“For the first time in my life, my eyes feel totally relaxed in the sun, thanks to a fantastic pair of sunglasses, called Spotters. In my other life I have been a Physical Education teacher for over 20 years, and since day one I have had problems with glare. On my first day at work, I spent the morning teaching swimming, without sunglasses. I was doing stroke correction, so I had to observe the kid's action through the surface glare. By morning tea my eyes felt like burning coals and they continued to deteriorate to a point where I thought I would have sight problems. Fortunately they fully recovered, but I have remained ultra sensitive to sunlight, to the point where I even wear sunglasses when driving in the rain. Add to this the knowledge that my mother died from a malignant melanoma on her optic nerve and you may begin to see why I am a bit sensitive about eye protection. Basically I will not step outside in daylight hours unless I'm wearing sunglasses. I have worn more brands than I care to remember, in price ranges from red spot specials, to take out a bank loan, and quite frankly you are often paying a lot of money for that little brand name on the frame. Within thirty seconds of putting on the Spotters Penetrators my eyes were screaming, Buy Them! As they adjusted, I physically felt the muscles around my eyes relax for the first time in memory. For weeks I actually looked forward to wearing the glasses when I went outside. Now after two months of use in all conditions and terrain I can say without hesitation, my eyes were not deceiving me. Spotters are Australian made and have almost indestructible frames, which have a one-year guarantee. David Smith of Captain Midnight's Treasures, who I bought the glasses off, tells me there have only been two claims for frame replacement in over 20,000 pairs sold. One pair was jammed in a car door and the other set was chopped up by a chainsaw. The lenses are glass, give 100% UV protection, are polarized, coloured and photochromic (Photochromatic - Change shade depending on light intensity). They are also available in prescription lenses, by order. They come with adjustable length side frames, solid and soft protective cases, removable wrap-around side frames, strap, cleaning cloth and a choice of leather or plastic blinkers. I only use the clip on plastic side protectors at sea and prefer to have them of at other times, mainly because I don't like my side vision obstructed when driving. I chose the Penetrators out of a wide range of styles and colours, as they were recommended for blue water fishing, and boy do they work at sea. On numerous occasions I have had to lend them to companions, so they could see what I was telling them to look at, in the water. The only problem has been, on every occasion I have had to ask for them back. Not once have they been returned without a request. They are instantly comfortable to wear and people's eyes relax so much, they forget they have them on, while my eyes are killing me.” Spotter’s sunglasses can be obtained by visiting Mercury Bay Pharmacy. Do your eyes a favour and try a pair now.
