Obviously wearing them at all is a personal preference and even a bit controversial. My eyes have grown more light sensitive according to my optometrist, so I am in the market now.

Oakley Flak 2.0 seem to be the most consistently highly reviewed. What are the best ones that y'all have used? Mostly considering performance but also looking at style.

Frat level upgraded...

In all seriousness, I have read the blue/green lenses are not ideal for golf, and that the polarized lens creates some mild distance distortion. Have you experienced any of that?

I wear polarized lenses in my Oakley Half Jackets and they actually help me with depth perception.

Been wearing them since I was a mini tour professional in the mid 90s.

I’ve been wearing them so long on and off the course, if there is any distortion, I don’t notice it.

Is that the same as the Prizm Golf, or Prizm Dark Golf?

Thanks. I only wear my Costas when driving or actually fishing. But they seem goofy on the range looking down on the ball, and I hit like shite with them. That's what got me looking into more ruby- or brown-tinted non-polarized lenses.

This is consistent with my research on various "golf lenses", so far.

I’m a big fan of Maui Jim but lately I’ve been playing in Goodr sunglasses and they’re hard to beat for $35
