Golden Paws Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/fortis-wraps-bifocal-2-00-polarised-sunglasses My close up sight is rubbish and I need reading glasses to do a lot of simple tasks which is pretty annoying. At work I wear a pair of safety glasses but with the same sort of lower lens that makes reading easy but my long sight is near perfect and looking straight ahead is just looking through normal perspex. I've got a pair of the Fortis glasses and they are very good. Sorry about the AD advert but the Fortis website is pretty rubbish when it comes to displaying exactly what you need. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevtaylor Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 https://fortiseyewear.co.uk/product/overwraps/ I've just bought the normal wraps not the overwraps in Amber after recomendations. Overwraps go over your normal glasses aparently 👍 crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have Shimano with grey/blue lenses but lost those, they were good. My Fortis in Brown are not as good as the Amber, but I guess each has it's day crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks . 🤔 Hello mate , when I got my new glasses at Specsavers I got offered a second set of glasses at a greatly reduced rate and I chose Polaroids. Prescription is the way to go mate , you have to be comfortable by the pool and be able to clearly see it’s contents . whatever that may be 😊 salokcinnodrog and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
