    Hubby can see the screens to fish!

    My husband said these sunglasses are perfect. While offshore fishing, he can see his screens and line his hooks without switching glasses. He did have to get them molded a little closer on the sides as they were a little wide for his preference, too much light was coming in. (he has a narrower face). They’re perfect for him and he wants another pair for back up!

    Great customer service!

    I received online notification that my prescription sunglasses had shipped but, to a location in another state. I called Island Optics and they looked into it. Got back with me same day, explaining USPS had sent out corrupted delivery info to thousands of customers. IOptics assured me the mailing label was correct and my glasses would arrive earlier than I was anticipating. For sure they did and the script works great!

    Mako XL RX review

    Glasses are great. they are extra large but I guess my face is not as large as I thought. the prescription is great and I can now tie on smaller flies without reading glasses. The one item I needed to do was add a bungie to the ends around my head so the glasses dont fall of.....guess I should have order the non XL, but I love how large the lenses are the optics are awesome. the prescription is also great, with the progressive for tying flies on and the prescription in one eye to see distance...I have a couple of Costa glasses (no prescription) and these are glasses are great!
