What are the best non prescription polarized sunglasses with readers used for fishing?

Thanks!

I have a pair of Smith Action Optics with readers I bought for fly fishing. I would part with them if you are interested. I just could not get used to the bifocal effect.

Mine are the brown and polarized brown lens.

I use Renegade. Just about $720 cheaper than a pair of Costas I got several years ago.

I use these on my Coasta's. Pretty much only need them for tying a knot.

I'm sure these are far from being "the best", but I have been happy with them. I was gonna just use them for fishing when I bought them, but I liked them enough that I use them for other things too. I have dry eye syndrome and these provide a lot more protection than my prescription glasses. They reader section is tiny and doesn't get in the way when looking through them normally, but I can tilt my head a little and they let me tie a hook.

I thought about the stick on magnifiers, do they stay on pretty good?

I've been using the Maui Jim for years. I have been pleased with them. If you have an HSA you can order them from an optometrist and use the funds.

I have Costas, Maui Jim’s and Ono’s. Ono’s are great for the price.

Look at the Costa C-Mates..they have a bifocal design that works well for all purposes. I have an Amber lense pair and Gray..both in +3.00

I have a couple pair of Amphibia Sunglasses with the built in readers that I absolutely love. Problem is Amphibia quit offering this option so I have been checking out some of their optical dealers but the only one I have found that could make the same lenses to fit the frames are charging approximately $200.00 for the two lenses. I am not going to give up these awesome Sunglasses but I am not wanting to pay that much for the lenses so the hunt is still on and hoping my two pair last longer even though my best pair is almost 4 years old now and still in great shape but would hate to go back to the days of having just regular lenses and having to deal with my reader glasses to tie knots etc.

I have a pair of Amphibia Sunglasses as well. I just ordered the Stick-Tite stick on magnifiers to try in them.

I have a set of Wiley X tri focals with polarized fishing lenses. I think I shelled out a little over $350 for them. They are the Climb model. Climb is the correct name for them for sure. When you are running down the lake in your bass boat they "climb" down your nose and off your face. I'm glad I got a lanyard on them or they'd already be at the bottom of a lake somewhere. That being said they are incredible in shallow water, I can see things that I can't even begin to see with cheaper sunglasses. I wear them when I'm fishing shallow only or tying knots.

I have a pair of Costa with readers built in. I will part with for $200.00. I bought them 2 years ago and have only worn them 3-4 times. They are still in the glass case. PM me if interested. Thanks.
