I've decided to buy a pair of prescription bi-focal polaroids after years of
considering same ( I now use script 'roids and cheater glasses ).


A couple "your opinion" questions.

I'm thinking Action Optics ... any comments, good or bad, ...who might be
better?

color? I've always used neutral gray ( changing density ) with good
result, but I notice a lot of anglers with tan or yellow lens. The yellow
I've tried, ok for last light but too damn bright most of the time ... the
tan? I fish mainly flat water, spring creeks and meadow streams, and
love seeing my prey ... best color in you experience?

I have Action Optics prescription bifocals in what they call Copper.
I'd called it Amber. I like them well enough and I thought they were
the bees knees until I tried on a pair of Ocean Waves. Whoa. They're
expensive as hell but Ocean Waves makes a damn good lens, better than
Action Optics in my opinion. If I ever need to replace my current
glasses I'll replace them with Ocean Waves.

I like the Amber colored lenses, they're better in the lower light
conditions I usually encounter.

I second the amber color. In amoung the hemlocks, they do well.

you know, frank, i have often wondered what material you utilize to
secure your glasses to your person. i have speculated on natural horse
glue, leather straps left over from a recent execution, a series of welds,
twenty pound magnets---certainly there is an interesting construct involved.
can you help me?

I used Action optics for year and they were decent but I found that the Maui
Jim's and the Varilux lenses were even better. Varilux lenses aren't cheap
and you have to get them from an optician but they were worth the price and
I wore them for several years. Still do as a backup
since I now use bifocal contacts and use off the shelf non prescription
glasses.

I think a good color choice between the gray and yellow lenses would be the
brown. Almost as good as the gray in bright light but pretty darn good in
low light too. If you do consider the yellow then you might want to check
out the new rose colored lenses some are offering. I switched to them for
shooting sports and had to use them in a pinch last fall on stream and they
are much better than my old yellow ones.
