Anybody Using Callaway Golf Eyewear ?
Callaway Golf says ” Today baby boomers are realizing that their vision isn’t the same as it was when they were younger. As a result, the need for reading glasses is on a steady increase.
There are more than 76 million baby boomers–those born between the years of 1946 and 1964. In addition to baby boomers, people getting LASIK Surgery to correct their farsighted vision - Myopia - still need to wear reading glasses for their nearsighted vision - Presbyopia, all resulting in a need for a more fashionable high-end reading glass.
“People don’t want to buy the drug store reading glasses that their grand parents wear”. “They are looking for something more hip, more fashionable,” said Marcel Schiro, VP Sales and Marketing of Callaway Golf Eyewear. No more carrying that big bulky pair of reading glasses for the past 18 holes writing in your score on your scorecard. The patented, Callaway Golf Eyewear Scorecard Reader, folds conveniently into a case—smaller than your average cell phone
I started to use reading glasses a couple of months ago and I’m not sure if I’ll have to wear them on the golf course yet.
If I have to, these look a heckuva lot better than any I’ve seen in my local retail stores, that’s for sure.
Has anybody ever worn golf eyewear while they played ?
I’m afraid it will mess up my ball striking, which needs no help in being bad !

I wear Callaway sunglasses. After talking to the glasswear lady where I had my lasik surgery, Callaway rates pretty high for quality. The only brands she rated higher are Maui Jim and something called Revo.
She said that Calaway’s tinting was excellent, but the material still allowed for a bit of distortion.
For a reasonably priced pair of sunglasses, the Callaway’s are more than adequate to play golf in. She said that the Maui Jim and Revo glasses use a more high tech material (something developed by NASA) that has almost no distortion and also has an anti-glare coating - something I always got when I wore regular glasses. But you are going to pay several hundred dollars for a pair of Maui Jim or Revo glasses.
Wow ! Thanks Courtney !
Nothing beats an account from someone who’s actually using a product.
We appreciate your time and effort for sharing that with us.
Come back soon !
I was recently at the PGA show in Orlando. The Callaway glasses are nice, and reasonably priced. The lenses, while they are not polarized like the Maui Jims, do the job. Adidas has a line for 2008. The technology they are touting is called LST. The unique Light Stabilizer technology harmonizes the effect of strain from going from light to dark quickly. The LST lens lights up what you see, thanks to a special color mix and offers super contrasting as well. I will be trying the adidas out soon. I also have to mention that Peak Vision does make a nice lens specifically for golf. I just don’t care for their styles.
Thanks for stopping in and taking time to comment, Kevin.
We appreciate your addition to the conversation.
Come back soon !
