The only way to improve your golf score is to practice, but as with any sport, being equipped with quality accessories will help you get better results.
These items include hats, performance clothing, and gloves. While all these items are important, high-quality sunglasses are an indispensable accessory that will benefit your game—and your eye health—in many ways.
Sunglasses Are a Must-have for Golf
Many people don’t wear sunglasses when playing golf, perhaps because the sun doesn’t bother them. But not wearing sunglasses can negatively affect your performance and cause eye damage. With sunglasses, quality matters. Don’t just wear cheap sunglasses, be sure to wear good sunglasses – preferably ones designed for golf.
Preventing Eye Strain and UV Damage
Golf courses are carefully designed and well cultivated, but there is often no shade. In this open environment with so much bright natural light, the human eye uses its muscles to regulate the amount of light it takes in. Continuous use of this muscle causes eyestrain, which can cause stress and negatively affect concentration. Wearing sunglasses helps your eye muscles relax so you can focus on your game.
Golfers are constantly exposed to ultraviolet rays. UV exposure affects not only your skin but also your eyes. Wearing sunglasses helps prevent longterm UV damage to your eyes.
The Outlines Become Clear
When playing in strong sunlight, you may lose sight of the ball when you squint. With high-quality sunglasses, you can clearly see the ball’s position and get a better sense of distance. It’s also easier to detect unevenness on the green.
Golf Sunglasses
Golf-specific sunglasses are essential to improving your performance and comfort on the course. When golfing, many people wear sunglasses with dark lenses to reduce glare. Unfortunately, these lenses darken the field of view and make it impossible to get an accurate sense of distance or line. They can also cause eyestrain.
Polarized lenses are ideal for golf. Other lenses don’t suppress reflection off the grass, especially in the morning hours when the course is still wet – which can be hard on your eyes even when you’re looking away from the sun.
Our polarized lenses by TALEX feature a high-performance miscellaneous light-cutting filter that firmly suppresses reflected light and UV rays and allows only comfortable light to pass through. This makes it easier to see unevenness on the fairway, provides you with a bright view, and even allows you to clearly see slight changes and lines on the green. These lenses provide comfort so you can concentrate on the game.
The Carbon Lens – Designed for Golf
Created in collaboration with professional golfers, TALEX developed a lens designed only for the green. This lens provides a natural color base with added warm contrast, making it easier to accurately judge distance. The color density of the Carbon lens is slightly lighter, making it easier to see. The proprietary polarization filter suppresses reflections off the grass so you can clearly see the ball and any obstacles.
The Slate Lens – Our Allrounder
The Slate lens is our most popular lens. It provides an optimum balance between the light–cutting rate and visible light transmittance, so you feel comfortable wearing them in any weather. These lenses accurately reproduce all the colors as they are, allowing you to see everything as if you’re not wearing sunglasses at all. This gives you a better sense of distance, which is crucial to your golf game.
