| I think I miss a few follows due to being colorblind. I have perfect vision. Does being colorblind affect polorized shades? Am I screwed. Have H-30s but find I spend time changing lenses and not fishing during prime low light. Keep hearing about green glass Costa delmars with 580 lenses. Any experience with them out there? A good shade during day with H-30 yellow lens at "dark" is my thinking. Then again being colorblind it might not matter anyway. |

| I would say that being color blind isn't the cause of you not seeing fish, but just not looking hard or close enough.
Get a pair of Back Water Green Oceanwaves.
No need to change out lenses and all that jazz. Get a good pair of glasses, and pay attention. |

Location: Rhinelander. | if you wear prescription glasses get some that are polarized. There is a huge difference between polarized sunglasses and prescription polarized sunglasses. I could not believe how much actually. I am very very pleased. I got mine through shopko.

Location: Appleton, WI | Being colorblind is not the issue, I would agree with the above post, to get perscription polarized sunglasses. Find a frame that really blocks the light out and put the lenses in those. I am Red/Green colorblind and wear glasses and I would not be without the polarized perscription lenses. |

| I've actually found that Oakley, and Smith/Action optics are far better than anything I've ever worn, including some of the above mentioned. The characteristics of a photochromic lens is absolutely unsurpassed. I am a believe in changing lens color in adapting to light conditions, as well. I've fished water side by side with people that are missing fish that I was able to see due to lens quality, or color. Many time, lens color and light transmission plays a larger part than a person would like to think, or admit.
If you aren't forced to wear 'scrip' lenses, I'd highly recommend Action optics Photochromic Copper lens in any of the styles. As well, any of the Oakley polarized in the lighter lens colors.
As a side note, many people don't like how heavy glass lenses can be, until they wear them on the water. The difference in clarity, and the lack of distortion makes them far superior to anything else. |

Location: Norway | Beeing colorblind, or colorweak as i prefer to call it, since I CAN see colors :).
Anyway I dont think different colored glasses will help you. I have red/green colorweakness (+some more :)) and if I use a red filter when taking those tests, I see the correct digit in the dots, but I'm 100% positive that It wont help me in pola glasses. However different colored glasses for different conditions, red/brown beeing the best allround color. Grey for sunny days and yellow for lower light conditions.
There are some studies which conclude that color blind individuals are better at penetrating certain camouflages (From wikipedia, they spelled it better than me) And a musky/pike is camouflaged isnt it? 
And to my side note: For years people have laughed at me, coz I saw colors where the "color" was grey, I joked about it and said that I have superbcolorvision and saw the colors that surround us, which normal people can't see. One day I was sent a link, from Cambridge Uni that my jokeassumption actually was right...

| Im colorbind too
My doctor told me that if when your a kid you have measles and then have it develop into chicken pox theres a good chance you will be colorblind,. really sucks when cooking meat you cant tell the shades of doneness so its either too rare or burnt
However I havent had any problem with polorized len's or glare or seeing follows and I lose or break sunglasses quite often so ive used many different brands |
