I stick paper towles in zip locks under my dry top. It's still a pain and I wait till it gets real bad before I go digging. On a partcular nasty night, I remember having to bend down and go nose to belly on a fish before I could tell if there stripes - glasses do suk!

I tried contacts for a few days and I hated them....either the laser surgery or contacts again.... salt and sand in the air and fog and waves.... glasses are a true impediment to fishing.

I have thought about it, but I have 3 different visions?? And were Bi-Focals. I will have to see if I can do something?? I have only had glasses the last 3 years.

After getting a couple of waves over the head and worrying about losing my glasses I decided to get daily disposible lenses just for fishing. This way if I lose one Im not out too much $ . I keep a couple of spare pairs in the truck. Im not comfortable wearing contacts all the time so this works for me.

Never heard of them?? they cost much?? Just ask my doc for them?? Thanks

I have Acuvue disposable bi-focal contacts. I wear a pair 24/7 for 3 weeks at a time. I scuba dive and swim with my eyes open and never had a issue with a lost contacts.
If contacts are for you save big money and call
1-800-contacts. This was not intended to sound like a commercial. You can always wear the contacts when your in the surf and take them off when you get home. During your next eye exam ask for both glass and contact subscription.

I believe they are B&L lenses, I can check at home, and are about 1$ a pair from the wholesale club.
