Fishing is a good sport and many people enjoy it. Most people do not know that their relaxing fishing hobby can be damaging to their eyes. Water, in any form, is a natural reflector. When you are fishing in a body of water, like a lake, the sun is reflecting directly at your eyes. The sun's UV 
rays are harmful to your skin in large amounts, so imagine what kind of damage that they can do to your eyes. This is why you need fishing sunglasses.
Fishing sunglasses have polarized lens coverings that are specifically designed to repel the sun's UV rays. They are very effective in reducing the glare that is caused by the reflection of the sun in the water. In turn, you are protecting your eyes but you are also providing yourself with the opportunity to see more clearly.
The best fishing sunglasses will be made from quality materials. They should be, of course, waterproof. They should also be scratch and shatter resistant, on the off chance that you drop them or they fall off while you're trying to reel in that 20 pound monster that fights you every step of the way in.
Polarized fishing sunglasses have a particular design. The polarization is in a vertical layout. This means that glare and UV rays are blocked because they have a horizontal layout. Obviously, horizontal cannot fit through vertical. They will not get rid of all reflected light, but they do eliminate the light that affects the glare that you experience.
With fishing sunglasses, you also have the option of choosing the color of the lens, but which color do you choose?
It depends on the type of fishing that you will be doing. In low light conditions, the yellow lens color works well for spotting stream fish and increasing visual acuity and contrast.
For fly fishing, brown or amber lens colors seem to help you spot the fish in water that is a medium to shallow depth.
Gray lens colors are often chosen for fishermen who lake fish.
The frame of your fishing sunglasses is just as important as the color and the polarization. The right frames should cover the temple and a little further. This is necessary to keep the glare and UV rays from coming in through the sides. The goal of side coverage is to block out more light so that you can see much better.
Cheaper does not always present the same results as expensive, and this is the case with fishing sunglasses. It may seem ridiculous to spend $100 or more on a pair when there are cheaper ones for as low as $20 that look the same.
The problem is that although these no-name brands may look the same, they do not function the same.
With glare reduction, UV ray blocking, and seeing into the water the three purposes of fishing sunglasses, you have to make sure that they are going to do just that. In most cases, the cheaper ones distort things quite a bit. How are you going to see the fish or things in the water with such horrible distortion?
In hindsight, it makes sense to spend the extra money for a pair of fishing sunglasses that will work properly and last much, much longer.
