Hey guys, my vision has gone to **** that last couple years. I were glasses around the house and have a prescription pair of costa's for the day time. But I get screwed When I paddle out . I cant see ****.

I found these guys , Silver fish Surfing sunglasses , with prescription

Has anyone else gone this route?

They are gonna run me about $200 for everything . I think they will be worth it in the long run.

Thanks for the input guys!

I got my husband a pair of Seaspecs--similar to the Silverfish, nonprescription. They were really slow to ship, in fact I had to email them to ask where they were about 2 weeks after they'd charged my credit card. So I'd be hesitant about ordering prescription lenses from Seaspecs. And he's not that happy with them, the lenses aren't all that dark even though I ordered the ones that were supposed to give the maximum protection.

I could use something like Seaspecs or Silverfish, though. I'm really nearsighted and don't like wearing contacts anymore (your eyes get drier when you get older and I need bifocals now and I just couldn't be bothered anymore). For the time being I'm wearing my old pair of prescription glasses, which have Transitions lenses and darken up in the sunlight, with one of those Croakies eyewear retainer straps which they sell at Burt's Surf Shop. If these glasses get broken I'll have to see about getting prescription Silverfish or something.

I'll be interested in hearing in how you like the Silverfish.

I'd be hesitant to pay that much for something that could come off in the water and never be found again. I'm not sure how I'd solve your problem, I'd just hate to see a thread on hear a week from now about how you lost your 200 glasses on a wipeout.
