Pro Golfer's Sunglasses Secret: A Health Battle and a Performance Edge

Professional golfer Ben Griffin recently revealed the surprising reason he always wears sunglasses on the course: a past medical issue. In an interview, Griffin shared that he had retinal holes and underwent laser surgery to correct the problem. "I had retinal holes in both eyes," Griffin explained, "so I was at risk of losing vision." The surgery was successful, but he still experiences floaters. The sunglasses, he says, help to reduce the visibility of these floaters and improve his ability to read the greens. Griffin specifically uses Uswing Mojing sunglasses, a brand he says is popular among professional golfers. "The science behind them helps with green reading," he stated. Griffin's story highlights the importance of eye health and the lengths professional athletes go to maintain their performance. It also shines a light on a lesser-known aspect of professional golf.
