[BOCA RATON, FLA.] — ISLAND OPTICS has announced the launch of our new Low Light OX2 Lenses engineered specifically for anglers and the conditions they most often face. As an angler, you know you aren’t always able to go fishing on the best calmest, sunniest days. You deal with a lot of weather as an angler, and something that is often overlooked is a lens on sunglasses that allows you to see into the water on those dark, stormy days as well as early and late in the day and in very shaded areas.

Island Optics has been working on a low light lens for more than a year with their anglers to offer a better advantage over the fish in a multitude of conditions. Their proprietary OX2 lens offers layers of protection and vision enhancing qualities that now help you see into the water in every condition you face, while enhancing the color and adding clarity to your day. Their polycarbonate lenses offer maximum protection to your eyes while also offering you unparalleled visual acuity in a wide range of environments.

The new OX2 Lowlight Lens features a brighter yellow base that filters more helpful light penetration to see into darker, shadier waters while still blocking out all the harmful UVA and UVB rays. They spent additional time mastering the filtering of light more accurately for the low light conditions while still reducing the maximum amount of glare to give you a deeper look into the waters you fish in a wider range of conditions.

These lenses feature hydrophobic, oleophobic and anti-reflective coatings to ensure the elements, dirt, oils and other things won’t mask your vision. A quick wipe with the micro fiber cloth case, and your lenses are like new again in seconds. All to keep you seeing clearly on long days on the water.

Island Optics offer these new lenses on several styles and many anglers wearing them are raving about the combination of this new lens on the larger fishing frame the Mako XL.

“I love the new Low Light OX2 Lens from Island Optics,” said longtime fishing publisher and media stalwart Jason Sealock. “These lenses have been some of the best I’ve ever tested, at a much more affordable price point for anglers. And I’ve found them to be very comfortable on my eyes even in bright conditions. On those early mornings where I’m stalking fish in the shallows and again in the late evenings, these quickly became my go-to lenses on the Mako XL frame for hunting good fishing spots and individual fish.”

“After many requests from charter captains and serious anglers to supply a Low Light Lens that would help them during the early mornings and overcast days, we decided to create a superior lens that visually exceeded the top tier lenses by other makers like Costa and Smith,” said Island Optics Founder, Josh Alovis. “Through many months of testing different amber/yellow/mirror color combinations and levels of polarization with a VLT of 32%, we are proud to finally offer the OX2 Low Light lenses to anglers. Perfect for sight fishing and shallow water angling at all times of the day and any type of weather.”

Island Optics seeks to build the highest quality sunglasses for anglers without exceeding their budget, breaking the longtime stigma that you have to spend $250 or more to have quality fishing sunglasses. They are focused on providing twice the quality at half the cost of most other high-end sunglasses manufacturers and disrupting the price points anglers have suffered through for decades.

Not only that, but Island Optics offers the best options for prescription and transitional sunglasses for anglers with every vision type at much better prices than you will find anywhere else in the fishing space. They are able to rely on their family’s generational knowledge of building prescription glasses to offer super competitive options for all anglers.
