Just wondering if anybody out there has found a good source to get presription polarized glasses. I have been looking around and really can't seem to find anything other than readers. I would really like to get a pair that actually had my prescription in them. Any help out there? thanks Bill
Wiley x by me west side of michigan. check out local eyeglass place.
Some optometrists now do this if you ask. I ordered some Costas online in the past but now they have 'certified' local optometrist offices that can provide Costas in prescription versions.
Try looking up the website of your favorite brand and see if they have a Rx dealer locater service like the one Costa Del Mar has.

I have prescription sunglasses from my optometrist.
I've had several different pairs over the years.
The pair I have now are wrap around Nike frames, amber glass, polarized, and they are the prescription lenses that have the no line bifocal in them.
I love em. I can see to tie knots, and I can see underwater pretty good in most light conditions.
I've had the grey tint before, but this amber color is better under a greater range of conditions.
I bought a pair from www.39dollarglasses.com. Of course they weren't $39. But they are no line Bi-focals and Amber Polycarbonate lenses. Work pretty good.
My last few pairs of glasses that I have purchased have been transition lenses. They actually work pretty good. I also have a pair of glasses that are transition lenses but also have a clip on sunglasses. They were rather expensive but for a guy who is blind without glasses and also has to have bi-focals, transitions have worked just fine. I also do have a pair of fitover sunglasses. I like those a lot too. Your eyes are important so spare no expense when it comes to glasses. I have worn glasses just about all my life. I found I need them when I had been fishing and boating with my Aunt and Uncle and couldn't see any buoys at a distance. So fishing and boating have been in my life for a better part of it. Take care of your eyes. The most important of all of the human senses.

Take it from a guy who knows. You really need to protect your eyes from damaging UV rays. I've had several procedures on my left eye. Almost each one left the eye a little worse off than the last one.
I am going for an exam Thursday night and will be getting presc fishing glasses within the next couple of weeks. My regular glasses are transitions and I love them but are not really good for fishing.
I have used prescription sunglasses over the years and they work well. One of the problems is having to get new ones every time the prescription changes. It is expensive. I have been using Cocoons over my regular glasses and they are quite comfortable and reasonably priced.
