I know this if from the last golf season but i am trying to get fitted for glasses. i wear 3x progressives for everyday use, distance, middle, near. Always used my single (distance) sunglasses rx and transitions for early morning and evening for golf. During my recent exam my eye dr. said i should be using the middle vision to address the ball. The problem with that is progressives with 2x, middle (address) and vision causes the usual blurred vision during the back swing and sometimes follow through. wearing a single Rx for middle vision would cause eye strain for in between hitting the ball where your normal distance is needed. To date there is no progressive that covers enough area for golfing, horizontal head movement. i think i will have to go back to the single distance Rx for golf. (i don't worry about reading the card, i need to hit the ball correctly!) I have just recently read progressives are strongly not recommended for golfers due to address issues from driver to putter, and horizontal movement which i have experienced. Lined bifocals would drive me crazy as i am afraid the line would be in the way and annoying
Also i cant wear the nice base 8 curved sports frames (see below) as most opticians cant make my Rx in that radical of a curve. I had a pair made years ago as there are online opticians that can make the rx in that curve but are super expensive and not covered by my eye insurance. So it looks like i am back to single vision Rx.
Any suggestions would be welcome!
thanks!
