The CIA (Confidence In Action) is our only Titanium frame made specifically for golf.

The golf-specific ‘CIA’ is Handmade in Japan and features a feather-light, incredibly strong, titanium frame with a high definition, dye infused, LT33/ LT16 RSR lens. The lens is a decentered eight base, 33% Light Transmission wrap. This lens that actually appears to brighten and sharpen your vision on the golf course yet still provides 100% UVA and UVB at 400nm protection. The LT33/ LT16 lenses are top drill mounted eliminating 60% of the lower frame and allowing for an unobstructed view while addressing the ball. The frame also includes adjustable, oversized, soft, tacky, silicone nose pads that will keep the frames comfortably in place during the most powerful of golf swings.

When blending dyes to colorize the tint on any lens one must consider the reaction that the ‘visible light spectrum’ has on the human brain. After several attempts in blending the dyes, we feel we have found the perfect sweet spot within the visible light spectrum that will create the perfect contrast and color for the game of golf. This sweet spot will allow the player to put the Scheyden CIA’s on and keep them on during the entire round, including while performing shots in the shade of a tree. Though this is one of our more stylish Golf Specific frames it can also be worn for other activities requiring a non-polarized lens such as aviation.

 

Features:

  • Decentered, Dye infused, high-contrast, RSR (Razor Sharp Resin) Drill Mounted LT33 Lenses
  • Triple Anti Reflective, Hydrophobic, Scratch resistance, and Flash Mirror Coatings.
  • Hand-crafted, ultra-light, durable hypo allergenic titanium frame
  • Top drill mounted lenses eliminating 60% of the lower rim of the frame

    Better Vision — Given the performance and better vision offered you understand why the CIA Titaniums are one of the hottest brands in eyewear for golf.

  2. Dave M. (verified owner)

    — I love my CIA Titanium Golf Specific Sunglasses – I couldn’t believe the clarity when I first put them on. They are great in bright sunlight, as well as subdued lighting. I’ve bought many different sunglasses over the years, but these are easily my favorites.

  3. Larry Y (verified owner)

    — Awesome clarity. I never was able to wear sunglasses and golf. But after a long day on the course squinting, my eyes would be super tired. Saw an ad for these and took a chance. Great decision. Now after a round I can totally tell that my eyes feel fine. Great depth perception and brightness!

  4. Bill in NC (verified owner)

    — I love the CIA Titanium sunglasses. They fit great and offer great vision even in bright sun. I think they improve my vision and do a great job of blocking out glare and protecting my eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.

  5. Jim D (verified owner)

    — Great Sunglasses! I’m a sunglass junkie and these are my new favorite. They are very comfortable and the lenses are crystal clear. I’m going to purchase another pair with different lenses.

  6. BRIAN KATREK (verified owner)

    — So good you forget you are wearing them.

    Thank you so much!

  7. Kevin Kelly (verified owner)

    — The folks at Scheyden are amazing to work with. I?ve been researching and searching for a great lens to help with driving and golf. I?ve got drawers full of previous attempts for eye protection, sun dampening, and clear vision. Till now I?ve failed and given away most of my previous mistakes. The Scheyden glasses are fabulous but more than that, the professional service, the unexpected events in the sales process and professionalism at every touch point was great. I highly recommend the company, the product, the world class lens l/frame and cannot say enough great things about Jon and the team! Do yourself a favor and buy pair, the last brand you?ll ever need!

  8. Kent Dahlberg (verified owner)

    — I ordered a pair of Scheyden?s new golf-specific sunglasses a few weeks ago with your promotional offer. I?ve been wearing them while driving around town but finally played a full round of golf in them yesterday in a private club?s Member-Guest tournament.

    It was a hot (for New Hampshire), sunny and very windy day. The glasses worked great! Very comfortable and stable on my face, even when my skin grew moist with perspiration.

    The lenses are great ? filtering the bright sun without becoming too dark for golf when passing clouds block the sun or late afternoon when the daylight stars to soften and dim. Also, the vision is crystal clear, with no discernable distortion.

    I wear contact lenses, so I particularly appreciated the wrap-around lenses? protection from the constant stiff breeze and occasional bouts of wind. I wear contacts very well (no problems or discomfort), but I did sense my eyes stayed more moist and relaxed through five-plus hours of activity outdoors in demanding conditions.

  9. Anthony Schweppe – PGA member (verified owner)

    — The CIA glasses are amazing, the clarity and color definition are fantastic. I absolutely love them. I started playing golf again after an injury and have been wearing them daily!

  10. Kelly Gibson – PGA Tour (verified owner)

    — The sunglasses are fantastic. They have become my favorite pair. The frames are very lightweight which is great for long term wear outside (this is a great thing for Louisiana hot weather). I find that I?m not squinting even when in bright sunlight. My wife knew how much I liked them so she ended up buying me a back up pair.

  11. Robert Lopez (verified owner)

    — A friend of mine was wearing a pair, my first impression was how good they looked. I asked to try them on and was very impressed with the clarity and comfort. I had always worn Oakley?s but was never comfortable over my golf ball with my Oakley?a, I would take them off to hit a shot then put them back on. I finally have a pair of glasses that I can keep on at all times and feel that it has improved my visual confidence and comfort. Awesome pair of glasses and great looking.

