Sounds like a great idea, thanks.

Are the progressives large enough to block the scattered UV?
Its a normal frame, in style a few years ago. Today's are a bit
smaller, but whatever you want. I usually wear a hat, and the helm
has a hardtop, so I don't worry too much about wrap-around glasses.

How fast is the transition from dark to clear?
They go dark pretty quick. The only time I notice them is when they
take a minute or two to go light when I go inside.

Any problem reading a chart plotter in full sun?
The only thing I have a problem with is my camera.


I have progressive bifocals with an automatic tinting (photo-sun?
transitions?) Now they're the only glasses I wear. I used to keep
untinted and polaroid prescription glasses, but no more.

They are getting larger again, Jeff, if incrementally. I pray we never go
back to the Elton John look or the Harry Carey-type frames. :-(
