535s Sports Optics is a Charlotte, North Carolina based company that manufactures a golf specific proprietary and patent pending lens technology that filters out red and blue light in the color spectrum, while allowing green light in. The result is a heightened level of contrast and visual acuity which enhances not only the surface of the putting green but the entire course. 535s lenses provide UV and IR protection and have an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and enable you to track your ball flight and see the flag-stick better. Sunglass styles are available in both Titanium and plastic with both a dark and light green lens option.
"We are very excited about partnering with 535s Sport Optics. We feel their recent expansion in the golf market will only lead to a win-win situation for all," said NGA/Hooters Tour President Robin L. Waters. "This partnership will enable our players to have even more accessibility to some of the newest products on the market."
