Prescription Polarised Fishing Sunglasses

See deeper — in your own prescription.
You don’t have to choose between vision and performance on the bank. We offer prescription polarised fishing sunglasses built around our fishing-first lenses, so you get proper glare-cutting performance and your exact correction in one pair. No more swapping glasses. No more squinting. No more contact lenses if you don’t want to wear them.

This guide explains how the process works, what we can (and can’t) do, what information we need from you, and how to start your order.

How it works

Ordering prescription polarised fishing sunglasses is straightforward. In most cases it goes like this:

1. Choose your frame: Pick the Fortis frame style you want us to build in prescription. Fit, coverage and style are up to you — wraparound for maximum block, lifestyle frames for day-to-day wear, etc.
2. Choose your lens type: We’ll help you pick the right polarised lens for how and where you fish (for example Amber / Brown / Green / Grey / photochromic SWITCH). This works exactly like our standard range — you still get fishing-specific polarisation and glare reduction.
3. Send us your prescription: You provide a valid, in-date prescription from your optician. We’ll need the sphere / cylinder / axis values for each eye, and whether you need distance vision, near vision, or something else. If anything is unclear, we’ll come back to you before we glaze lenses.
4. Send us your PD (pupillary distance): PD is the distance between your pupils. This matters because the optical centre of each lens needs to sit in front of each eye. If your optician hasn’t given you PD on the printout, we’ll explain how to get it.
5. We confirm suitability: Some prescriptions are straightforward. Very strong / complex prescriptions (e.g. high astigmatism, very high plus/minus) may not be possible in certain wrapped fishing frames because of curvature limits and lens thickness. We’ll tell you honestly what is possible in which frame before we proceed.
6. We build your RX sunglasses: Once everything is signed off, we have your lenses made to prescription, polarised, and fitted to your chosen frame. You receive finished glasses ready to fish.

That’s it. No guessing, no sending money blind, no buying generic “polarised readers” off the internet and hoping.

What you actually get

These are not cheap clip-ons. Your prescription Fortis glasses are built to be used on the bank. That means:

• True polarised fishing lenses: The same glare-cutting polarisation tech we use in our non-prescription range. This blocks reflected surface glare so you can see through water and spot fish, weed beds, patrol lines and movement below the surface.
• Fishing tints that match conditions:
  • Amber / low light: Boosts contrast in overcast, snaggy, under-tree situations.
  • Brown / contrast: Helps define silhouettes and contours in mixed light.
  • Green / natural view: Balanced for weed, margins and clearer water.
  • Grey / bright sun: Neutral tone for harsh light and open water glare.
  • Photochromic / SWITCH: Darkens in sun, lightens in cloud. Great if you fish all day in changing conditions and don’t want to keep swapping pairs.
• UV protection: UV400-level protection as standard (blocks UVA / UVB). This is eye health, not just fishing comfort.
• Frame coverage built for anglers: Most everyday high-street prescription sunglasses are fashion-focused. Fortis frames are cut to wrap, cut side light and sit comfortably for long bankside sessions rather than just walking down the high street.

In short: you’re not just “getting your prescription put in some sunglasses.” You’re getting your prescription inside polarised fishing sunglasses designed to help you see fish.

What we need from you

To build prescription polarised fishing sunglasses that actually work for you, we’ll ask for three things:

1. Your prescription

We’ll need a valid, current prescription from an optician. It should include:

• Sphere (SPH) for each eye
• Cylinder (CYL) and Axis (AXIS) if you have astigmatism
• Which distance you want set up for (most anglers choose distance vision — i.e. seeing clearly into the water and around the swim)

If you want anything more specialised (for example: close-up rig tying only, or reading and bivvy work only), tell us — we’ll advise what’s possible in sunglass format.

2. Your PD (pupillary distance)

PD is the distance between your pupils (millimetres). We need this to line up the optical centres of the lenses with your eyes.

If your prescription sheet doesn’t list PD, you can usually request it from your optician. If not, we can guide you through measuring it yourself as accurately as possible.

