I will repeat a statement from my cousins wife who is a renown optometrist and optometry school professor. "Costa's are the most optically correct polarized lenses for the human eye that are for sale in the market."

I've always been a Costa guy myself, hearing that just convinced me never to look anywhere else again.


I say we fish 5 days a week and work 2.

I read the Costa "580" the glass lenses are better vision than the plastic? Thanks for all the reply's!

I have three pair of Costas, my wife has a pair of Oakeys. When we are fishing she is always grabbing my Costas that I have in my truck for driving. She had her eyes burned some with her Oakleys at the coast two years ago and my Eyes with my Costas at the same time were fine. She thus now uses her Oakleys for driving n my driving Costas for fishing. I guess it's all which ones you prefer.

If you want to try Costa, go here & save a lot of $. Not every lens or every frame since they are a liquidator. But check often as stock changes weekly. My last 580G's were $98.00 so try here before spending the big bucks. They also have Oakley, Kaenon, Smith & other sunglasses.

Yep^^^ if you haven't seen the new Prizm tech you need to check it out. Plus you get all of the actual protection to your eyes that glass will never provide.


I've got the shallow blue, gold iridium polarized and the titanium iridium polarized. So you are saying this prizm is better than any of these?

Costa all day. Super comfortable and the lense combinations are endless.

In my opinion, yes.

I can see better under water with my naked eye versus wearing sunglasses.

I've had both. I won't ever buy another pair of Oakleys. It's hard to beat the 580 glass lenses from Costa.

What are your opinions as far as the best color lens to go with? General sunny to overcast days. I'm not getting a pair of sunglasses for every weather condition. Hell there are already too many rod types for each individual lure. LOL.
