Sunglasses

I'm after polarised clip on's as well ! what colour would you guys recommend for water based activities around mainly PPB and WP..

You will want the Transitions Vantage Lenses if you only want one pair to do all...

They are clear lenses which darken and polarise at the same time...

have you got them or used them before?
where can you get them locally?

I don't have the polarised version yet, I just have normal transitions. I understand they are available through local independent optometrists.

What area are you in, I know someone in the industry who may have an optom recommendation.

South east mate, carrum downs.
ive also currently got the transitions on my normal pair and prescription polarised sunglasses for fishing
but wanted to change to the right prescription on the sunnies as they are about 5 years old now and a prescription or two behind my current ones.

I was told a grey for bay brown for river..

Although the tonic lenses are a mixture of all and are apparently very good...

He suggested The Spectacle Site in Stud Park Shopping Centre as they are a Transitions Lens specialist. (might be a little far for you)

Get polarized transition lenses. End of discussion.

no such thing exists as of my last time of enquiry.
in saying that though, i did see one of the bigger brands just release something likewise.

I am using one fitted overseas. No need to swap glasses for sunnies. Not cheap but still cheaper than having 2 separate specs.

I was using transition lenses 3 years before it became available in Australia.

Thats great news .
How does it work when its low light and the lense is almost clear

It is UV activated. It will always turn dark during day time. On low light condition it is not as dark as when the sun is up. Perfectly clear lenses at night or indoors.

Not a reflection on top of the water.... cant complain.
