Yes, jdmidwest. My son does not like to wear glasses either. I read for so long here about them. To choose the best option. As a result, I use them myself. How did people ever catch riba without them? With them it is much more convenient and practical. What is your model?

Followed that link. Funny, never heard of the website or most of the brands listed. I would suggest you look to sunglasses discussions on this forum from real guys who fish. No telling what that site is motivated by.

Mine are prescription.  My Grandson gets Wally's cheapest polarized since he gets some every trip.

If I did not need a prescription to see, a good pair of polycarbonate polarized ones would be on my head with ballistic properties and wrap around lenses

        I also need prescription, trifocals even. I have had two pair of prescription sunglasses. For some reason they both have messed with my depth perception  and another thing it magnifies. The depth thing is it makes my casts look further and when looking to step off a bank into the water it looks along ways down. I remove them and see it is a short step but with them off that step is blurry. Seems I cannot win. With my clear normal glasses even with the trifocals all is normal looking,

When I take my shades off in the evening my next 10 or so casts will be short.  Things look closer than they are without them.  It takes an adjustment.

Yeah,  not all prescriptions are created equal.

I have bought my grandson 3 pairs of sunglasses this year, I make him wear them at all times while fishing.  He keeps taking them home and leaving them there.  Never around when we go fishing.

You need to up the reaction time with your reflexes, toss your arm up to deflect the lure.  That will result in an easier to remove hook from the arm.  Unless it hits a ligament or tendon like a Rapala stick bait did me many years ago.  Had to push it thru tough and then cut off to release.

Snapped a small tungsten jig head off a snag a couple of months ago, came back to me so fast I didn't see it, no time to react.  Hit my sunglasses right near the edge, bounced off with no damage, I got lucky.

Those Prescription Shades made by the same optician as your regular glasses?

          Our office in small town we use sends out the prescriptions to be done. Not sure if all is done in the same place. I will do further investigation when I get eyes checked next go around. If our eyes do not change we usually opt for clear lenses and then shades every couple of years.,

One thing that might mess with your depth perception with prescription sunglasses compared to your regular glasses, is that if the sunglasses are wrap-around, the lenses that curve a bit around your head, while your regular glasses are more straight across, it will make a significant difference.  I once had a pair of prescription sports goggles that wrapped around my face, and there was no way I could shoot a basketball with those things.

I was wondering if it was the lines in the polarization, I wear the progressive lens and recently bought some polarized clip ons that mess with my walking on banks and rocks, but in the past had scripts made polarized & progressive that worked fine at the time. The Strike Kings with the bifocal magnifier doesn't mess me up too bad, if I remember  to move my head and not my eyes.
