Sun Glasses: Test and Review / September, 2004
Over
the past couple of years during our travels to many golf
product shows around the country GolfTest USA has seen a
lot of different models of sun glasses. We found one company
in particular that caught our interest. That company is
Melanin Vision Center. We often get requests from golfers
asking our advice on which sunglasses would be good to use
while playing golf. We have never done any testing on sunglasses
so we decided to ask Melanin Vision Center if they would
be interested in providing GolfTest USA with 25 pair of
sunglasses that we would distribute to golfers and then
have them offer their evaluation on several criteria that
we felt were important to golfers. Melanin Vision Center
promotes their sunglasses as having many benefits that are
not found in ordinary sunglasses so we also asked the golfers
to give us feedback on several of the claims made by them.
We had 25 golfers use the Melanin sun glasses for two months
during their rounds of golf. They were also encouraged to
use them during other everyday activities. We then had them
rate several criteria on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being
best). Following is the summary of the results.
(1) Quality: Averaged an excellent 8.8
(2) Appearance and Style: scored a 7.9
(3) Durability: was an impressive 8.7
(4) Comfort: averaged an 8.1
(5) Fit: scored an 8.0
(6) Eased eye strain: received an 8.5
(7) Preserved color: rated an 8.3
(8) Reduce glare: averaged a strong 8.6
(9) Overall Rating: was a very solid 8.6
Many
of the golfers who participated in the test made comments
indicating that wearing the Melanin sun glasses helped them
play better golf. After reviewing the test results GolfTest
USA feels that the Melanin sun glasses are quality sun glasses
whose protection, appearance, fit, and durability makes
these sun glasses a good value for golfers who want to play
better golf and improved protection from the sun’s
harmful effects.
 We
have awarded Melanin sun glasses GolfTest USA's "Seal
Of Excellence".
