Can You Claim the Warranty After a Lens Crack from Travel?
Traveling with your prescription sports glasses can sometimes be a risky endeavor. Whether you’re heading to a tournament, a vacation, or a quick business trip, your eyewear can suffer unexpected damage — especially lens cracks from suitcase pressure, rough TSA handling, or heat exposure. If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I claim the warranty after a lens crack from travel?”, you’re in the right place. At Blinded Wear, we understand the importance of durable, reliable RX glasses that keep up with your active lifestyle. That’s why we offer an unlimited lifetime RX warranty that covers lens cracks — including those caused by travel.
Understanding Blinded Wear’s Unlimited Lifetime RX Warranty
Our unlimited lifetime warranty is designed specifically to give athletes and active users peace of mind. It covers lens cracks from everyday wear and tear — including damage sustained during travel. This means if your lenses crack due to TSA handling, pressure from a tightly packed suitcase, or heat exposure during your trip, you are covered.
Unlike other warranties that require proof of damage or complicated paperwork, our process is hassle-free. You don’t need to prove how or when the damage happened, making it easier and faster to get your glasses replaced.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Claim Your Warranty
- Contact Blinded Wear Customer Support: Reach out to us via our Contact Page or email our support team describing your lens damage.
- Send Your Damaged Glasses: Ship the cracked RX glasses back to us. We cover lens cracks on all our RX sports glasses including popular models like the Runway RX, Steel Ice RX, and Havana Melt RX.
- Receive a 50% Credit Toward Replacement: Once we receive your damaged glasses, you’ll get a 50% credit toward a new pair of your choice, such as the Blue Shield RX or the Red Shine RX.
- Shop and Upgrade with Confidence: Use your credit to shop any new RX glasses, including premium models like the Leathered RX.
There’s no need to submit proof of damage or file complicated paperwork — just send the broken glasses and get your replacement credit.

Tips for Protecting Your RX Glasses During Travel
While our warranty is there for peace of mind, it’s always best to protect your glasses to avoid damage in the first place. Here are a few pro tips:
- Use a Hard Protective Case: Always pack your glasses in a sturdy hard case designed for sports eyewear. This reduces pressure and impact damage.
- Keep Glasses in Carry-On: Whenever possible, store your glasses in your carry-on luggage instead of checked baggage to avoid rough handling.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don’t leave glasses in a hot car or direct sunlight for extended periods. Heat can warp lenses and frames. Learn more in our blog How to Avoid Lens Warping in Heat.
- Bring a Spare Pair: For tournament players, a backup RX pair can be a lifesaver. Read our guide When to Bring a Spare RX Pair in Your Bag for expert advice.
