So, I am sure like myself many of you suffer from having to use prescription glasses. Depending on your prescription using a pair of coralvue glasses or something similar is completely off the table, and often leads to eye strain and head aches. So what's the solution here? Well buying a pair of prescription glasses that are tinted is most definitely an option, but I am here to share another. This may not be the most glorious or fashionable thing, but polarized night driving clip-ons will provide the spectacle wearing hominid an affordable and easy on the eye coral viewing experience. I would even argue that the view is better than the "coral viewing glasses" that are marketed. I myself decided to go full geek and even purchased the flip up kind. Here is the link of the ones I purchased https://a.co/d/c50MHn9. They are even available in bulk if you want to share the viewing experience with your spectacle wearing friends, or if you run a LFS and want to provide the same experience to your spectacle wearing customers. I do hope this finds the people who were as aggravated as I was at getting head aches to enjoy my hobby. As always enjoy.

I put my coral viewing glasses over my prescription glasses. It is awkward, but works when I'm up close to the tank.
