Glasses - what do you recommend?

I generally don't like wearing sunglasses, especially on the golf course - I just feel like it dulls everything - shapes, lines, contours, etc.
However, my sissy eyes have gotten pretty sensitive to glare - most noticeable while I'm standing over and looking at the ball on a bright day.
Anybody have a good recommendation as to a brand/lens color that would work best reducing glare without overly tinting everything? (won't be wearing while putting).

These aren’t “golf sunglasses”, but I use them because of the titanium frame and super light lens. Also the clearest lenses I’ve ever used. The Oakley Flak Jackets have always been popular for golf, had a pair of those forever, these are far better. Feels like I’m wearing nothing and the tint is not overly dark. They don’t slip down my nose either.
If you don’t like that style, maybe find another frame with the same lightweight lens.

I was gifted a pair of Peak Vision glasses. Not that impressed to be honest. It was a nice gesture as a gift, but I wouldn't buy them for myself.

I've got a pair of Maui Jims that I sometimes wear while playing. They are extremely light, and I wear them all the time for everyday use off the course. On the course, I strongly prefer my Oakley Flak 2.0 XL with the Prizm Dark golf lenses. Of course, that lens is available in other frame styles to suit your preference. It's a really good golf lens that definitely enhances color and contrast.

I wear a pair of Oakley Holbrooks.. I did replace the lenses with some lenses from a company called Fuse. They’ve been really solid.

I wear MJ’s everyday, but I have “golf specific” Oakleys that I use strictly for golf, even keep them in a case in my bag. Polarized, and tremendous contrast lenses…

Polarized for golf is no bueno. Affects depth perception

Unless you like excessive glare, be my guest.
The high contrast lens gives plenty depth perception, the polarized lens blocks the glare. Best of both worlds for my eyes…

Seems like there’s some middle ground to be occupied here… Wear them for 95% of the day to cut out the glare and reduce eye strain, then take them off for a minute to read the green.

Exactly this.. it’s what I do especially if it’s a green I’m not used to playing

I got a prescription pair. Cared less about the tint than their staying on my face no matter how hard I swing.
Is it affecting my reads? I can’t tell if it is, I’m usually pretty close on them

As for best sunglasses for glare you cant beat a cheap pair of Condor or Pyramex dark safety glasses from Grainger. Less than $5. This type curves around your peripheral vision without blocking it.
Most people got to have better style though. I have both.
I also have some really good Renegades I picked up in the Fishing dept at Walmart. Boating glasses are real good for glare.

Been wearing glasses for golf a long time. The only thing that works for me is Transitions lenses in a high to medium rake sunglass frame.

As an early convert to wearing sunglasses on the golf course, I find them to be the exact opposite- my depth perception improved with polarized lenses.
I wore Oakleys for years as a professional golfer and now I wear Shady Rays polarized lenses in a Half Jacket-esque style.

Roka.com with photochromic lens. I'm a very active person and this is the best set of frames I've ever put on my face.
