Hello, I hope this isn't redundant. After reading a discussion re contacts, laser surgery etc., I decided to pass along something that helps those who just need reading glasses to read charts, GPS, watch, etc while wearing sunglasses. It is a stick-on reading lens for sunglasses, safety glasses, or dive masks. I've been using them for a few years. They work great, don't wash out -even in rough whitewater, can be trimmed, removed, and come in several powers. OPTX•20/20 Reading Lenses http://www.neoptx.com/ I get the OPTX from Cabelas(fishing catalog), as well as their TR-3 deluxe wrap polarized sunglasses for 29.99. These glasses have held up better than much more expensive shades, and the polarization is great for seeing under the surface, cutting glare etc. They worked great on long Baja trips, padling south into glare all day. I'm rough on sunglasses, but have never broken a pair. When they get old and scratched, I spray them with some Armorall, and they seem to be rejuvenated (somewhat). Maybe not a good idea? Someone once told me that scratched sunglasses can let in random UV that can be harmful.
