Golf sunglasses: vision and fit at address
Compare lenses and frames for changes in light and shade, visibility of the ball and terrain, and fit in your address position.
01 / REFERENCE
How should I choose golf sunglasses?
Check that the ball and surrounding terrain are easy to see and that your field of view is clear at address. Compare lens brightness in sunlight and shade, wearing your usual hat.

Which moments during a round should I compare?
Use familiar situations from your rounds, from your address position to moving into shade.
| Situation | Compare | Check in person |
|---|---|---|
| Address and putting | Downward view and frame position | Does the frame obstruct your view of the ball when looking down? |
| Moving between sunlight and tree shade | Lens brightness and color perception | Can you see your surroundings comfortably in both? |
| Wearing a hat and turning your head | Brim interference and ear pressure | Have you tried them with the hat you actually wear? |

Do I need polarized or photochromic lenses for golf?
Choose for your usual playing time and course brightness. Compare the consistent tint of standard lenses, glare reduction of polarized lenses and changing tint of photochromic lenses, then check the actual view while wearing them.
