Wear Polarized Shades While Fishing to Protect Your Eyes

Despite what you might hear about the weather in Northern Ohio we do have a lot of bright, sunny fishing days on Lake Erie.
That's why I always encourage my customers to bring dark, polarized sunglasses with them on their charter. Without them, a fisherman likely will end the day with a gigantic headache caused by squinting all day.
According to eye doctors, polarized lenses contain filters that reduce glare from reflected light.
Thanks to the invasion of zebra mussels a decade ago the lake's water generally is pretty clear most of the time. So trust me when I say that the glare can be pretty intense. So don't forget the sunscreen either.
Doctors say non-polarized sunglasses only reduce the amount of light entering the eye without solving glare problems.
Eliminating surface glare allows an angler to see down in the water, even fish you may be attempting to hook.
That's a neat site when you are bringing in a big fish. Flyfishermen also love polarized sunglasses because they allow the anglers to see trout coming to their fly.
But don't get the wrong idea. Polarized glasses do not give the user Superman's X-ray-vision powers: Fish and structure will remain unseen in cloudy water no
matter what type of glasses you wear.

Fisherman who complain of eye fatigue and
headaches after a long day in the bright sun are most likely feeling the effects of excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
The same UV rays that cause sunburn can also inflict damage on the eye. High-quality, polarized optics offer more than mere respite for squinting eyes; they also provide protection from invisible hazards by blocking UV light.
Because the reflected light can be extremely bright I recommend having at least two different pair of polarized sunglasses, one tinted a dark shade and the other tinted lighter for those cloudy-bright days.
The wrap-around style is perfect for fishing because it give protection for the entire field of vision. Out there on the lake, reflected light can hit you from all directions.
How much you pay for your sunglasses is up to the individual. I've purchased polarized shades at Walmart for around $12 and was satisified. But the last few years I have been getting my sunglasses at West Marine.
Their brands are especially made for boating so the lenses and frames are made to get tossed around. A good pair will cost around $40, but you can buy them on sale and save.

Polar Obsession $35.29 The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen's blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non-Inuit families in a tiny native settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning life-and-death lessons of survival: how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbors had done for centuries. Today Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate change on the polar regions and their inhabitants, human and animal alike. In a wise and wonderful intertwining of art and science, his bold expeditions plunge him into freezing seas to capture unprecedented, up-close documentation of the lives of leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, bearded seals, and narwhals. Bathed in polar light, his images, inspiring and amazing, break new ground in photography and provide a vivid, timely portrait of two extraordinary, endangered ecosystems.
