I recently went for my semi-annual appointment with my eye care professional, Dr. Mike Rotholz. I asked him about the new Nike MaxSight contact lenses by Bausch and Lomb. He gave me a free trial pair, and I’ve been using them for my golf rounds the last two weeks.

They’re awesome! The golf version enhances the green and red portions of the visual spectrum to make it easier to read the putting surface and see the ball. They also reduce glare from the sun and contrast between shade and non-shade.

Obviously they don’t actually make the shot on your behalf, but being able to easily read the green definitely helps with visualizing the putt so that it will actually go in! Since wearing these I’ve made some long putts that seemed easy because I could actually see the path to take. Given that I play a lot of golf these lenses are cheaper than good sunglasses and worth the investment in terms of being able to see better and shoot lower scores!
