So, need to break down and get rx sunglasses, our optometrist recommended Wiley X and they appear to be very durable and comfortable. I am to young to be wearing those giant slide on my grandpa wore and very excited to get a pair.
Prior to dumping a large amount of cash want to determine what is the best option for clarity in the water. The polarized lens come in a smoke grey, smoke green and bronze lens, any recommendations or experience to help lead me to a more informed decision.

Thanks!

based on other lenses ive worn, id rule out grey for polarized lenses. right now i have "mossback green" lenses from solar bat and they are great. I have also used bronze colored lenses in the past and they offer good underwater clarity as well.

Amber is great for dawn, dusk and overcast days prime fishing times.

I use amber at all times. Perhaps out of your choices bronze would be closest to amber?

Tim, check this out on their lens colors:

The bronze is probably best all around fishing during sunny days, but they do have a goggle model (SG-1) that allows interchangeable prescription lenses.

Get your prescription from the eye doctor and you can probably order them online for quite a bit cheaper and more options than buying them from the optometrist.

I used amber lenses at all times for fishing. They are the most comfortable to my eyes and do just as well even the brightest days.
