Since golf, as well as other sports performance is very dependant on the information you gather with your visual system, the way the information is processed by the optical device has enormous impact on the outcome of your endeavor.
Do you enjoy a good round of golf? Do you play several rounds a week or only infrequently? Are you a three handicap or just a duffer? Are you looking for a possible way to take a few strokes off your game? No, I'm not going to suggest an oversized club head, graphite shafts and some high compression balls. These things may be of help, but what about going right to the source - the player. If you are wearing eyeglasses during your game, you are not getting your maximum visual performance.
The natural quality of vision that contact lenses provide makes their use for sports such as golf a more appropriate means to correct vision. Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism or even need bifocals, the correction of your vision with contact lenses will provide superior visual performance over glasses. In addition to the peripheral distortions that glasses create, they also tend to interfere with proper head positioning while hitting.
Many people believe that they cannot wear contact lenses, have been told that they would not do well in contacts or have even previously failed in contacts. The advanced contact lens technology available today allows difficult prescriptions to be successfully addressed, and even previous contact lens failures can do remarkably well.
Although contact lenses will absolutely improve your visual performance this will not guarantee less strokes in your game. However, of the countless golfers I have taken out of glasses and fit into contact lenses, all of them have reported an improvement in their game, and would never play in glasses again. Several of these individuals attributed a decrease in their score to the better vision they now have with their contacts. One gentleman who plays golf about four times a week, took nine strokes off his game within two weeks of being successfully fitted with contact lenses!
In any sport, the overall performance of the individual is the sum development of many facets of the game. Visual perception is one of the facets in the game of golf.
