Cool Polarized Prescription sunglasses

My prescription bi-focals are terrible to use while fishing. They are the auto darkening, and glare is awful, sometimes I have to remove glasses just to see what the guys in the boats next to me are catching. LOL. So, looking for advice on getting a good set of polarized prescription sunglass for fishing. I wear bi-focals, so I'd like to have my regular prescription for far and near sight, but in a good wrap around fishing glasses. Also what color is best for inland salt water and being able to see depth finder and other electronics without having to remove glasses? I'd like to stay under $200.

Thanks for reply. Googled Maui Jim and found some places in Lafayette to get prescription. Just curious, what does a prescript pair cost if regular is 230?

Prescription polarized sunglasses usually cost more than a regular pair of polarized sunglasses. I was going to spend probably close to $500 on a prescription pair of Costas. If you find a pair of prescription polarized glasses for cheaper than $250 or $300, let me know, because it would be a first for me.

You will be lucky to touch a pair of prescription Maui Jim's or Costas for less than $300, bet on it. They aren't like the non script that you can buy from some secondary market for cheap. I got a pair of non script costas for less than $200, but it was from a seller on EBay.

May just have to pony up, 'cause I can't continue fishing with my regular transitional prescript glasses. Not to mention the UV damage.
Thanks, I'll look at Costas also.
