What makes the Golf HD+ lens different from a standard sunglass lens?

It uses a copper-rose tint developed with ZEISS to boost contrast on the green, track the ball against the sky and sharpen depth perception. A Blue Refresh mirror coating adds glare control and blocks over 90% of harsh blue light.

Why is the lens non-polarized?

Non-polarized lenses keep cart GPS screens and phone displays readable and help preserve depth perception on the course. The trade-off is less glare relief than a polarized lens away from golf.

Will these fit my head?

The TR-90 frame has integrated spring hinges that flex to fit a wide range of head shapes, and soft rubber nose and temple pads grip without slipping.

Are the lenses good for bright, hazy days?

Yes. The Blue Refresh coating cuts glare and blocks over 90% of harsh visible blue light, and the lens provides 100% UV400 protection.

How do I keep the lenses clean?

The lens carries anti-moisture, anti-fog, anti-smudge, anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings, so wipe with a clean cloth and store in a case to protect the coatings.

Is this a good everyday sunglass too?

It is built for golf. The copper-rose tint and square-rectangle full-rim shape are tuned for the course, so a neutral everyday pair may suit off-course wear better.

Our take on the Forte [Golf HD+]

The Forte Golf HD+ is RIA Eyewear's top-selling golf sunglass, a full-rim square-rectangle frame with ZEISS-developed lens technology. The copper-rose Golf HD+ lens boosts contrast on the green, tracks the ball against the sky and sharpens depth perception, while a Blue Refresh mirror coating cuts glare and blocks over 90% of harsh blue light. It is non-polarized on purpose, so cart GPS screens and phone displays stay readable. TR-90 frame, spring hinges and rubber nose and temple pads keep it steady through a swing. It suits golfers who want a dedicated on-course lens rather than a general-purpose sunglass, and it competes with sport-specific golf shades on lens tuning and fit rather than on style versatility.

About the Forte [Golf HD+]

Forte [Golf HD+] is a pair of golf sunglasses from RIA Eyewear with a classic full-rim, square-rectangle frame. The Golf HD+ lens was developed in collaboration with ZEISS. It has a copper-rose tint made to enhance contrast on the green, improve ball tracking against the sky and sharpen depth perception in varying course conditions.

A blue mirror coating called Blue Refresh cuts glare and blocks over 90% of harsh visible blue light. This reduces eye strain over 18 holes without darkening the view. The lens is non-polarized, so it works with cart GPS screens and phone displays without interference. It also helps maintain proper depth perception on the course.

The frame is made from TR-90, a lightweight, durable thermoplastic. Integrated spring hinges flex to fit a wide range of head shapes. Soft rubber nose and temple pads grip without slipping during the swing.
