Hi -- I'm looking to buy (relatively) inexpensive prescription
polarized glasses. If possible.

I know that "prescription polarized" and "inexpensive" are basically
oxymorons. But after much testing, it really seems like I'm going to
need two sets of glasses -- one for most of the day (brown or copper
lenses), and one for that crucial final hour or two (yellow or amber
lenses - when my vision is worst, because of the low light).

Photochromic helps, but even so, the lighter end of the scale on the
brown/coppers still seems to be pretty dark.


If you go to an optician, they might tell you that there are no such things
as photochromic polarized lenses. I've had this happen when I've asked my
OD for a written prescription so I could get sunglasses, and his optician
tried to get my business.

Action Optics run about ~$200 a pair for prescription. I've seen
others for more. Anyone seen / used any that were less expensive?

Thanks, Tim



I absolutely love my Action Optics. I have a glass version in Copper, and
wouldn't trade them for the world. Here's a suggestion. Get the copper
AO, and for dusk, get a $40 pair of amber fitovers (www.fitovers.com) to
wear with your normal glasses.