  12. Renee C. (verified owner)

    — I recently got the CIA sunglasses from Scheyden. I had admired them on someone else and got a pair for myself. They are beautiful and adjustable. More importantly, they are perfect for my vision. Love them

  13. Peter Kuchar (verified owner)

    — Sunglasses for golf are not an option for me. Because of my prescription, they are essential. I have been privileged to wear state of the art sunglasses for the last decade. This past week I got a pair of CIA?s. The clarity is unparalleled. Not only are they perfect for bright sunny Florida days, they also work great on cloudy days. I?m really not surprised, because they are made by the same company that makes Club Glove luggage, the state of the art for golf travel.

  14. DeniseW (verified owner)

    — I love these sunglasses! Especially for golf. They make everything so clear and the greens just ?pop?. Makes the greens easier to read…. very comfortable to wear, you actually forget you are wearing any at all. You won?t be disappointed with these!!

  15. Mary (verified owner)

    — I have never been able to wear eye glasses during a round of golf until now. Awesome golf lenses.

  16. jlam (verified owner)

    — Omg these shades are great. I can actually see my lines now when I putt. Wish I known about them a long time ago. Must have …..

  17. Tracey (verified owner)

    — These sunglasses are the best sunglasses I have ever played golf in, and I?ve tried many different styles and lenses. The lens actually helps see the contours of the greens and has improved my ability to read putts. The frame is lightweight so you don?t feel weighted down. The only thing I would improve upon is the ear piece is hard to get just right … I have been bending the titanium frames in all different ways and still can?t get them to be 100% comfortable. A soft rubber ear piece would help improve the fit and comfort. But, I still highly recommend these glasses to every golfer.

  18. Jeff Gersh (verified owner)

    — So I just got these glasses a couple of weeks ago. I?ve played with them a number of times, most recently today. They are truly amazing. It is the only sunglass that I have been able to wear an entire around and never take them off to read a putt or hit a shot. Extremely comfortable, lightweight and great looking. Highly recommended. I can?t wait for other colored lenses so I can get another pair.

  19. Hector Haget July 2018 (verified owner)

    — These are without a doubt the best feeling sunglasses I have ever owned. I have played golf over 40 years and probably had as many sunglasses for golf. None that have matched the comfort, vision and quality of the CIA. I dont usually write reviews but these glasses are worth the investment. Looking forward to getting a 2nd pair when they launch the darker bronze lens. If youre a golfer or sport enthusiast you have to try a pair of these.

  20. Jim Kahn (verified owner)

    — I have never been able to wear sunglasses when I played golf and its been almost 30 years. They would either be uncomfortable when swinging or useless with the clarity of reading greens. It would actually hinder my swing for fear of them falling off. But these CIA’s REALLY do give you confidence when swinging AND reading greens They are very comfortable yet incredibly stable throughout the swing and I had no fear to really go after it and not once did they move during my swing so mission accomplished! Then on the greens they actually help you see the grain more clearly somehow and I actually felt more confident in my lines so I even putted better. And equally important they are cool looking which always helps your confidence too! Thanks so much guys, well done!

    Love these! — These are the most comfortable sunglasses I’ve ever had. I have trouble with wearing glasses because my nose is very sensitive. I get migraines and sometimes have sinus trouble. So heavier glasses on the bridge of my nose often give me a headache. So I LOVE these for their lightness and flexibility!

    Outstanding Comfort Meets Modern Styling —

    I have worn three different styles of Scheyden eyewear over the years, and hands down the Waylites are my favorite. The flexible temples, modern styling, high quality optics (that I expect from Scheyden) and unrivaled comfort make this the best pair of sunglasses I’ve ever owned. I opted for the upgraded mirror coating and prescription lenses and I’ve thanked myself every day since. Seriously – these are better than my Ray Ban Wayfarers, my Wayfarer 2’s, my Scheyden Panoramas (though i love the full wrap on those), and my wife’s Maui Jims. If you’re buying Scheyden because you’re tired of all the other crud on the market and considering this style – stop hesitating. DO IT and thank yourself later.

    Driving, Outdoor adventures and more! —

    I am constantly outside, working on the yard, playing sports or enjoying some sun. These glasses awesome. They so durable! Most other glasses would have broke or scratched by now. They are also my go to driving glasses because of their clarity and comfort. I highly recommend getting these glasses.

  36. Garrett (verified owner)

    A Nice Product —

    I purchased these after seeing an ad on FlightChops and I am very happy with my purchase so far. I use them for flying and the relatively thin armatures on these make it easy to put them on with a headset on. I do with they were a little tighter on my head but they still hold fine as long as I don’t do anything crazy fast head movements. Still, I would purchase Scheyden glasses again.

  37. Greg (verified owner)

    Awesome Shayd's! —

    Best sunglasses I have owned. Super comfortable and stylish. I will purchase more! Love the look– price is also affordable!

    — I love my CIA glasses. They are very comfortable to wear. No strain at all, while never missing any detail when reading my lies, hitting and green reading. Best I?ve ever worn

  40. Jeff Gersh (verified owner)

    Amazing Sunglasses — These golf specific sunglasses are the most amazing glasses I have ever worn. Can’t say enough good things about them. Hope you come out with another lens color so I can get another pair. Clarity is fantastic. Highly recommended.

  41. Frank Wisnewski (verified owner)

    — While the glass is of high quality, it seems to me the Glasses have not been designed by golfers, but airline pilots, who basically are looking more level and not straight down as golfers need to in order to hit the ball at all times. Maybe my glasses are not adjusted properly, but the 2 problems I have when looking down is the large Nose Piece Structure is in the line of sight and the material of the nose piece is slippery silicone like that results in the glasses slipping down when bending my head to make a shot, and not the rubber material in my other Golf Sun Glasses, which prevents slipping when sweating.
