Sports Performance and Protection

Eye protection is essential for golfers, with prescription golf sunglasses. You can have well-fitting easy to use glasses that protect your eyes in all conditions while out on the links. There is no better way to protect yourself from eye strain and other problems.

Stay Focused

Golf is a precision game, which is why having the best prescription sunglasses for golf players matters. You can have protection and comfort at the same time with high-quality golf sunglasses that keep your eyes safe without compromising your game.

Improve Your Game With Prescription Sunglasses For Golf

Wrap Around Lens

Golf is an active sport, and you need to ensure your eyes are protected every step of the way. That means a need for lenses that consider the head movements you make playing golf. Those head movements could potentially expose the eyes to harsh sunlight or the elements.

These prescription sunglasses for golf wrap around the face, curving at the edges. That gives you not only an enhanced field of view but protection from sun glare, wind, and other hazards even during the swing.

Lenses that Enhance Contrast

The key to better vision during golf is contrast. It allows you to see the ball much more clearly in flight. At the same time, the lenses enhance depth perception, which can help you read the greens better.

The best sunglasses for golf feature contrast enhancing lenses, using color to provide the enhanced vision you need. Prescription sports glasses are available in Amber, Brown and Rose color that all give you that extra contrast that can make the difference to your game.

Tall Lens Height

The height of a lens may not seem that important, but for prescription golf sunglasses to be as effective as possible, the taller lenses can make a significant difference. This is because of the motion of your golf swing. As you look down, in golf glasses with smaller lenses you end up looking over the top of the glasses. That change in light can be off-putting during the swing and cause you problems with your game.

However, with the taller lenses that prescription golf sunglasses have, even with your head tilted the view is always through the glasses, giving the consistency that is key to improving your game.

The perfect prescription sunglasses for golf players

As with any piece of equipment, your prescription golf sunglasses need to be just right for you. Getting the right prescription sunglasses for golf can be as important as getting the right clubs. It's all about the little details that make the difference for you. There are several things to think about, and all can have an effect on your golfing experience. So, having the right golf glasses is all about finding the ones that work for your needs.

Selecting The Frames for Golf

The first thing is the frame, and when looking for prescription sports glasses there are two things that really matter. First is the fit, do they fit firmly on your head? The last thing you need is your prescription golf sunglasses falling off mid-swing. Your golf glasses should have anti-slip nose pads and a temple area that grips properly. Next to the frame itself, many prescription sports glasses use lightweight material for frames. That lightness helps you get on with the game without thinking about glasses at all. Lightweight is not the only thing though, you want strength and durability too, to ensure they last. Finally, there is the style. While this doesn’t affect the performance of your prescription golf sunglasses, the best sunglasses for golf are the ones you will wear. So, your golfing sunglasses should be in the style you like.

Things to Consider for Golf Prescription Sunglass Lenses

You wear prescription sunglasses for golf to protect your eyes, and the size and shape of the lenses are incredibly important for this. Lenses that wrap around the face, curving to ensure that you get the broadest field of view possible. These kinds of lenses also add protection and are by far the best prescription golf sunglasses available. Height also matters, ensuring that you don’t have to look over the top of your glasses during a swing. Finally, high contrast colored lenses give you better vision even in the brightest of light.

The Insider's Guide to the Best Golf Sunglasses

While you might think you can hit the fairway with any old sunglasses, the best golf sunglasses can improve your performance, safety, and enjoyment of the game. Let's explore how golf sunglasses outperform conventional sunglasses, so you'll know what to look for when purchasing sunglasses to help improve your golf game:

What Makes Golf Sunglasses Better:

• Technologically advanced lenses help you better discern the depth of fairways and greens
• Polarized lenses cut glare, allowing for better vision down course
• A lightweight, athletic fit stays put through your swing and makes you forget you're wearing glasses
• UV protection keeps your eyes safe through 18 holes and beyond

Golfers who routinely wear high-quality sunglasses point out—quite rightly—that visual acuity is essential on the golf course. Many feel that the right pair of glasses helps them see the breaks and grains of the green, and the lie of the ball, and the depth of the fairways. Golfing sunglasses with precision polarized lenses and advanced lens and frame technology can cut glare, reduce eye strain, and keep debris out of your eyes while maintaining a perfect, lightweight fit to help shave a few strokes off your game is challenging light situations.

