KCEE Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I've been using Oakley's with Fuse Rx lenses. The fuse lenses were about half the cost of Oakley's and I think they're better.

JFish350 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I usually buy less expensive glasses for golf and work as I tend to drop and scratch them too quickly. I've replaced Oakley's, Maui Jim's for this reason and just don't like spending $300 plus on glasses every year. My current pair of cheapies are polarized and I can't wear them during golf. make my eyes wig out but I can wear them work. I broke down and bought a pair of the Scheyden glasses that the Paulson boys are peddling on their radio show. So far they are comfortable & good for diving. I have only played one round of golf with them, sadly it was rather cloudy and didn't really need them much. I did wear them when I needed and I could see the ball pretty good, no distortion and they don't slip. As far as green reading with, jury is still out as the clouds made it difficult. I'll be in a really sunny location next week and hoping to put them to the test on the course. Quote Sub 70 949 D 9* HZRUDS 60G 6.5 smoke RDX shaft.

John in SATX Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 As far as premium sunglasses, I enjoy my Costa Jose’s with the blue reflection lenses on the outside, but amber lenses when looking through them. I guess I’m one of those weird guys who actually prefers polarized glasses for golf. For me, it helps me see things with “pop”, to include seeing the undulations in the greens better. For a cheaper brand, I’ve really become a fan of Shady Rays at www.shadyrays.com.

I bought a pair of the Seek FC with the Enliven lenses and really like them. Tifosi are the absolute best sunglasses. Love ‘em.

ED13 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Fifteen+ years ago Rayban had good lenses. I now have multiple pairs of Maui Jim sunglasses for everyday use when a polarized lens is needed. Tried Oakley Prizm golf glasses but did not like them. Keep them with my fishing gear in case someone forgets or loses theirs. For golf I wear non-polarized Vuarnet sunglasses with yellow lenses, similar to shooting glasses. Very nice depth contrast and under the right light conditions it is easier to read greens while wearing them.

GolfSpy_APH Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I have 3 pairs. A pair of Adidas* and Oakley* which I bought in greece on vacation. Given the price I know they are fakes, but they are still polarized and nice fits. Then I also have a pair of London Drugs house brand (maybe razr?) I dunno, but they are easily my favorites. After years of buying good oakley sunglasses I finally went cheap and these have lasted just as long if not longer than any others.

EasyPutter Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 When I am wearing corrective lenses it is these dark gray clip-ons I have had for 17+ years that are also used for driving in bright conditions. I have a backup set in the golf bag that are dark brown tinted that went through my desert deployment. Both are polarized. When I am going without corrective lenses which I am doing more frequently now I have been going without glasses working at home since March 2020 beginning of pandemic, these mirrored wrap arounds are my glasses of choice. Polarizing seems to have an effect of sharpening the image that improves clarity and extends vision acuity. The interesting note is I am going to an appointment soon for determining what my prescription is as I know there is going to be a change for less correction. I keep my corrective lenses with me at all times when away from the house but it is the polarized non corrective lenses I am wearing even while driving putting on the corrective lenses for situations that require visual acuity at greater than a quarter mile. Eye strain and visual fatigue are sure signs a new prescription is needed. Rickp 1 Quote Derek Verified Hack, ~25 handicap Golf for exercise and peace of mind.

GolfSpy SAM Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This is something I've been trying to figure out, so after a bit of research, I ordered a few different (cheaper) brands from Amazon, all with free returns, to try out and see if one is closer to something I'd like to wear on-course. I'll let you know if any of them stand out above the others! (these are all in the sub-$30 category, so I'm not hoping for much, but wanted a pair to keep in my golf bag that wouldn't break the bank if I lost - someday I'll plunk down a bit more serious money for something like an Oakley/Scheyden - just not today ) JFish350 1 Quote Driver - Callaway Ai Smoke Max - 9* - Draw setting; Maltby UL (Otto Phlex) 5/7 Wood - Takomo Ignis Utility - Caley X01 Driving Iron (3 = 18*) (currently benched) Irons (5-PW) - Caley 01T Wedges (48, 52, 56, 60) - Indi Wedges FLX 48 / ATK 52, 56, 60 Putter - L.A.B.

Golf2Much Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I've been using Ray Ban Predators, with grey polarized progressive lenses for about 6 years. They are my go-to sunglasses for golf and around town. I like them as they are one of the most wrap around frames that will take my prescription. The downside is they wrap around so much the temple tips can actually scratch the inside of the lenses when rattling in the case. I've never had an issue playing with progressive lenses.

I'm hesitant to try the Prizm Golf lenses, as I don't think they're dark enough for me but I have heard great things about them! I think if a set of lenses ever pop up on the bay for cheap, I'll snag them and try them out. They have 2 versions, one is prism golf and the other is Prism dark golf. The dark version has a 22% rating on light transmission , I think the darkest the have is like 11 or 12 but some let much more than 22%in so its fairly dark. I do know I read somewhere that the non polarized versions of lenses were better for golf.

juspoole Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I've had a couple different brands over the past 5 years. I had Ray Ban's New Wayfarer P for the longest. More for looks, but the optics were ok. Went to some Maui Jim's that I enjoyed, but last year I wanted to try prescription sunglasses. I didn't want to drop a huge dime on a big brand prescription in case I didn't really like them so went with Kirkland lenses in a couple frames. They actually have really nice optics and polarization. The frame is not as sturdy as I would like, but for driving and casual activity they are fantastic. For active - I just bought a pair of Knockaround sunglasses that I like the frame quite a bit. The lens could be better and have less internal glare, but they are decent for $30. Based on my good experience with the prescription pair, I'll likely look at an Oakley prizm/Maui Jim/Costa if I can find a deal and a "do it all" frame.

I haven't had any noticeable issues yet, but I can see how it can hinder things.

tony@CIC Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Fred Mitchell said: As a Veteran I bought the Oakley Sylas model with the Prism Dark Golf lenses through the ID.me program and I REALLY like those lenses. I am 60/61 on the 29th of the month and eyesight just doesn't cut it anymore and these lenses help me keep up with the ball in flight, read the greens and find the ball when it lands in a less than optimum spot. Do you have any more info on the veteran program that you can give us.
