In order to keep healthy, I like outdoor activities very much. But there is a problem: the sun light sometimes make the acctivities impossible, or we can not perform very well under strong sun light. For example, people playing golf may have the experience when their games are interrupted by sunshine, it is really disappointing when they can not even see the holes. In similar cases, transitions glasses be very useful. I like discount transition glasses.

Why don't I wear sunglasses? Well, I wear regular glasses, and I can't find sunglasses to fit over my regular glasses without making me look like my late grandmother when she went out for a Sunday drive. And, frankly, prescription sunglasses are far too expensive for the limited utility they would provide.

Recently, though, I was clued in to the flexibility and practicality of Transitions lenses. These are the prescription lenses that darken automatically in response to UV rays and lighten back up again when you go inside. So I decided to try them as a solution to my late-day golfing woes.

I've played several rounds now with my discount transition glasses and have been generally impressed.

When it comes to reading the greens, the darker lenses don't seem to hurt or help - basically, I can't tell any difference either way. And when the round is over, and it's time to hit the 19th hole, the lenses lighten up completely within a couple of minutes, which doesn't bother me personally at all. (Years spent in dimly lit dives have apparently inured me to temporary murkiness.)

They allow me to keep an eye on my ball in all but the most blinding conditions, which makes my late-day round far more enjoyable. Even when not facing the sun, I seem to be able to follow my ball against the blue sky much more accurately, cutting down considerably on time spent stomping through the rough.

The one downside to Transitions lenses comes on partly cloudy days, when stretches of bright sun are broken up by sudden walls of thick, fast-moving clouds. On one such day, I stood addressing my ball when gray clouds passed overhead. Suddenly, it was hard to see my ball. It felt like a Biblical plague of darkness, and I began looking around for locusts or frogs. Well, not quite. But I did have to step away from my ball and let my eyes get used to the shade (and allow the lenses to lighten up a bit).

Transition lenses are not only good for golf. They are for many different outdoor activities. I like discount transition glasses. Not expensive, but very practical. They give me a better outdoor life.
