WBC,

I’m in the process of evaluating what type of prescription sunglasses or sport sunglasses to purchase. I would like to purchase a pair for sight fishing and other fishing (weather related) conditions. Can you provide suggestions?

P.S. I have a few days off during Christmas break, if anyone is going fishing with an available backseat I would like to go with you.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Ernest Marry Christmas back at ya.

I have awful eyesight and need prescription sun glasses, I have a couple of different pairs my favorite - Ray ban’s with gray lenses but I also have some called Liberty Sport with brown. The best advise I can give you is go to a place that will let you take there polarized sample lenses outside and make sure you go on a sunny day. I bought into the whole sunny cloudy different color lenses thing NOT TRUE. Get whatever makes your eyes comfortable I’m sure if I would have bought darker lenses the Liberty Sport ones would be as good as the Ray ban’s and they are vary inexpensive at Wal-Mart.

If you are just looking for reader and not distance, ONO has sunglasses for us who cannot hit the hole. Also, I was told by my eye doctor that the wrap around sunglass cannot be used for prescription sunglasses because it distorts the prescription??? I really have know idea, just passing it along.

I also need to get a pair.

I do not know about the prescription end of that deal as I am lucky enough to have good vision still. But as far as sport glasses go I use Natives. They are super light weight and have excellent polarization. They come with two sets of lenses, a dark set, and a set for low light. The lenses are easy to change and I can change them out in less than a minute. I turned Russel Baker on to them after I got mine and he uses them too. I have them on in the picture I have here for my profile. They have been key in sight fishing for me.
