I'll chime in for polarized specs as well. On top of what everyone else has mentioned you get to see fish in the water better than your non-polarized pals.

Well, you could with polarized lenses... with your bare hands.

In my opinion, once you wear polarized you will see what you have been missing.
I miss my Maui Jim's terribly due to having had to start wearing glasses.
With polarized, everything becomes so crystal clear it is amazing.

Not even an option buddy. Non-polarized are actually bad for your eyes... spend the extra few bucks!

The biggest complaint I have ever heard about polarized lenses, they make certain LCD displays nearly impossible to see. Particularly BMW radios.

Congrats on the wedding also.

Carols, they make prescription lens for some Maui Jims. I have a pair of the ones with and without since I like them so much. I do not think the prescription ones are polarized though. I will tip my head next time I wear them.

i wear them 90% of the time when i'm driving even when it's cloudy the polarization really cuts down on eye strain.

Revo's and Mau Jim's. The two greatest polarized lens out there IMO.

I'm going with everyone else, either buy polarized or might just as well by the $5 cheapies from the gas station. The amount that polarization reduces your eye strain is unbelievable, especially while driving or near/on the water.



Never tried Revo, but Maui Jim's are great! Serengeti is another amazing glasses brand, and one of the very few out there that are photochromic. Most people have never heard of them but they're probably the best driving glasses bar none on the market. They're owned by Bushnell and use the same caliber optics in their glasses that Bushnell uses for their binoculars and rifle scopes. I've worn Serengeti's for the last 3 years and would never imagine buying fashion glasses like Oakley again, the difference in moving up to quality optics is just too great to come back from.

Definitely worth it.

If I recall, they are a bit more than the Maui's though.

thanks guys, my decision is pretty much made I'm just a bit worried about the lcd issue that was posted about. One of my cars is an early 90s gm product with the lcd speedo so if I can't see that, that maybe a problem

its not really a problem, you can still see the lcd, if you turn you head at the wrong angle, the polarization makes it alot less readable.

Thats just from my experience though.

Like everything, depends on where you buy them. I've bought all of my Serengeti's from OpticsPlanet.com and they've been quite reasonable, especially compared to local pricing since there's only one optometrist that carries Serengeti in Vancouver. I think my Dante's were the most expensive at about $210 which is less than 50% of what I would have paid if I bought in Vancouver. Serengeti's most expensive models are seem to be priced comparably to Revo and Maui Jim, but most of their models seem to be significantly less.
