I was wondering if anyone had recommendations or suggestions for good quality prescription sunglasses/companies. these glasses will be used for hunting and shooting but principally forhunting. I would also be interested in choice of color for lenses. thanks in advance for any input

I have had a pair of Wiley-X sunglasses for a couple of months that have performed great. They will accept prescription lenses and you can pop them in without tools. They are very durable and moderately priced.

I've got a pair of Oakley M-Frames with prescription lenses, as with Oakley's comfort and quality go hand in hand.

Re: suggestion for prescription hunting sunglasses

I recently got a pair of sunglasses made with the Drive Wear lenses.

It is a sun sensitive lense which changes faster than any others I've ever tiried. Plus, when i go into a building from the outside, I'll often forget I have these lenses on. They change so quickly and get very light indoors out of the sun.

I've found them perfect for hunting and shooting.

Lasix isn't an option for me. Not enough long range correction needed and near vision is BAD.

Getting old isn't for sissy boys!

I fully agree with this. As far as sunglasses go I am on the water working about half of my work month and the best thing I have found is the Costa Del Mar. I am have seen in Optometrist offices around my hometown.

I bought a pair of prescription Costas four years ago and still love them. Local place wanted $600, ordered them online from peepers.com for half that.
