Does it make a difference which color of lenses you get for polarized sunglasses? I have heard once from an ophthalmologist that brown amplifies the light more than gray, especially at dusk and dawn. Similar to why shooters use bright yellow lenses. Can anyone verify this or are all colors virtually identical for fishing purposes? I have to get Rx so I want to do it right.

for fishing i really believe brown or copper are the most universal. amber for real low light but they are usualy too light in the sun. grey seems to be the "darkest", especially in shadowy streams. i think you heard correctly as far as my finding go too. anyone with RX glasses out there?

I have tried polarized Rx sunglasses in the past and I have not been satisfied. Now I must say that they were ordered through an optometrist, using insurance glasses with polarization added and then the tint, what I found was that the polarization was never as good as my Action Optics and by the end of the 1st year the various layers were delaminating making them nearly impossible to see out of. Recently I've been using Cocoons over my regular glasses and found them to be better to see out of unless I'm warm from exertion and the humidity is high, or the temps cool in which case both the glasses & Cocoons fog up severely. I know Action Optics & some of the other manufacturers will make some of their products with your Rx, I've never tried them but, I have had opticians tell me Action Optics makes great lenses, also you have to work with Action Optics via phone/fax, rather than someone local. Re: color- like Nick said - Brown/Amber for daytime, yellow for the gloaming good luck, let me know what happens, I'd be interested in getting some good RX sunglasses myself.
