Want to order Golf prescription sunglasses. In the order process there is no place to make a comment. My current prescription is for trifocals, I want my Golf sunglasses to only have distance and reading, no intermediate adjustment. Is that possible?

I just got prescription sunglasses and I see great, except my depth perception must be off because I suddenly began topping a lot of shots, especially with irons. I don't know if I should simply practice with the glasses on or discard them. I never wore glasses for distance before these and I assume the ball now looks closer that it really is.

Is there a solution to the depth perception problem while wearing prescriptions when golfing?

Have the same issue. I was very frustrated today on the course. They felt more like readers. I took them back and had them replaced with a new prescription lenses. I won't be able to read as clearly, but I don't care,as long as I can see my shots.

I think coming onto a site and promoting your own retail site is rather scummy.

Thanks for the information Mike. I live in the Houston area. Do you know any optometrists or ophthalmologists who are best for golf? I have prescription distant glasses but I can’t focus at 5 feet if you know what I mean. Thanks for you gelp

Where can someone purchase these Reks sunglasses

For my 'activities' sunglasses I went progressives, but was treated to a lowered midpoint. This increases the area of your primary magnification but still allows reading - the best of both worlds. They are fairly new, but so far, so good.

I'VE BEEN GOLFING AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN AN EYE DOCTOR...SINCE 1975. I'VE HAD ALL TYPES OF BIFOCAL DESIGNS SINCE I HIT MY 40'S. NONE LET YOU SEE THE BALL CLEARLY UNLESS YOU HOLD YOURN CHIN DOWN AND WE KNOW THAT'S BAD FOR A FULL BACK SWING. ON MY PERSONAL GOLF GLASSES I PUT THE BIFOCAL ON THE TOP RATHER THAN THE BOTTOM. THE BALL IS CLEAR AND I CAN READ MY SCORE CARD AND SEE MY GPS LOOKING THROUGH THE TOP AREA. MANY PRO TEACHERS-ON DVD'S AND YOU-TUBE VIDEOS- ADVISE AGAINST BIFOCALS. ASK YOUR EYE DOCTOR.

I have a pair of progressive sun glasses and it’s great for golfing. I tried line bifocal and single vision .Progressive was the ticket. I could tell you what kind but you might think I am trying to help A company.

I had cataracts and my lens replaced in both eyes.. I have just recently started playing golf again and I have no distance vision and virtually lose the ball after 50 yards. Will corrective sun glasses help?

I had cataracts, astigmatism, and I'm nearsighted (can't read but can see distance) so I had the lens replaced in both eyes that fixed the cataracts, astigmatism and nearsighted problems. My solution was to have glasses with the top clear/neutral, and the bottom progressive. The progressive let me read from about 4 feet down to about 5 inches. That lets me see the ball clearly and I can read my GPS watch and scorecard. Also lets me see the speedometer, etc. clearly when driving. I must tell you though, I'm used to progressive lens, and these glasses are clear, not tinted, but the same setup should work with sunglasses. Check with you optometrist.
