If yours also claim to be manufactured by American Paper Optics, as the pair in the parent comment claim to be, the (real) manufacturer has some information to help determine if they're counterfeit:

See the photo at the very bottom of the page for an illustration of the (very minor) differences.

Hey, I got some from APO directly -- I can still see my new, high wattage kitchen light thru them. This shouldn't be possible, right?

The sun still hurts my eyes if I look close to it so.. looks like I'm out of luck.
