Fishing is all about what you can see. Glare from the water can hide fish, strain your eyes, and ruin your focus. The right lenses cut through glare, enhance clarity, and protect your eyes – giving you the edge every time you cast.

Whether you’re on the riverbank, at sea, or enjoying a quiet day on the lake, choosing the right fishing glasses can transform your experience. Here’s our guide to the best lenses for fishing glasses – and how Lensology can reglaze your existing frames for a fraction of the price of new ones.

Why Polarised Lenses Are a Must-Have for Fishing

Polarised lenses are essential for any angler. By cutting through surface glare, they let you see beneath the water’s surface – helping you spot movement, structures, and fish more easily.

At Lensology, we offer a wide choice of polarised tints so you can match your lenses to your fishing conditions:

  • Brown – enhances contrast and depth, perfect for spotting fish in rivers or lakes.
  • Grey – reduces brightness while keeping colours natural, great for long sessions on bright, sunny days.
  • Green Mirror – balances brightness and contrast, ideal for saltwater fishing.
  • Blue Mirror – excellent for offshore fishing where glare is most intense.

Add Anti-Glare for Even Clearer Vision

While polarised lenses tackle glare from the water, Anti-Glare coatings reduce reflections bouncing off the back and front of your lenses. This means sharper, more comfortable vision – especially during long fishing trips.

We strongly recommend pairing polarised lenses with a minimum of Anti-Glare coating to get the best out of your fishing glasses. It’s a small upgrade that makes a huge difference.

The Ultimate Choice: Transitions® XTRActive® Polarised

If you only want one pair of fishing glasses for every condition, Transitions® XTRActive® Polarised lenses are the ultimate solution.

  • Photochromic technology – lenses darken outdoors and lighten indoors, adapting to any light conditions.
  • Polarisation – reduces glare from water, sand, and shiny surfaces.
  • Eye protection – 100% UVA & UVB protection, plus blue light protection indoors and outdoors.

These lenses are perfect for anglers who want a single pair of glasses for all-day wear, on and off the water.

See our Transitions® comparison guide for more detailed information.
