Improve Your Coarse Fishing (UK)
.............. Optilabs
You don’t fish with just any old tackle, so why fish in just any old glasses? Prescription eyewear specialists Optilabs explains why improving your fishing starts just above the nose...
It’s easy to think that this game revolves around the hands – all that casting, retrieving and playing of fish. Yet consider all the work your eyes do – reading the water, following small flies, spotting the gentlest of rises and just enjoying the scenery. Try and ‘make do’ by putting sub-standard eyewear in front of them and your fishing misses out in more ways than one. Specialising in prescription sports eyewear, Optilabs has over 50 years experience in producing eyewear in tune with the needs of those who wear it, and while it counts mountaineers, runners, cyclists, swimmers and even snooker players among its satisfied customers, it was a fisherman who got the ball rolling all those years ago. His wish for prescription polarised fishing glasses remains Optilabs’ command, the polarisation an integral part of the lenses, and not the fragile, printed-on afterthought that you find with some cheaper sunglasses. Optilabs’ in-house laboratory will analyse your prescription and match lens curvature to your chosen frames, improving vision and eliminating distortion. Optilabs offers different coloured polarised lenses to suit different light conditions, although Optilabs’ Transitions Drivewear lenses provide an excellent all-round solution, performing superbly in all types of light from dawn to dusk. As an alternative to traditional lenses, try frames with interchangeable shields (one of them polarised). While giving you enhanced clarity and eye protection, Optilabs eyewear takes away the hassle that often accompanies wearing glasses. Whatever options you choose – lightweight, durable frames, adjustable anti-slip arms and bridge features, lens ventilation or FLEX frames tailored to your face shape, this is eyewear you put on and forget about until the final cast.
