Getting a new pair of prescription sports glasses—whether it’s the Limeade II RX, Ocean Wave RX, Dolphin Blue RX, Runway RX, Cold Slate RX, H‑Blue Shield RX, or Crystal Wave II RX—is just the beginning. To gain maximum performance, players need to train their visual system.

🧠 Why Focus Training Matters for New RX Wearers
1. Resetting Depth Perception
New lenses—even optimized ones like Ocean Wave RX or Crystal Wave II RX—can slightly shift perceived distance. Focus drills retrain your depth mapping.
2. Strengthening Eye Muscles
RX glasses change peripheral viewing angles. Exercises build convergence and divergence muscle coordination.
3. Enhancing Reaction Time
Clearer vision through Limeade II RX or Cold Slate RX frames means faster object identification—but the brain must catch up. Drills sharpen reflexes.
4. Boosting Visual Endurance
Long matches, travel, and media breaks strain the vision. Training helps reduce fatigue.
