Bifocal Polarized Sunglasses

texrigs · April 15, 2007, 08:29:19 PM

If anyone is like me and has to have bifocals, I found a pair of polarized sunglasses from ONO that go to +2.50 on the power of the bifocal. The rest of the lens has no power. I ordered them from LL Bean. They were about $90.00 including shipping.

I got a cool pair of wrap arounds with bi-focals in them, in the fishing dept. at Wal-Mart and they work awesome, been using them now for 4 months... oh, and they were only $6.88! I'm sure your $90 one's will work great too!

And you can bet those $ 6.99 are doing more damage to your eyes than you will know for a few more years

I broke down and paid about $250.00 this year for a pair of prescription bifocal polarized fishing glasses. Yes, it`s a lot of money, but they are great driving glasses also and I can even see my line now. I absolutly love them.

Have you tried any Costas?

I found a pair of Costa del Mar that have the side shields on them that will fit over my bifocal prescription glasses and work great. I can still see good and have the advantage of Polarized glasses also.

Have you tried the stick on Bifocals? One of my partners has them on his Ocean Waves and they seem to work great for him. Alot cheaper than buying perscription sunglasses!

I bought a pair of Costa del Mar Fathoms in Amber with the 2.50 (also came in 1.75 and 2.0) reading bifocal lens and they are the best fishing glasses I ever owned. This is my second pair of Costa del Mars. I can tie knots and clear backlashes in low light now without having to switch to my reading glasses.
