Good Day, I have a story to tell here. I finally decided to get transition, progressive glasses, which unfortunately are the most expensive, and tied them with a string that had a floatation foam. On a demo roll on a flat lake 5 feet deep they came loose. I was terrified but saw the float and picked it up, only to find out the glasses were gone. These glasses had no drop shape ends. I tried to fix the position and started diving on non clear water, and could only feel the sand but nothing to be seen. I offered a reward to fishermen who worked for an hour in the area until one guy shook a stingray and almost got stung. We left the place and I got myself another pair with good round drop ends, again transition and progressive, because it is the only thing that has worked for me. Since I wear them all the time, on the water or in the office, they don't get scratched, or jammed on the table, on my pocket, etc. I can see close or far and on the outside they darken with sunlight. Two weeks later one fisherman came with the glasses I had lost, and they had no noticeable scratches. Let me tell you that the lake is 4 miles diameter, and two of his friends were sweeping the bottom bed for oysters with a fork type thing, on the sector that they thought we were when I lost them, and the glasses came with the shells, stones and sand. Of course they got their reward. I was amazed and now I have two pairs of transition progressive glasses. The second pair has withstood a good number of rolls. So I recommend good round thick ends, that will retain the string.
