Drawbacks I have experienced are probably not product related but something those of us with RX needs can't avoid. It's just a fact of life.

They require some force and exact alignment of the locking mechanism. Aggravation is having clean lenses, finally snapping them into place only to realize that in the process the inside of the protective lenses get smudged.

Seems like I will be on the fireline going thru the long process of removing lenses and clea...
