Polarising filters need to be aligned correctly to the horizontal to work properly - might not work so well in a monocle? I suppose the wearer could tilt his head.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to wear a monocle for fishing, but it would be better to simply remove one lens from a normal pair of polaroids.

To Customer Care at Oakley:

Hello,
I'd like a polarised monocle. Any chance you can make one?

Many thanks,

David

Same is true for astigmatism correction - this problem was solved a long time ago.

Speak nicely to the optician.
