Re: Sunglasses
Don't bother with the fitovers. They're bulky, ugly and heavy. I've gone with contacts and tonics. I really rate the tonics. Fwiw I actually think you get better glass and frames in fishing specific sunnies than you do in more expensive fashion brands.

Hi Mate,
You will find both Tonic and Spotters will do Prescription Lens.
Both are located in Melbourne.
Firstly I'd contact Doug at Tonic tell him what you are after and he will point you in the right direction.

Re: Sunglasses
I am using one fitted overseas. No need to swap glasses for sunnies. Not cheap but still cheaper than having 2 separate specs.purple5ive wrote:no such thing exists as of my last time of enquiry.Fish-cador wrote:Get polarized transition lenses. End of discussion.
in saying that though, i did see one of the bigger brands just release something likewise.
I was using transition lenses 3 years before it became available in Australia.

Re: Sunglasses
You will want the Transitions Vantage Lenses if you only want one pair to do all...
They are clear lenses which darken and polarise at the same time...
