I wear contacts but I try to wear them as little as possible to give my eyes a break and more exposure to air. For fishing I wear prescription polarized sunglasses - Maui Jim's. I bring my regular glasses in  case I need them when it starts to get dark.

I wear contacts too, but now that I am 48 it is getting hard to read, and to tie fishing knots. I plan on buying glasses with readers and prescription sunglasses my optometrist has Oakleys. When not fishing I'll probably still wear contacts 90% of the time.

I also wear contacts for astigmatism. To supplement when I'm fishing I bought a pair of polarized glasses with built-in bi-focal (non-prescription) for tying knots.

After a lifetime of wearing very expensive prescription glasses and sunglasses, I had cataract surgery and can now wear plain old sunglasses to fish... but not to read. I almost miss my Varilux Progressives. Almost.

 

And I don't feel safe fishing without glasses at night or in the semi-darkness, so I just bought a pair of 3M Readers safety glasses at Lowes for $14 and they have built-in 1.5 readers.
