got a pr. thru the va in progressive lens, blue mirror glass, easily as good as my costas and a lot cheaper. wish I had got the single view lens tho, the bottom drives me nuts. I think they cost about 250.00 all in, if ya have access to the va check there.

won the gift card for guessing weight from basschamps, got a pr. of single view blue mirror amphibias but still had to lay out about 250.00 on top of the 200 gift card. was worth it I think but they are plastic lenses.

Maui Jim prescription shades are the best I’ve owned.

Check out Shady Rays..... I've been wearing for a few months. They are sturdy, well made and stylish. Great customer service, and fast. Progressive bifocals for me.

I have a pair of prescription Costa with progressive lenses. Very pricey but I love them.

I own 1 pair of authentic Maui Jim prescription sunglasses and 2 pair of authentic Costas and wouldn't buy anything else! Yes very expensive but worth it. Prescription authentic Maui's will run between $600 and $800 for single vision and I got glass lenses for both Costas and they were around $550 with my own frame I believe for each set.

Good lord, paying $800 for prescription polarized sunglasses is insanity.

I got some prescription polarized Oakleys recently and I got a headache and nauseous the first time I wore them. I am a 99% of the time contact wearer and bought these to wear my glasses more and still be able to put sunglasses on. Jury is still out on whether I am going to get used to them or not.

I have Maui Jim progressive lens. Crazy expensive but it sure is nice to see everything. Up close and far away.

I need some for sure but they are too far out of my budget, I just have to deal with wearing my Costa's for now. It sucks but i've managed to make it work.

Those with the costas did you go glass or plastic lenses? I’m concerned about scratch resistance with the plastic.

Been thinking about getting prescription sunglasses for quite some time. The ones I will probably go with are the Solar Bats, the reasons being:
a). The founder, Dr. Gary Nesty, is (or was) a tournament bass fisherman and knows what bass fishermen need.
b). His Pro Staff reads like a "who's who" of professional bass fishing, from Aaron Martens to Bill Dance
c). They seem to be the most affordable, starting at around $330.
d). They can be made with conventional lined bifocals or progressive (no-line) lenses

I went with glass on my 2 pair of Costas. Clarity is superior and so is the scratch resistance. They are much heavier but worth the trade off since I'm rough on them while fishing. Maui no longer makes glass lenses for their prescription line.

Been wearing Costa Rx since they came out. Love them and since I do some bartering with my optometrist the $600 price tag is not that bad.

I’ve been through 2 pairs of Maui Jim rx and 1 pair of Costa rx. The Maui’s cracked twice where the lense and frame connect. The Costas are not very scratch resistant. I’m on a pair of Wiley x and so far so good. A little cheaper Thant Maui’ Jim’s and Costa too.
