Is this one of those fifty shades of grey cinversations? Last I paid to hve aset of reverse bi-focal lenses made in dark amber. best investment of 2012 . Am able to use lower portion of glasses for distance and top for up close work worth every penny!

I fish the Smith Mavericks with amber glass lenses. Expensive but worth every penny.

Not to sound like a wimp but my eyes tire easily in the sun causing fatigue and sometimes headaches, so any help is much needed. I have not noticed this since I purchased the amber glass lenses.

My previous pair of glasses were smoke, which just didn't do the trick.

I still have to carry a set of bi-focals in my pack which can be cumbersome at times but I guess that comes with age.

Anyone have suggestions for good lenses that go over Rx glasses? I haven't been able to find any good, comfortable, polarized glasses that can either clip on or fit over my regular glasses.

I have to agree amber is great especially when you get into the shade on small heavily wooded streams.

I current glasses are copper and I've been happy with them. Never really experimented with different colors but my last pair was yellow and I didn't mind when I lost them. Maybe I'll try amber next and see if they work better for me.
Also do you guys really "see" a difference in high end glasses as apposed to the lower end brands? not talking weight or construction material just sight. I have a pair of Berkley glasses that cost me $30 and I swear I can see better out of those then my buddy's who spent like $150(don't remember the brand) (both are copper toned)

treelimit, I have tried bifocal's but they distort the lower half of your vision making it difficult to walk on rocks. You just can't see where you will plant your foot next.

I have tried the flip down lenses with a light which attach to the bill of your cap. They are okay but I do not always wear ball caps.

The best I have found are the $1.99 pair of reading glasses tucked into an easy to reach pocket.

I had gray lenses in my first pair of prescription sunglasses (nice, face hugging serengeti frames - still using them several years on), but when I got new lenses I switched to brown. Gray is definitely superior in the bright, bright part of the day, but brown has made my sunglasses useful early and late in the day, when they are the most important for fishing.

Smith Polarchromic polarized copper lenses are what I would use if I had to have one pair for a year. They adjust to light conditions well and work the best for overcast and bright days. The Amber i feel are too bright for me on the really sunny days. With a hat and copper lenses on sunny days and same for cloudy it works the best. Hands down.

fishing in Wisconsin you can only see down 3 1/2 feet in the water because it's so dirty so these glasses are pointless, if the water was clearer then i would buy them

Ahh, I missed this one! I have vermillion lenses on my Costa del Mar Swordfish (absolutely love them). My daughter broke one of the sides off so now I have an elastic band that keeps them on my head lol. I need a new pair. I like the vermillion color (almost brown) for high sunny days, but cloudy days or under foliage it is tough to see and I might go for a lighter color lens. I think 2 would be better than 1 because of the drastic change in light between mid-day bass fishing and early morning small stream trout fishing.
