For Father’s Day, Help Dad Improve His Golf Game

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, you may still be scrambling to find Dad the perfect gift. (And yes, Father’s Day IS this Sunday, June 15^th.) Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be difficult because you need to find the perfect combination of something practical which also says, “Dad, I really took the time to find something great you will love.”  But don’t worry – Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley has some great gift possibilities for Dad.

If Dad is an avid golfer, why not buy him a pair of polarized sunglasses and help him perfect his game? You have probably heard of polarized sunglasses, but you may be wondering what they exactly are and how they can help when it comes to playing golf. Polarized shades were first used by boaters to fight glare and see objects in the water. They help to protect against polarized light, which is a concentration of rays that move horizontally in the same direction. Polarized light causes a glare that can make the golf ball and golf course hard to see, which can possibly lead to eye fatigue, headaches, or even temporary blindness. Polarized sunglasses work to neutralize horizontal reflection by screening through vertical polarizing filters on the lens. This allows only part of the light waves through, so the glare is reduced drastically. A pair of polarized lenses will not only help Dad protect his eyes, but also improve his golf game!

How to choose the perfect pair…

When choosing polarized sunglasses, you should remember to take a couple of things into consideration. It is important to find a pair of glasses that are comfortable as well as trendy. Make sure the glasses are a good fit (so they won’t slip off while Dad at the tee).

You will also want to consider what color lenses to buy, because each color provides a slightly different effect. Grey happens to be the most popular color, as it does not distort color or affect contrast. Red lenses tend to enhance contrast, which can be helpful when looking at the different colors on the course. Brown and green lenses help to enhance depth perception, which may help Dad when putting.

What if Dad is not a golfer? Well, polarized sunglasses are also great for boaters and fishermen. One all-round benefit of polarized sunglasses that everyone can appreciate is how they help protect the eyes while driving.
