| Could it be the dreaded JMS (Jim McMahon Syndrone). It must have struck
Robt Gamez as well. He looks to goofy wearing those cycling glasses.

I got the impression Fuzzy's reason was medical, hence the note.
Gamez I think has a contract with Oakley. Why? Did you notice he
switched glasses during the playoff. He went from sun glasses to a
orange tint that will help with the low light. The commentators even
made comments about it getting to dark for the glasses.

Did Gamez switch glasses, or have photochromatic lenses? A contract
with Oakley might have prevented him from taking them off. Maybe it was
the combination of sunglasses and setting sun which caused him to hit
those two fat approach shots during the playoff. I've heard that some
volleyball players are sponsored by sunglass companies and wear their
glasses during interviews, but not during a game, and instead wear an
armband with the company's name.
I don't know why more pros don't wear some sort of eye protection.
They're out in the sun for long amounts of time, and prolonged exposure
to UV rays has been linked to eye problems.

Hi,
(The clocks go back in two weeks time, and we'll soon be playing
golf again over here.)
Several professional cricketers here in the U.K. are wearing
Oakley sunglasses during full test matches. It may well do their
eyes a lot of good, but they also get an awful lot of money to
wear them during a game.
I don't have Oakley's, but I have played a few rounds in my
Varuanet ski glasses. They certainly give me a far sharper view
of the course. But its not the done thing, playing golf in
shades. Or am I just old fashioned ?

| 1649.5 | UV Protection ?? | CGOOA::DURNIN | Jim - Unum Cum Virtuitous Multorum | Thu Mar 18 1993 15:01 | 20 |
| Hi,
I think Gamez switched glass or lenses as well. I noticed on the
18th (second playoff hole) that the lenses were yellow and you could
see his eyes which you couldn't do before.
I know of others who were the yellow lenses when light is dim or during
white out ski conditions.
Anyone have any further info on UV light and your eyes. I currently
wear Photo-chromatic lenses that change color, but I don't believe the
cut out UV radiation.
Are there glasses available to do this and how much are they approx.
Thanks in Advance,
Jim

I wear prescription glasses with Photo-Gray Extra lenses. They claim
to filter out 98% of UV radiation.
