(perhaps the cheapest? - as we all know where they end up :) Let me recommend laser eye surgery. I did not have lasix but about 6 years ago I developed cataracts in both eyes and had the lenses replaced with implants. This is a more invasive treatment than the typical $1,000-per-eye laser treatment and it meant one eye at a time. But 60 days later I had 20/20 vision and have had it ever since. The differences in my life are spectacular (no pun intended). I buy $49 sunglasses at Big5 for driving and $15 sunglasses at Wal-Mart for kayaking. I have a pair of RayBan (non polarized) for soaring. My reading glasses are the $20 titanium frames that I replace every six months. When I get up in the morning I open the blinds first thing and check the weather instead of finding my glasses first thing. I can scuba dive, kayak, and ski without fear (or fog). In short, if you have an eye condition that is amenable to the laser eye correction then let me encourage you to investigate it. It truly changes your life. And not many things do that.

Here is one option that was posted to the list a year or two ago. I've had good results. http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php Aquagoggles is another option which you might consider. The lenses aren't ideal for wearing long term, but they do have their place. http://www.aquagoggles.com/ --- "Wolf, Mike [MBC]" <michael.wolf_at_medtronic.com> wrote: > Any opinions/suggestions out there on best > perscription sunglasses to use kayaking?

Mike asked: "Any opinions/suggestions out there on best prescription sunglasses to use kayaking?" Mike, you may already have considered what I will suggest, but here goes. Until I take the plunge and get lasiked, I am using $3 wrap around inserts from Walgreens. They fit very snugly inside my glasses and perform well both in summer kayaking trips and on winter snow/ski/camping trips. Because they go inside glasses, they are less prone to scratching. Many years ago I used prescription sunglasses, but I find this solution as good.

I recently bought a pair of prescription RecSpecs from a local optician. They have an integrated strap w/out rigid temples and good protective padding around the nose. The strap keeps them very secure during rolling. RecSpecs makes watersports models but I settled on the following. http://www.sporteyes.com/rsmaxx.htm#Maxx_31 The perfect paddling eyewear, in my opinion, and a vast improvement over my old wraparound shades plus croakie setup, which I couldn't wear comfortably with a surf hood. /rdh -- Roger D.
