Prescription fishing glasses

To fully enjoy fishing, prescription fishing goggles should be part of your standard equipment. Good vision can directly affect your fishing performance. At Specialspex we help you choose the right glasses so you can fully concentrate on fishing.

Why prescription fishing glasses?

A pair of prescription fishing glasses protects your eyes from UV rays and annoying glare from the surface of the water. Polarized lenses reduce reflections, improve contrast and help you see fish under the surface of the water better. In addition, good glasses provide protection from fish hooks, a common cause of eye injury in fly fishing

What to look for when choosing fishing goggles?

Fit

Preferably choose wrap-around frames that fit closely to your face and have wide temples to block light from the sides. This reduces glare and protects against UV rays.

Material

Our fishing goggles are made of durable plastic that is resistant to fresh and salt water. They are lightweight for maximum comfort even during long fishing days.

Glasses and shades

Polarized lenses: reduce glare and improve contrast.
Tint: brown or green gives more contrast on the water; gray evenly attenuates all colors.
Mirror coating: filters bright light, giving you more comfortable vision in the sun.
See the difference: with polarized lenses versus without polarized lenses.
