Golfers spend a lot of time outdoors. Special attention is therefore needed to protect their eyes from an extended exposure to the sun and the wind.
Wind and the dirt and debris carried by it may cause irritation of the eye. What is worse is the prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiations are known to cause cataracts at 300 to 380 nanometers. Protection from UV radiation up to 400 nanometers is recommended for complete blockage of ultraviolet light. Most sunglasses do not cover this range.
The actual amount of UV rays reaching a golfer's eye is increased by the reflections from the earth's surface of Ping K15 Driver and presence of clouds and haze. However, dark clouds may actually reduce the amount of radiation. UV protection is almost 17 times as much more necessary in the winter and spring as it is in the summer. It is almost 10 times more necessary at noon than during other hours of the day. As we go higher, the radiation is also increased to the extent of 16% for every 1000 meters above sea level.
