spinnerbaitalways Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Can you see better with mossback green color lenses than you can with amber lenses. I fish mainly Kentucky lake waters. Looking for your opinion greatly. I have recently become diabetic and my eyes are the first way I can tell my sugar is out of normal If y'all are you know what I mean. So please I nead and your opinion is great full to me Thank you Todd Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 28, 2014 Super User Posted June 28, 2014 Was always told amber color is good for cloudy days. Other colors good for sunny days. Mixture of colors is the best. Try to get prescription polarized sun glasses after doing your research and speaking with people who sell the sun glasses. A good pair of sun glasses can be extremely expensive but worth the price.

Super User bigbill Posted June 28, 2014 Super User Posted June 28, 2014 I use the dark green on sunny days I'm a diabetnc too. I use Amber on overcast days and for driving at night. I use the eBay glasses. Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 28, 2014 Super User Posted June 28, 2014 As we get older or when one is diabetic contrast becomes more difficult. Amber helps with color contrast & is why I wear it daily. I do have darker Amber for sunny days & lighter Amber for overcast days. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 28, 2014 Super User Posted June 28, 2014 I'm a diabetic as well. When I first discovered I was diabetic the first thing my Dr had me do was see a ophthalmologist, eyes can be greatly affected both the eyesight as well as eye wellness from diabetes. I hadn't noticed a problem but my prescription had changed, got new glasses. 2 months later I was having trouble with the new glasses, reason being the diabetic medication changed the script again, which was a good thing and normal from what I was told. I have no vision problems to be concerned with and my script hasn't changed in 3 years, eye health is fine too. I do monitor my blood sugar and watch my diet closely. I wear ambers for inshore and overcast days, grey for offshore in the ocean. I don't wear polarized all the time when I'm fishing, depending on the angle of the sun I may see better with out them. I wear flip ups on my prescription glasses. I'm, always flipping them up and down, this set up works well for me. World wide there is only a handful of companies that make all the lenses for glasses, regular and sun. Even Costa, although still assembled in the US, is owned by a French company, Essilor. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Diabetic too. Legally blind in one eye and other is not great but stable over 10 years now. I had numerous surgeries on both as well as cataract implants in both. My eyes are very sensitive to light. I have a pump now and really helps with my readings I wear dark green polarazied subscriptions that wrap around. Quote
Wildbillb Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I am not diabetic. I fish the ultra clear waters of Michigan. I wear amber lenses all the time. I have the mossback and I am not happy with them. Quote
