Jack; Nothing I hate, MORE usually, than the "As seen on TV" merchandise. But, wouldn't ya' know it.......... when fishing with a "As seen on TV addict", (I think he carries a Ron Popeil veggie slicer in his vest, just for lunch time), he pulls out a pair of these "Blue Blockers", sunglasses. (assssssssss seen on TV, of course!).
I watched him a while, (this was about a half hour, before complete darkness and raining), and he could tie on #20s, watch his fly as if it were high noon, etc.!???
So, I came up with some lame excuse to borrow them from him and, well............ I now own, 3 pair. One for driving, (clip ons, as I wear prescription glasses too), a pair in my 'Toon and one pair in my vest. All, clip ons. Of course, they make "regular", for those that don't need the clip ons.
I've seen the ads, on TV, for these and supposedly they "block out certain blue and red rays of light, (that are about what polarized glasses do), but do it, with a fairly light tinted amber lens. They are NOT POLARIZED, so they're no good for seeing into the water, but across the water, watching a fly, and.or, indicator, etc. I was really amazed at how they worked!?!
I've even worn them at night, against bright headlights,without any real "loss of safe vision, wearing sunglasses at night", type of problem.
I paid $7.95 ea, for my clip ons. I think, the regular style sunglasses are like $12.95.
Might work!?
