Polarized Readers

I'm in the market for new non-presciption, polarized bi-focal sunglasses. Any hot finds the last couple years?

  I have used Onos the last few years and liked them ok.  But I have had inside lens surface of two pairs start deteriorating.  Sort of a micro-pitting, I guess.  Otherwise,  they are great.  (Company replaced first pair at no cost, and would probably do it again, but I'm looking for alternatives.)

  I like a couple other brands, but they don't offer readers.  I came across ads for Shadyrays, and may give them a try, but curious if I'm missing any for consideration.

I rotate through three pairs of Onos myself.

(blue, amber & green lens)

Big fan & have had nothing happen to any pair as of yet.

I think going on 3 years now, maybe more.

If they are not on my face,

they live in the case.

Good Luck with your search.

Thanks @A-Jay.  The case could be the difference.  I have worn them daily year round - not just fishing.   But I don't use the cases.  I don't get any scratches,  however, nor any problems on outside lens surface.  I asked Onos if it was from using 'Spit' for anti-fogging, but they said that's the brand they recommend.   Could be my sunscreen, or maybe my sweat is more corrosive than others'...no idea.  But it is frustrating not to get a full year before the pitting affects my vision.

Not at all.  I have two different brands and both do FF and phone screens perfectly.  The only time I remember a screen problem is the occasional gas pump.
