Try a pair of shooting glasses on those dark days or when light is low. They are polarized and will brighten things up.

When you think of a dark, cloudy day under the trees along a steelhead stream, it would be nice if the manufacturers made clear polaroid lenses. They say their iodine process will always produce color. Iodine is probably an inexpensive method so it's used over other methods that would produce a clear lens. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "rderedfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 9:38 AM Subject: Re: Polarized Sunglasses (prescription and photochromatic lenses) > If you are interested in purchasing polarized sunglass, and are considering > a prescription pair with a photochromatic option, be aware the prescription > photochromatic lenses don't lighten/darken to the same degree as do the > non-prescription lenses.
