i've never worn sunglasses when I fish. is that odd?

very odd, your missing out, Ive got so used to wearing sunglasses I can barely go outside without wearing them much less go fishing.

easily the best sunglasses i've owned by a MILLION miles. comfortable, not insanely dark, but removes -ALL- glare. somehow, i still don't get how they do
it. but they're the badassest evarrr.

I am an Optometrist, and we do Rx's in almost all sunglasses as long as they will take a prescription.

We specialize in doing Costas. You all are somewhat correct Costa doesn't have their own lab for RX sunglasses but you can get their lenses in an RX with the exception of the Wave 580s. Maui Jim has their own lab and make all of their lenses themselves and don't allow for some of the customization that other sunglass manufactuers allow for. However they make a very nice lens, and they are proud of them.

I hope that kind of awnsers some of your questions?

I am working on getting online frames on the website, but at this time I don't have any for you to look at online. I can get just about anything for you though.

i had an Rx with some oakley fives squared frames. i also loved the hell outta those too.

Whichever Costa's fit your face with 560 lenses.

If you want the best you gotta go with costas

Mine: Fathom 580 Blue Lens

if you are running on a tight budget or dont want to drop more than a cool hunny on a pair, go with the Sea Striker line from Bass pro. bout 30 bucks a pair and great clarity. I like the gray lenses but the blue are nice too.

j, just checked you out... what website would you reccomend to shop for stuff that will take perscription numbers over the phone, online, etc.. Or, does that need or have to be done through Opt.?

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. I am very leary of doing glasses over the net and that's not because I sell them. Especially with "wrap" sunglasses a lot of measurments need to be taken to get them just right where you don't have problems with abberation. Also depending upon what your RX is some RX's I just don't reccomend for wrap sunglasses as they will just not work. You will feel like you are looking through a fish bowl and everything is "off". Drop me a line through the website if you have more questions I'll be happy to try and help you anyway I can. Also I know docs all over the state depending upon where you are I may be able to point you in the right direction.
