Contacts and cheap calcuttas. I’ve never had good experiences buying expensive prescriptions because they get destroyed every time I’m on the water.

I have a pair of Maui Jim’s. They’re wonderful but expensive.

I only got the prescription for my astigmatism on them and not my progressive lens.

I have a pair of smiths, I'm getting new lenses for them this July and will probably get a 2nd pair of another brand.

For fishing I use contacts and Costas but I wanted a cheap pair of prescription polarized shades I could leave in the car for driving and ordered them from Zenni. If you don’t want to spend a ton they’re a solid option.

Otherwise just find a pair of sunglasses you like and order them with a prescription.

Couldn't recommend Costas anymore than I already do. I saw one of their emails they even had a sale on their rx 580g glasses

Breakline! Alabama company.
I’m on year 6 and I love them.
Clear vision. Mirror finish options. Polarized. Owners are fisherman and customer service is awesome. Awesome warranty too. Best in the game.

Zeiss lenses
Italian frames.

You won’t regret it.

Not doubting you but I just went to their website and punched in some information...with a sale price on progressive lenses...was $713.

Ouch.

I don’t believe you can get glass lenses w/ prescription directly through Costa. I’m going through the same search, can’t wear contacts and I’d like a sunglass option.

I get Wiley X through work and have no complaints . You can use your prescription to order at any dealer . We use Ashley’s optical in Baker.

I picked out titanium frames at Lens Crafters when filling my prescription. I had one of the pair polarized their super dark had them 5/6 years probably more still going strong.

Zeiss lenses


They look like a solid choice but I see nothing on their website about Zeiss. I'd be surprised if Zeiss messes with anything but glass.
