Do you need bi-focals for golf Dave?
I would have thought a standard pair would be fine and it's not as if you miss any fairways to have go and look for the ball.
I am 44, and my eye sight has deteriorated recently, in as much as I now near bi-focals. I am already shortsighted, but can't read with my glasses anymore
what will this do golf, and how can I get around it? I assume that looking down on a ball when I'm putting with glasses that are split won't be easy!!
I must add I am a fine fit handsome specimen of a man apart from this

Easy, I have prescription trifocal sunglasses that I simply put on top of my cap when I hit the ball. I really only use them to look at the UPro details.Originally Posted by dave.

You'll be needing one of these....
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I hear UST do white shafts.
I didn't think you hit it far enough to lose sight of it Dave. As for the short putts a blur is all I ever see anyway.
Doctors say that you should eat 5 pieces of fruit or veg a day to remain healthy. Last week I ate 5 mouldy plums and that night I shat the bed. What's healthy about that? :shocked::shocked::shocked:
My dad has a similar problem. He had his optometrist custom grind a set of glasses that put the focus of his prescription more towards the bottom of his glasses, so when he looks down on a ball at address it is in focus. He seems to like them.

I went route of Lasix surgery and then reading glasses when needed. I'm happy. Bifocals and contacts were a very uncomfortable compromise.

Do not attempt to play golf in bifocals. I tried it doesn't work, the ball isn't where you think it is.
Get a separate pair of single vision glasses and you'll be much happier.
It must be awful to have to work for a living.
I have the same challange. Single vision with brown transitions are the answer. And NO WAY did bifocals work for me. (By the way, an inexpensive way to try single visions - go to www.greateyeglasses.com.
Side note - no affiliation with these guys.

Also dave., take care to try the frames in the optometrist's office before you buy them. Take your golf stance and be sure that the rims of the lenses are big enough for you to see the whole ball and not not cut it half. I made that mistake with one pair.

Its not hitting balls that bothers me, its putting, I am sure that either the frame or the line across the lense will interfere
My lenses don't have lines. Hit some putts, you'll get used to it.
