The nice part about them is that if I have to, i can drive at night with them on lighted roads
as I have a license restriction for must wear glasses. . .

however, if they are progressives, some people can't golf with them. I adapted to the progressives instantly and golf with them. However, I have noticed lately that progressives lining up puts causes me issues because of my astigmatism. .

If you have one eye near and one eye far, then glasses can wreak havoc between looking down and looking up when hitting the ball.
My wife has this issue, and has trouble golfing with glasses. . .

so there are many vision issues with golfing and glasses or not
Fully understand. Had LASIK that worked *wonderfully* for 25 years with zero drop-off in vision. Then, suddenly, oops. Weird. Had no idea that could happen. Turns out that previous LASIK surgery then complicates cataract surgery. It's always "something". :-)

The astigmatism issue is what reminded me about the LASIK - which also fixed my astigmatism. Tried contact lenses prior to the LASIK but it left the tennis balls appearing quite oblong-appearing in shape. The LASIK also took care of the fogging of the glasses problem under the lights in the winter. Could deal with just thumbing the sweat off the glasses lenses between points. :-)

Shall not bore you with the glaucoma issues. :-) Currently (apparently) under control.
