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.
'Sides, darker lenses hide the scared ****less look in your eyes as
you pop back out of from under some submerged rock.
Just my two cents

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?
