Bolle Prescription Troost Sunglasses on the Fairway

I know that you can get specially colored sports contact lenses that allow you to play better in sports such as baseball or golf by helping you to see the ball better against sky and/or grass. Can you buy Bolle Prescription Troost sunglasses with special lenses that do the same thing? What color would be best for playing baseball? You’d need something to let you see the ball against the blue of the sky as well as the green grass.

Let's see what kind of information I can get from this Internet thingy.

"Dark amber, copper or brown . . . blocks high amounts of blue light to heighten contrast and visual acuity. Particularly useful to improve contrast on grass and against blue skies."

"Green . . . heightens contrast (mildly) while preserving color balance."

"Green tints filter some blue light and reduce glare, while offering high contrast and visual sharpness. Shades of green also tend to reduce eyestrain in bright light. Choose green for precision sports such as tennis, baseball and golf."

"Amber and brown tints reduce glare and block blue light, giving them the ability to brighten vision on cloudy days. By blocking blue light, these tints increase contrast and visual acuity, especially against green and blue backgrounds such as grass and sky. Choose amber and brown tints for fishing, baseball, golf, hunting, cycling, and water sports."

"Baseball, Football, Soccer, and other outdoor action sports
(grey/smoke, or brown/amber)"

So it looks like amber, brown and green are our MVPs.

Thank you Starr. Your information was a little bit redundant (Mentioning green, amber and brown twice.) but overall it was informative and interesting.

Did I mention some tints twice? Sorry about that. I'm glad you still found the information useful, though.

Very funny, Captain. You're regular Jerry Seinfeld, aren't you?
