Optical Prescriptions and Golf | Golf Monthly

I have similar dilemma to you. Wear varifocal glasses but prefer single vision glasses or contacts for golf.
I have some single vision glasses and sunglasses which I use at times but in the main now wear contacts for golf. My prescription prevents me from using the latest varifocal contact lenses.

I discussed the requirements with my optician as I too struggle to read my watch etc with my lenses in. Rather than carry reading gases to check my scorecard, GPS watch etc I now use different strength contacts, with my left one weaker so it allows me to read.

Funnily enough I did just use one lens in my dominant right eye for some time, Its strange how you brain adjusts and allows you to see OK despite only one eye being clear for distance.

I'd chat to your optician. I tried a few different strengths before getting a compromise that I was happy with.
