And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

I have to order new sunglasses this year. My old prescription glasses are
too dark and filter out way too much light. I've been experimenting with
some clip-ons over my glasses and tried purple and amber, but they still
seem to filter out too much. I'm looking for some color that will work on
both land and sea and filter glare more than light....Recommendations?

Great for fishing!

Speaking from experience..... about 30 seconds. Caution though.... they do
make for lazy pupils.

I would recommend you get gray colored polarized lenses. The reason fo
gray is
that it won't screw up how you see colors, like purple and amber lenses
will.
The polarization cuts glare, which is your biggest problem. You can
specify a
lighter shade as well. I have bi-focal polarized lenses and I got them a
shade
that is dark enough to prevent eye fatigue, yet light enough that I can
easily
read a chart without taking them off.

Response is slowed due to the compensation afforded by the automatic tint.

It's not a permanent situation. It takes a month or six to get the reflex
back.

Sailing sunglasses... polarized.. any tint... mirror finish to reflect back
the extra light from the waves. Get the leather side cups.....

Light gray polarizers. Simple.

In glass (not recommended) these are called Photogray or Photobrown Extras.
In hard resin, they are known as Transitions. They may get darker than you
prefer. Serenghetti makes a number of excellent lenses for sailors. My
favorite is their vermillion polarizer. Not too dark and a great polarizer.
Check it out. Oh, and by the way, it may be glass, so don't count on them
to be safety-type lenses.
