I have foldable readers I always have with me. Just bought two pair off Amazon.
Also, you can buy little “flip down” magnifiers that clip onto your hat. Most fly shops carry them.
Throw a pair in your tackle box or bag
:hesaid
Yup had to borrow my dads truck last weekend and I usually have my sunglasses in my truck. That's when I decided after being on the water all day to start keeping a pair in my kayak. Same should apply to readers, keep a pair in tackle bag.
Get a pair of magnetic readers! The ones that go around your neck and have 2 magnets on each side of the nose piece and just leave them hanging around your neck! That works the best for me! I do also keep backups in ALL my tackle boxes! Here is a link to Wish but I would also check amazon as I trust amazon more!

Once my eyes changed to the point of needing glasses I bought progressive lenses and have NEVER looked back. That said, back in my fly fishing days the flip downs on your hat are tough to beat. I also put a spare pair of cheapie readers in my tackle Fanny pack for backup.Quote:

My sunglasses are bifocals. Bought them on line for about $20! Now, when I go fishing, I am wearing my readers and sunglasses!! LOVE THEM!!
Hey Kokomo, where on-line did you find them?
Many choices out there. Here is the one that I used. Reading Sunglasses & Bifocal Sunglasses under $20 | Readers.com(R)
All the suggestions here are very good. As an eyeglass wearing old fellow (I can't see without them) guy, the magnifier idea is something I am going to look (no pun intended) into. I am always fumbling with tying knots, and putting line through the eyelets on my rods.
I have worn prescription bifocals with transistion lenses for 32 years...go out in the sun and they turn dark for sunglasses.....go inside and they turn back clear. Keep a extra pair in my truck in case my glasses were to get broken or fall in the lake or something. I really like them.
Another idea from an old timer! [emoji3]
I have a check list that I go through every time I go fishing.
# 1 on the list, INSERT DRAIN PLUG! [emoji106]

I have about 6-8 pairs of Dollar Store readers lying around the place, some in vehicle, and some in my tackle bags. I used to wear a pair on a neck lanyard when I was still working, but quit using those after retirement because I don't wear the readers to drive, watch TV, fish, or much of anything other than when on the computer (& occasionally when viewing texts on my phone).
If you already have readers & just forget to take them ... the lanyards are the cheapest way to go. :twocents
I carry a spare pair in my boat and swap them for my tackle box when I go to the bank.
I made a trip this summer without the drain plug. Adds to the excitement of the trip:RoflQuote:

Thats a fine idea.Quote:
