I need glasses for reading only, but I had a pair made
up with plain glass and a low-cut reading bifocal on the
bottom for gray day and night fishing. I did that after the
very first time I tried to cast a 2/0 clouser.

The risk is very real......and obvious. Oddly enough, I've never known nor
even heard of anyone taking a shot to the eye, as far as I recall. Anybody
else?
