\n Baj\u00edo\u2019s sunglasses are bifocals, but nobody can tell when looking in from the outside of the lenses.<\/span>\n <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n\n

Renato Cappuccitti used to see it all the time, and it would drive him nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Baj\u00edo\u2019s vice president of operations and Rx, he\u2019d be at a boat show, and people would come over to say they owned and loved the company\u2019s sunglasses<\/a>. \u201cBut they have a pair of readers around their neck on the cord, and they hold them up over the glasses they\u2019re wearing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the line of readers from Baj\u00edo that launched in March. By the time this issue of Yachting<\/em> is on newsstands, reader lenses are expected to be available in every frame style the company makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Anglers often remove their sunglasses and put on readers to tie flies. Now the sun protection can remain in place.<\/span>\n <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

The reader sunglasses are a modern take on traditional bifocals, available in powers of +1.5, +2.0 and +2.5. The magnifier is embedded in the back of the lens, so there is no prominent line (like in the old days) telling the world that the glasses are bifocals. And because the magnifier is on the inside of the lens, it is also a lot less likely to get scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s really nice about a reader like this is that it\u2019s a very quick learning curve versus progressives,\u201d he says. \u201cThat takes your brain a week or two to adjust. Anybody who has had that experience with progressives, you don\u2019t have that same experience with these.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Las Rocas frames are shown in shoal tort matte.<\/span>\n <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

Cappuccitti says boaters find the readers helpful for maintaining protection from the sun while tying flies for fishing, looking at helm displays and using apps on a mobile device. Just like readers from the drugstore, these sunglasses can be worn while doing anything on board that requires a close-up view.\u2009\u201cIn sunglasses, bifocal makes the most sense for a reader,\u201d he says. \u201cWe don\u2019t want someone to be blinded by the bright light when they take off their sunglasses to read something. Now you get the protection from the sun, and you can still read or see something small.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is the same material most people have in reading glasses at home. Like the bio-based frames that Baj\u00edo uses, the reader lenses are lightweight too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orders ship from the Florida factory within 48 hours with a choice of frames and lens colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
