I am going to be 62 next month so obviously my eyesight isn't as good as when I was 16.
Time for new glasses and contacts.
As many of you already know, masks fog your glasses. I have worn contacts since my 20's.
I have never been impressed with my Orvis Croakers so I told the woman helping me that I am a fly fisherman and wanted polarized sun glasses for fly fishing. Interestingly enough, she told me that she also fly fishes and could help me.
As a former salesman, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to deal with a salesperson when I know more about something I want to buy because of my interest and research than the salesperson.
This woman was on the ball. I ordered a pair of Maui Jim's with brown polarized lenses. These are expensive but nobody can buy new eyes. I just need them for distance and clarity. My Flip-Focals and other tools should work adequately enough for the equally challenging fly fishing frustration of tying knots with declining eyesight .
