Crystal Wave II RX: Great for Travel and Tournament Weekends

Why Travel and Tournament Play Demands More From Your RX Glasses

Whether you’re jet-setting to your next pickleball tournament or packing for a weekend of back-to-back matches, your RX glasses need to perform at a professional level—no compromises.

The Crystal Wave II RX is Blinded Wear Co’s top-tier prescription eyewear designed with the traveler and competitive athlete in mind. Combining durable, lightweight materials with premium 1.61 high-index lenses, this frame delivers unmatched clarity, comfort, and style for long days on and off the court.

From the early morning flight to the final championship point, Crystal Wave II RX keeps you focused, confident, and ready to dominate.


What Makes Crystal Wave II RX Perfect for Travel and Tournaments?

1. Lightweight Durability That Goes the Distance

When traveling, you want eyewear that can withstand the bumps, drops, and jostles of luggage and airport security. Crystal Wave II RX frames use impact-resistant materials that are tough but featherlight—reducing pressure on your nose and ears during long wear.

  • Scratch-resistant lenses keep your vision sharp match after match.

  • Flexible frame design adapts to your face shape, ensuring a snug fit through hours of play and travel.

  • Includes a compact sleeve that fits perfectly in carry-ons and travel bags.


2. 1.61 High-Index Lenses For Ultra-Clear Vision

Prescription strength shouldn’t mean heavy, bulky glasses. Crystal Wave II RX features 1.61 high-index lenses that:

  • Are thin and lightweight for all-day comfort.

  • Offer minimal distortion, so you see every ball spin and court line with perfect clarity.

  • Include non-polarized lenses to maintain true depth perception—crucial for split-second decisions.

3. Versatile Lens Options to Match Every Condition

Travel and tournaments can take you from bright outdoor courts to dimly lit indoor gyms or even casual off-court sightseeing.

  • Clear lenses are perfect for indoor play and low-light conditions.

  • Grey lenses provide neutral sun protection for bright, sunny days.

  • Transitional lenses automatically adapt to changing light, ideal for players moving between venues.

4. Non-Polarized Lenses Preserve Depth Perception

Unlike many sports glasses, Crystal Wave II RX lenses are non-polarized by design. This is a deliberate choice because:

  • Polarized lenses reduce glare but can flatten depth perception.

  • Real-time depth perception helps you anticipate shots and maintain court positioning.

  • Non-polarized lenses help you see the ball's trajectory and spin naturally—vital when every millisecond counts.
