Why NOT to use Polarized Lenses for Golfing

While polarized lenses may be popular for other outdoor activities, they are not ideal for golfing. Here’s why:

Distorted Perception of Depth and Distance: Polarized lenses can make it difficult to gauge the distance and depth of objects, which is critical in golfing.

Interference with Reading Greens: The polarization filter on the lenses can hinder your ability to read greens accurately, affecting your putting game.

Reduced Contrast and Color Perception: Polarized lenses reduce glare by limiting the amount of light that enters your eyes. However, this also diminishes color contrast and perception, making it harder to spot subtle changes in terrain and obstacles on the course

Difficulty Seeing Ball Flight: When tracking the flight of your ball, polarized lenses can make it harder to see the white ball against a bright sky or background.

Polarized lenses should be banned by golfers - here's why!

Traditional polarized lenses reduce glare, they can also diminish the subtle variations in color that golfers rely on to read greens and identify changes in gradients. JONDO's spectral filtration effectively reduces glare without compromising color perception.
