Is it your swing… or is it your eyes? ⛳👀
Golf performance relies on far more than just 20/20 vision. From the tee box to the green, your visual system plays a critical role in how well you read the course and strike the ball.
Driving requires:
• Accurate depth perception to make clean contact
• Good glare control to track the ball against a bright sky
Putting depends on:
• Fine detail detection
• Depth perception to judge the distance to the hole
• Contrast sensitivity to read the slopes and contours of the green
The right eyewear can make a real difference on the course. Brown or amber tints can enhance contrast between the ball, grass and sky, while polarized lenses help reduce glare. Wrap-around frames can also provide a wider field of view.
At VDM Optometrists, we help golfers optimize their vision with precise refraction and sport-specific lens recommendations. Because sometimes improving your game starts with seeing the course more clearly.
