Best Prescription Golf Sunglasses: Why Golfers Are Ditching Oakley for PROGEAR®
Look, we get it...
When you think "best golf sunglasses," Oakley comes to mind. But here's what changed in 2024:
PROGEAR's ProGolf™ lenses now match Oakley's legendary Prizm Golf tints—with better clarity, more features, and half the price.
After 15 years making prescription sunglasses for golf for 50,000+ athletes, we've cracked the code on what golfers actually need. And it's not a $500 logo on your temples.
Here are the 4 reasons golfers are switching:
1. Oakley-Level Lenses, Half The Price
Our ProGolf™ Rose lenses deliver the same green-reading enhancement as Oakley Prizm Golf—but with 40% thinner, optically clearer material at $229 vs their $550+.
You get:
✅ Rose-amber tint for tracking ball flight & reading break.
✅ Flash mirror coating for glare control.
✅ Full UV protection + scratch resistance (standard, not extra).
✅ Your prescription built INTO the lens (not clunky inserts that block your view).
No inserts = No visual barriers = Full field of vision for your swing
2. Read Your Scorecard Without Ruining Your Swing Vision
If you're over 45, you know the struggle: Need reading glasses for the scorecard, but traditional bifocals/progressives/varifocals put a blurry zone RIGHT where you need to see the ball.
PROGEAR's Invisible Bifocal & Smart Progressive/Varifocal options solve this:
📍 Reading zone moved LOWER (so distance vision stays clear during setup).
📍 Smaller bifocal area (just enough for scorecards, not blocking your swing).
📍 Zero visible lines (nobody knows you need readers).
Oakley doesn't offer progressives in wrap frames. Neither does anyone else. Only PROGEAR®
3. Strong Prescription? We've Got You (No Distortion Guaranteed)
We handle prescriptions up to -7/+6 in curved golf sun glasses—with a zero distortion guarantee. How?
- 20+ certified opticians manually review every order.
- Advanced lens thinning (40% thinner than standard).
- Custom curvature compensation for wrap frames.
No thick "coke bottle" lenses. No peripheral blur. Just crystal clear vision.
4. A Real Optician Checks Your Order (Before We Make It)
Here's the #1 fear buying golf glasses online: "What if I mess up my prescription or pick the wrong size?"
We eliminate that risk:
✅ 15-second AI size quiz confirms your fit.
✅ Certified optician reviews your Rx within 24 hours.
✅ We contact you if adjustments are needed BEFORE production.
Result? 92% perfect fit on first delivery. Compare that to Oakley's "no returns on custom Rx" policy.
Plus: 100-day returns (vs Oakley's 14 days), FSA/HSA eligible, free shipping.
