No, they have never slipped. Even when I've got my head down over the ball, they're perfect.

Stays put, even with your head down over the ball
Two fits for different nose bridges, so the frame stays where you put it. The lens sits off your cheeks, so air circulates as you warm up, and there is a tint for every tee time.

What golfers say
Real Hogies customers, in their own words.
The brown tinted ones are my favourite. They help me distinguish the different parts of the green.
Sarah, golfer (wearing Adult size)
I do not notice I am wearing them. Really great.
James, golfer (wearing Adult size)
A tint for every tee time
Choose the tint for the light you play in most. Every tint comes in both fits.
Brown, for most rounds
Adds contrast and definition, which helps you pick out the ball against the sky and read changes across the green.
Vermillion, for flat light
Sharpens detail for tracking the ball without heavily darkening your view.
Grey, for bright sun
Cuts brightness evenly while keeping colours natural.
Sodium Yellow, for early and late light
Increases contrast in dull light while keeping colours fairly natural. Not made for midday sun.
Find your fit in three steps
1
Choose your fit
EyeGuard Sports comes in two fits for different nose bridges. One suits a lower nose bridge and higher cheekbones and holds the frame higher. The other suits a higher nose bridge. Neither is the default, and both are the same price. Our nose bridge guide shows how to tell which suits you.
2
Squeeze once, only if you need to
If the lens touches your cheeks when you first try the glasses on, squeeze the bridge once. A metal insert holds the new position.
3
Let the air move
The lens sits off your cheeks, so as your body heats up, air circulates behind it. At 26 grams, Adult is light enough to forget about immediately.
UV and glare, kept separate
UV400 on every lens
All EyeGuard Sports lenses are UV400, whatever the tint. UV protection and glare control are separate jobs.
Glare is handled by tint density
Our grey lenses are 85% density and our brown lenses are 65% density, so you can choose how much light comes through for the day you play. Some golfers like the Grey Revo Mirror (Adult size) for extra glare reduction.
Not polarised, on purpose
Polarised lenses alter depth perception. A polarising filter cuts reflected light, and on a green, some of that reflected light is the sheen that shows you which way the grain runs.
Do you wear prescription glasses?
"I wear prescription glasses, so I used to play golf with my prescription sunglasses. Which, look it was okay, but they slipped and they fogged. So needless to say, I found the answer." Sarah, golfer

Golf sunglasses questions
What lens colour helps you see the golf ball?
Brown adds contrast and definition, which helps you pick out the ball against the sky and read changes across the green. In overcast or flat light, vermillion sharpens detail for tracking the ball without heavily darkening your view. Grey cuts brightness evenly on very bright days, and Sodium Yellow suits early, late and dull light, not midday sun.
What is the difference between Low Bridge (Asian) Fit and Regular Fit?
They are two fits for different nose bridges. Low Bridge (Asian) Fit suits a low nose bridge and higher cheekbones and holds the frame higher so the lens stays off your cheeks. Regular Fit suits a higher nose bridge. Neither is the default, and both are the same price. Our nose bridge guide shows how to tell which suits you.
How do I know they will stay put when I look down at the ball?
Put the glasses on, look down sharply as if at a ball at your feet and do not touch the frame. If the frame moves, the size or the bridge is wrong. If the lens touches your cheeks when you first try them on, squeeze the bridge once and the metal insert holds the new position.
What size should I choose?
Most adults wear Adult, which is 139mm temple to temple and 26 grams. Kids is 130mm and 24 grams, for junior golfers and smaller facial profiles. Large Adult is 150mm and 31 grams, for very wide heads only. The size guide walks through the measurements.
Can I wear them with a prescription?
EyeGuard Sports is not designed to go over prescription glasses. The EyeGuard RX Prescription Insert clips into the frame, so your own prescription sits inside your sports glasses. It fits Adult and Large Adult, in both fits. Reference lenses are included for your optometrist, or Hogies can organise the prescription lenses for you.
Are the lenses polarised?
No, and that is deliberate. Polarised lenses alter depth perception, and a polarising filter cuts reflected light. On a green, some of that reflected light is the sheen that shows you which way the grain runs. All EyeGuard Sports lenses are UV400.
What's the warranty and return policy?
EyeGuard Sports carries a 6-month warranty against manufacturing faults. Change of mind returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt, unused and in the condition you received them.
How much do they cost?
EyeGuard Sports is $44 in Adult, Kids and Large Adult, in every tint, with $5.50 standard shipping in Australia.
Who's behind this
Designed by a family that has done this for sixty years
My dad, Martin, started his optical practice, Martin X Hogan Pty Ltd, in Melbourne in the 1960s. He designed anti-glare eyewear that NASA's own astronauts wore on Apollo 12 and Apollo 15.
I joined the family business in the late 1980s, and I've carried that same standard forward ever since, through dental clinics and into sport. EyeGuard Sports carries it too: two fits for different nose bridges, made to stay where you put them.
