Overview

• Ben Griffin disclosed that he began seeing floaters about a year ago and was diagnosed with retinal holes requiring laser surgery to prevent detachment.
• Although the procedure halted progression, he continues to experience floaters and uses sunglasses to reduce their impact during play.
• At 7-under par after three rounds at Muirfield Village, the 29-year-old sits one stroke behind leader and defending champion Scottie Scheffler.
• Some fans have criticized Griffin’s eyewear as a style choice, despite his insistence that the sunglasses are medically necessary.
• While golfers like Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler often wear sunglasses, Griffin’s vision-driven use remains uncommon on the PGA Tour.