But even those who don't want to wear sunglasses while golfing—whether they believe glasses will set back their game, or because they've simply never worn glasses for golfing before—should consider this: 18 holes of golf will keep you outside for about five hours. You wouldn't step onto the green without sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays, and your eyes deserve the same protection. If you don't want to put wearing them, you can take them off for the stroke, and then put them back on.

Whether you're in it just for the UV protection, you're thinking about trying a pair of glasses to improve your game for the first time, or you're looking to upgrade your existing pair, there's a lot to consider when it comes to golf-specific sunglasses. One of the biggest deciding factors when narrowing down the perfect pair of sunglasses for you is the lens tint.

The Best Lens Colors For Golf Sunglasses

Ideally, a good pair of golf sunglasses increases color contrast. The best golf lenses will also help colors appear more vibrant in low-light conditions, including early morning or evening. Science has not specifically shown that different tints or colors will improve your game, but it's fairly common knowledge that each tint affects your vision a little differently, and that each is best suited for different conditions. Why shouldn't this be relevant to golf? It's an outdoor sport, and lighting has a significant effect on how players see the ball. Some golf glasses come with easily interchangeable tinted lenses so that players can optimize their vision depending on the conditions on the links.

The best lens colors for golfing include:

• Amber/Brown
• Rose/Red
• Gray
• Green

Amber/Brown Lenses

Amber or brown lenses enhance the contrast between light and dark colors. Golfers find they can see the ball with increased clarity against the backdrops of green grass and blue sky when they wear amber or brown lenses because these colors are excellent at blocking the blue light.

Red/Rose Lenses

Rose-colored lenses, like brown and amber lenses, will increase the contrast between light and dark colors—great for putting on the green, helping you to identify contours, and reading the green more accurately overall. In particular, rose or red lenses accentuate the yellow and red hues in the color green, which is the dominant color just about everywhere on a golf course. On bright days, though, rose and/or red lenses will not darken the field of vision as much as other tints, which can lead to eye strain. Save your rose-colored lenses for overcast weather.

Gray Lenses

Some sources maintain that gray-colored lenses are good for outdoor sports, including golf, because the neutral tint allows the eye to perceive other colors in their truest form. But others point out that gray is not especially useful for golf, in any conditions. The neutral tint flattens light evenly across the spectrum, meaning the white golf ball is less distinguishable than it is as seen through other tints.

Green Lenses

Green-colored lenses filter some blue light, which helps reduce glare and tends to heighten contrast while maintaining the balance between other colors. This results in increased clarity, useful on the golf course.

The Best Shapes for Golf Sunglasses

Semi-rimless frame styles work well for golf, as full-rim styles may obstruct your view or cause distortion when you're looking down. Almost all sunglasses designed for golf offer a wrap design, for added protection and better vision. A full wrap blocks light from entering through the periphery, allowing you to see more clearly and enhancing protection against indirect UV light.

The Best Prescription Sunglasses for Golfing

Most golf sunglasses are available with prescription sunglasses lenses—including progressive lenses. The best prescription sunglasses for golfing combine the glare-blocking, lightweight, athletic performance of golf sunglasses with your own prescription, allowing for crystal clear vision from tee to green. If you prefer photochromic (aka Transitions®) lenses that darken in bright light, we can add those to your frames. If you're not a fan of Transitions, you can carry a pair of prescription golf sunglasses and a dedicated pair of prescription glasses for cloudy days.

No matter what tint, prescription, or shape you choose, and whether you need prescription lenses or not, opt for lenses that meet or exceed ANSI standards for impact resistance.

Golf Sunglasses and UV Protection

UV protection is one of the most important benefits in any sunglasses and should be a top consideration when you're shopping for a new pair for golfing. Set aside the debates over whether sunglasses improve your game, and listen to these facts. UVA and UVB rays are beating down on us all day, every day. Sunny or cloudy, it doesn't matter—we're being bombarded by those ultraviolet rays the sun hurls through the atmosphere (like frustrated golf players have occasionally done with their clubs). UV rays are responsible for a number of eye health problems: cataracts, macular degeneration, corneal sunburn, and skin cancer, to name a few. If you're out golfing—or just spending time in the sun—wear 100% UV protective sunglasses to protect your eyes.
