Golf – I can see clearly now!

The 2015 golf season is well under way. The courses are drying out following a wet and miserable spring, the days are long and the sun, dare we say it, is at last starting to shine. You may have noticed a warmth on your back and you may have even been tempted to lose a few layers of clothing.

There is however, one constant, no matter what the weather conditions, when playing golf and that is the need to wear good quality eyewear.

Whether you need prescription glasses or not, your game can be greatly enhanced by wearing the right eyewear. Squinting can ruin concentration and lead to eye fatigue, so lenses should let just right amount of light in to give clear views, without letting too much light in that leads to poor focussing. Lenses should also increase contrast and sharpness giving you better vision for better accuracy of your shot.

Being able to switch lenses on your eyewear, for example, with the great value, none prescription, Rapid Fairway Sunglasses means vision is sharp when light levels change. Curved lenses and wrapped frames such as the Bolle Sunglasses, as worn by Lee Westwood, make peripheral vision better. Being able to see across the whole fairway or green improves aiming. Comfort matters too, so golf sunglasses need to be light with adjustable nose pads to allow for a better, finely tuned fit. Compatibility with a cap or visor is also an advantage.

If you wear prescription glasses wearing the correct eyewear is perhaps even more important. The Nike Premier 6 with genuine Shamir Lenses, with true freeform back surface for the widest fields of view and peripheral stability, are perfect for golf.

When the look is just as important as the performance there can be no better glasses than Maui Jim. The "rimless" Maui Jims Banyans equipped with Polarised Plus 2 Lens Technology and Maui Passport prescription lenses give you excellent protection, colour enhancement and clear vision across the entire lens.

Every golfer is different, so whatever, the light or weather conditions, it can be argued that choosing the correct eyewear when playing golf is just as important as choosing the right clubs.

Many sports men and women can greatly enhance their success in their own sport by investing in a pair of prescription sports eyewear specifically designed for their own individual sport or pastime.
