru the glass. Not sure why the darkness is so pronounced in the pic but in person it is not a factor.

Just the picture. They were the clear glass lens with the typical chrome insides. Didn't even know they have a "special coating" on em.

They are dark smoke but not quite black. Like a heavily darkened car window that you can still see through.

Hello, I recall seeing something that led to some confusion too, but I trusted the description and it turned out ok. I think this seller has bent straws for sale too, so they must have accidentally uploaded the same stock photos for both options or something.. Anyway, I got straight straws!

I love the lens, only issue is on some pictures there's a slight bend to straight lines in the picture. This is the only lens I use now.

I haven't noticed any. Since its pretty good quality glass the direct view is distortion free for the whole lens. When I got this question I started playing with it and found no real distortion looking through at a angles up to 30 degrees and past the edge of the lens.

This is straight. Angled look like this... http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Fieldscope-60mm-Spotting-Scope/dp/B000PK3S4A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_6

Yes they are curved. Straight ones are also available. They attached via 4 springs on the bottom that are adjustable for step depth via different holes. Easy install and after a year they wear well.

These are real glass high quality sunglasses. The "rear view " aspect has to do with the shape of the glasses, and a small section of the user facing section of the lenses that are mirrored. The shape of the glasses are more flat than lets say wrap around shades you can buy from a tourist shop, which is something not easy to see from the photos. But they are classic aviator shape, and don't scream novelty/trick sunglasses at all. The mirrored portion of the inside lens can still be seen through. Overall I definitely recommend. Lenses are glass so keep that in mind.

The ones I bought are smoked and they match my tinted windows. They fit and look awesome.

The lense is clear, the backing is black. They look pretty sharp and with good bulbs are brighter than stock. They are a lot easier to install than the ones that are one piece (headlight and parking light together)

They are straight UP! Wanted them for navigation lights on my boat. Was a waste of my money and the lens did not fit over them. No place to return them too.

They are supposed to be clear but the lens is made of cheap cloudy plastic. I wasn't pleased with them. They are not sunglasses. If you're looking for glasses ebay sells nice ones for American Girl type dolls. I bought a clearish purple from there during the same time I bought these and you could really tell the difference in quality.

The set that I got came with a smoked lens pre-installed, as well as a set of yellow-tinted and clear lenses. Perhaps the manufacturer started including these after Rick T. and Danny Perez got their's (their comments dated February 2014, and me having received mine June 2014).

Its smoked/translucent as in the picture. If you look closely there appears to be a camera lens within.
