If you donΓÇÖt already wear sunglasses while fishing, you should. Spending hours outside in the sun exposes your eyes to dangerous levels of ultraviolet rays. A good pair of sunglasses can block them out.
To read the water correctly, you need to see it clearly. New developments in lens technology include filters which block certain types of undesirable light for better vision. Frame shape and fit are important too.
With the right sunglasses, your eyes will be protected and youΓÇÖll see better, for more enjoyable fishing.

Protecting your eyes from UV radiation with sunglasses. Ultraviolet rays are linked to serious vision disorders. Sunglasses do for your eyes what sunblock does for your skin.
Eliminating water glare with polarized lenses. Polarized glare is a specific kind of glare that reflects off non-metallic surfaces including water. ItΓÇÖs what keeps you from seeing through the water to the fish below.
Proper light levels and sunglasses. Too-light lenses may not be comfortable in bright sun and may not protect normal night vision. Too-dark lenses make it hard to see when the light diminishes, and have to be removed, and thatΓÇÖs annoying when you are moving from light to shade and back.
Heightening visual contrast with a blue filter. Sunglasses that control blue light let you see better in a wider range of light and dark conditions, and more detail in the water and in shady areas.
