I couldn't be happier with my GC sunglasses.. I went for the Newport design. I am very impressed with the quality of not only the lens, but also the frames. So light, beautifully finished, and to think I have reincarnated a plastic bottle in the process! ;-) I'll definitely be ordering another pair for my reading glasses. Just need my health fund to stand up and take notice so I can claim them on my private health insurance (Yes, I'm looking at you Frank Insurance). Cheers!
I am so impressed with the whole process of choosing and ordering my glasses. I was sceptical that we would be able to achieve a satisfactory progressive lens using only my computer camera to measure pupil distance. But my vision is perfect in these new glasses. I also love the frames. Fun and funky and very light and comfortable. Now need to consider some of the accessories to jazz them up even more. Also customer service was very responsive. Highly recommend. Will definitely use again! Hoping they add even funkier styles and shapes in the future.

I bought a pair of sunglasses a few years back and recently needed to replace the lenses due to the polarise coating peeling - I wore these almost every day for about 4 years so very happy with the lifespan (other glasses I would have needed to replace the whole lot). I ordered lenses online and got an email shortly after double checking which frames I have. Turns out the lenses I ordered were for the new version and would not have fit. So they fixed up my order and sent me the correct lenses with a link to how to change them in the frames. They were shipped within a couple of days and within a week I had my new lenses making my glasses look like new again- reducing landfill. I’m so glad I found this local sustainable brand of sunnies - and they look great!
Thanks, Jenn. Over 3 years ago, we switched to Carl Zeiss Vision as our lens supplier, who arguably makes the world’s best lenses. So, you’ll have zero issues with these!
Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Been wearing Lemonade Newports for a while and wanted to change it up. The Clovelly Blue Yellow one-offs look great and are just as comfortable
Love the concept and the choices.
I'm planning on mixing and matching frames and arms .
Its an entirely new concept having to match your t shirts with your sunnies.
Ordered green prescription sunglasses. Great fast communication in dealing with an issue with my glasses script. Fun design too.
Normally I don’t do reviews/surveys. But in this case I really felt I had to. Not only are the glasses fabulous and lenses are quality but when the incorrect lens had been supplied they replaced without hesitation and arrived a couple of days later.
How refreshing to deal with an Australian company whose quality products are designed and made in Australia using recycled material. Then backed up with excellent customer service. Ticks all the boxes for me.
Highly recommend!
I recently purchased a second pair, in a different colour of the Newport Readers. I love them, the quality of the frames and the lenses are excellent.
Scored a one-off pair during January 2025 - my second pair of Good Citizens. The quality of the glasses is great, and I love the flexibility of changing out parts, and even repairs if needed. But a huge aspect for me is that they’re sunnies with purpose and making a difference.
My fourth and fifth pair of glasses - readers this time - previously sunnies. Extremely robust and attract a lot of comments.
They look this good and they’re doing good?! I’m in. Love love LOVE my green Newports and planning my next purchase. Prescription you say?! YEP!!
I found this product whilst searching for Zeiss lenses and can happily say I am one very happy customer. I bought two colours, lemonade and Aqua in the palm beach 2.0 shape. I have always worn sunnies in a similar style to this but these ones are truly amazing. They are lightweight, come in traditional and funky colours. Plus they have Carl Zeiss lenses. You honestly can’t go wrong.
Going for a brand I’d never heard of I was skeptical of spending over $100+ on a pair of sunglasses. However, I have absolutely LOVED these sunglasses, they’ve exceeded my expectations tenfold and I want to get a couple more pairs to have a couple more designs.
After my RayBan sunglasses broke I was searching for a new pair to get, GoodCitizens popped up for me and I almost couldn’t resist going for a pair that was made in Sydney and out of recycled bottles!
10/10 definitely recommend!
