I can't imagine throwing with sunglasses on. Of course, I never wear glasses anyway but I would imagine it would be terribly distracting.

I found a pair of those yellow tinted shooting glasses before a round one time and i then proceeded to shoot one of the best rounds of my life with them on. it makes nature pop so well that you get a great mental image of your path. i might try that again.

I bit the bullet this year and invested in some $300+ prescription polarized sunglasses. Definately worth it. They are very comfortable when throwing and help looking for discs in the shallow water in the lake. When I go into the thick shule, I do need to take them off to see better.

You have to get a pair that's comfortable and doesn't shift on your face. Get the right pair and you'll forget you're even wearing them.

I used to live in Florida and work on a Deep Sea Charter boat so I always had a pair of Costa Del Mar. If you know anything about fishing or water sports you know that you cant get any better than Costas. They are the most polarized and most well built glasses I have EVER had. I still found myself taking them off to throw into the sun, look for discs in the weeds and woods. Although...when someone threw one in the water I could be the only one to spot it. I highly recommend Costas for anything, You will fall truely in love with them! I had the black Triple Tail with green 580 Lenses<3

My sight hasn't changed in a few years, so I used my bi-annual insurance allotment on a pair of sunglasses...got them coated and polarized. Yay! Then again, those of us who always wear glasses...it doesn't bother us obviously. I keep my regulars in the bag to swap out when I get in the woods.

This, I have a black pair of Arnette's and a amber pair. Both polarized. I love the amber ones. It's like everything is more vibrant and it sometimes helps to see a disc pop out from it's surroundings.

But in the woods where it's shady you'll still have to take them off sometimes. Unfortuantely I don't think you can get away with taking them out when it's darker in the woods than in the sun.

Me wearing glasses would really put off the badass vibe my glorious hair gives, not really acceptable .

I wear prescription sunglasses with polarization when disc golfing.

When I get a new pair of glasses every year or two, I have them turn my old pair into sunglasses. They simply tint and polarize the lenses and I get prescription sunglasses at a great price. You could probably take any pair of old prescription glasses to any eye doctor and get them tinted and/or polarized.

I don't have any problem seeing in the shade or deep woods -with or without the polarization. I am so near-sighted that if I took my glasses off, I wouldn't be able to see my toes. The only problem with polarized lenses is you have to tilt your head to see most LCD displays, including vehicle displays, gas pumps or the ATM.

Something to consider when using polarized glasses while looking for discs is that if you're looking for the reflection or shine of the sun off the surface of your discs (which is a big give away to where my discs are hiding for me) Polarized lenses are specifically designed/oriented to block THAT particular polarization of light. So yeah, take them off while searching.
