Back on the Green: ALTIUS® Vision Elevates Golf Performance

In golf, every edge counts—but one of the most underrated tools in a player’s game is their vision.

In the early 2000s, Nike MAXSIGHT™ Contact Lenses introduced athletes to a new frontier in visual performance. Designed to reduce glare and enhance both visual clarity and contrast, these performance lenses reshaped the way athletes saw sport.

Though discontinued, MAXSIGHT™ left a legacy. Today, it’s not just being revived—it’s being redefined by next-gen technology.

Meet ALTIUS® Grey-Green: daily disposable, FDA-cleared, performance-tinted contact lenses built on foundational performance vision research—engineered to enhance visual comfort, clarity and contrast in diverse and challenging environments.  

The game-changing link between vision and golf

Every shot, every read, every putt—it starts with how you SEE. In golf, vision isn’t just an asset—it’s a foundation.

Visual clarity and contrast are critical—for every shot, and especially when reading contours on the green, and staying focused through 18 holes of shifting light and terrain.

On course study with high level golfers wearing the same Grey-Green tint incorporated into Nike MAXSIGHT™ conducted by Pacific University researchers in 2006 showed perceived improvements in  visual comfort, glare control, green-reading ability, and overall performance—factors that can make or break results, especially under pressure.

ALTIUS® advances those same visual goals—now with a single-use, daily disposable format designed for today’s competitive and convenience-driven athlete.

ALTIUS® Grey-Green lenses are purpose-built for golfers:

  • 38% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) – Engineered to enhance visual comfort, clarity and contrast.
  • Reduces visual interference and improves clarity by minimizing straylight scattering and lens reflections.
  • Reduces chromatic aberration by 53%—minimizing visual distortions, leading to reduced visual fatigue.
  • By eliminating peripheral light leakage and frame interference, ALTIUS® lenses expand visual fields—42% wider binocular visual fields vs. sunglasses.
  • Blocks 100% of UV and 99+% of blue light – protecting light-sensitive retinal pathways and supporting photoprotection.
  • Single-use daily disposable format – delivering fresh, hygienic lenses with consistent visual comfort and optical performance.

Vision Gear = Performance Gains: See Better, Play Better with ALTIUS®

Golfers invest thousands in clubs, balls, and apparel—but often neglect the most vital tool in their game: Vision.

With ALTIUS®, you’re not just protecting your eyes—you’re sharpening focus, enhancing contrast, and cutting glare, all through a performance-tinted lens that moves with your game.

Even patients without refractive error can benefit from ALTIUS®. In fact, more than 72% of ALTIUS® lenses sold are plano—zero power—because exceptional vision isn’t just about seeing well; it’s about performing at your best.

REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.

"ALTIUS Performance-Tinted Contact Lenses help me read the greens better and give me more confidence when standing over my putt.  In addition, I LOVE that when I wear the ALTIUS tinted contact lenses I don't have to squint while on the course. I no longer need to worry about where I put my sunglasses."

Faser Horn, OD, FAAO, Co-Founder of Sports Vision Pros

"I NEVER golf without my ALTIUS Grey-Green Lenses. They allow me to see the course, especially the Greens, stress-free and in "HD" whether its clear or overcast, in glare or in shadow. Sunglasses were unstable, fogged and always smudged ... and they distorted my vision, so I often just left them in the cart. The Grey-Green tint is so relaxing ... with ALTIUS I now end my round as fresh as I started it."

Debra Reichow, Retired School Teacher & Coach