3. Your frame choice

Some frame shapes are more suitable for certain prescriptions than others. High-curvature, wraparound fishing frames are excellent at blocking side light — but extremely strong prescriptions may not glaze cleanly into that much curve without distortion or thickness.

If that’s the case, we’ll suggest a slightly flatter style that still performs on the bank but suits your prescription better. We’ll always be up front about that before we build.

What we can and can’t do

We’ll try to accommodate most anglers, but there are limits. Here’s the honest version:

• Single-vision distance lenses: Usually fine. This is what most anglers want — clear distance vision for water reading, spotting, casting, netting, etc.
• High prescriptions: Very strong plus or minus values, or complicated astigmatism, may not be possible in every sunglass frame shape. We’ll review your prescription and tell you which frames are suitable rather than letting you order something we know won’t work.
• Progressives / varifocals / bifocals: In some wrapped fishing frames, progressive or bifocal style lenses can be limited or may introduce distortion in the periphery. If you need multi-distance correction, tell us — we’ll confirm what’s actually realistic in a fishing frame versus what’s better left to your everyday glasses.
• Safety / impact guarantees: Polarised fishing sunglasses are built for bank work, surface glare and comfort. They’re not industrial safety goggles. Standard common sense applies.

Bottom line: we’ll never promise a prescription build we can’t deliver to a standard you’ll actually fish in. If something isn’t suitable, we’ll say so before you spend.

Prescription FAQ

Can you make prescription polarised fishing sunglasses for me?

In most cases, yes. As long as your prescription sits within a glazeable range for the frame you choose, we can build it as a true polarised fishing lens in your correction.

Do I get the same polarised performance as non-prescription Fortis lenses?

Yes. The whole point is to give you both: your vision and proper fishing-grade polarisation that kills surface glare and lets you see into the water.

Do I need to send my frames in?

No. You choose a Fortis frame style from us — that’s the chassis we’ll glaze with your prescription. We don’t ask you to mail in your old sunglasses from somewhere else.

Can you do photochromic / SWITCH in prescription?

Photochromic (light-reactive) lenses are often possible in prescription. If you fish from low light into bright sun and don’t want to keep swapping glasses, tell us you’re interested in a light-reactive option when you submit your details and we’ll confirm if it’s available for your chosen frame and prescription.

Can you adjust tint for the style of fishing I do?

Yes. If you mostly fish coloured water under trees and snags, we’ll recommend something brighter / higher transmission (like Amber-style tones). If you fish clear gravel pits in harsh light, we’ll advise a darker or more contrast-driven lens (Brown, Green, Grey). If you do long, mixed-light sessions, photochromic can make sense. Tell us how you fish — that’s the important bit.

What if I only need help for close-up rig tying?

Some anglers want their glasses optimised for near vision instead of distance, so they can tie rigs or work in the bivvy. That’s possible, but it changes how useful the glasses are for scanning water at range. We’ll ask what you really need most and build toward that.

Will you tell me if my prescription won’t work in the frame I’ve picked?

Yes. If your chosen frame shape and your prescription don’t play nicely together (for example, heavy wrap + high correction), we’ll recommend a better match. You’ll know before anything is finalised.

How do I start?

Fill in the prescription enquiry form with:

• Your selected frame style
• Your prescription (a clear photo / PDF from your optician is fine)
• Your PD (pupillary distance)
• Your preferred lens type (for example Amber, Brown, Green, Grey or photochromic/“SWITCH”)
• How you mainly fish (stalking margins, open water in bright sun, winter overnighters, etc.)

From that, we can confirm suitability, talk through lens options, and outline next steps.
You don’t have to guess.

Ready to order your RX fishing sunglasses?

1. Choose your frame.
2. Grab your prescription and PD.
3. Tell us how you fish and what you need to see most clearly (margins? distance? night work?).
4. Send it via the form on this page.

We’ll review what you’ve sent, confirm what’s possible for your prescription, and guide you into the best lens / frame combination for how you actually fish — so you get true prescription polarised fishing sunglasses that work on the bank, not just “sunglasses with your script in.”
