Prescription Fishing Glasses

Selecting a lens color depends on your preference and fishing environment, light conditions, and preference. Gray or American Gray G-15 colored lenses effectively reduce glare for bright, sunny days or open water while maintaining accurate color perception. For variable light, overcast skies, or shallow water fishing, Copper or Brown 3 lenses enhance contrast and improve visibility. Your choice also comes down to how you like to see the water and what type of sunglass lens experience you prefer. RX-Safety offers all these options to match your fishing style and vision needs.

Yes, adding a front-side mirror coating can enhance the overall performance of your fishing glasses. Mirror coatings reflect additional light, reducing glare and eye strain—especially in bright, sunny conditions on open water. They also add an extra layer of style and can slightly alter the visual experience depending on the color. RX-Safety offers a range of gold, green, blue, silver, red, and pink mirror coatings to match your performance needs and personal style.

Yes, you can get prescription wrap-around polarized fishing sunglasses. RX-Safety offers all the lens types—including single vision, digital single vision, flat top bifocals, and progressive bifocals—for wrap-around style frames. We recommend digital single vision and progressive bifocals for the best optical clarity in curved frames to ensure the best optics.
However, wrap-around styles with a 6-base or 8-base frame have prescription limitations. If your prescription is over a +/-5.00 sphere or +/-2.50 cylinder, you may need to choose a flatter frame style to ensure proper lens fit and performance.

At RX-Safety, we ship custom prescription orders faster than anyone else. Depending on the complexity of your prescription and selected options—such as lens type, mirror coatings, or specialty materials—orders typically ship within 2 to 7 business days. We prioritize both speed and precision to ensure you get high-quality fishing sunglasses without the wait.

Yes, RX-Safety can add transition lenses to fishing sunglasses. However, we recommend polarized lenses for optimal performance in bright outdoor conditions, as they are better at reducing surface glare on water more effectively. Although not quite as effective, Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses are a strong alternative—offering up to 90% polarization compared to the 99–100% polarization provided by standard polarized sunglass lenses.

The best lens material depends on your needs and preferences. Glass polarized lenses offer superior optical clarity and scratch resistance. Polycarbonate and Trivex are lightweight and impact-resistant—great for active use. High-index plastics are ideal for stronger prescriptions, especially on larger frames.

Adding an anti-reflective (AR) coating to the backside of your polarized lenses is highly recommended for fishing. While polarized lenses reduce glare from the water’s surface, the AR coating eliminates reflections from behind the lens—such as sunlight bouncing off your face or coming in at an angle. This combination improves overall visual clarity, reduces eye strain, and enhances performance on the water. RX-Safety includes premium backside AR coatings as an option on all prescription fishing sunglasses for maximum glare control.
