I Played, Traveled, and Slept in These RX Glasses
Share
When you’re a serious pickleball player, your RX glasses aren’t just eyewear—they’re your constant companion. From intense matches under blazing sun to travel delays, hotel lobbies, and even those rare moments of downtime, the right pair of glasses makes a world of difference.
In this blog, I’m sharing my personal experience with Blinded Wear RX glasses — a pair I literally played, traveled, and slept in during a recent tournament weekend and beyond. Spoiler alert: these glasses redefined what comfort, durability, and style mean in sports eyewear.
Why I Needed Glasses That Could Keep Up
Pickleball tournaments are grueling. Matches run back-to-back. Lighting changes from sun-soaked outdoor courts to dim indoor gyms. And traveling between venues means constantly taking your glasses off and putting them back on. My old prescription glasses? They just couldn’t keep pace.
What I wanted was:
-
Comfort that lasts all day (and night!)
-
Durability to survive travel and accidental drops
-
Lens clarity that handles all lighting conditions
-
A frame that stays put during fast pivots and sprints
That’s when I found Blinded Wear RX.
The Game-Changing Features I Loved
1. Ultra-Lightweight Comfort
One of the first things I noticed was how lightweight the frames are. Models like the Crystal Wave II RX and Frost RX felt almost like I wasn’t wearing anything at all. This meant no pressure points behind my ears or on my nose, even after hours of wear.
2. Secure Fit That Stays Put
Whether lunging for a fast volley or dashing to the net, the anti-slip temple grips and moisture-wicking nose pads kept my glasses locked in place. No slipping, no distractions — exactly what every athlete needs.
3. Versatile Lens Options
I switched between transitional lenses on sunny mornings and clear lenses for shaded or indoor courts, all without swapping glasses. The high-index lenses included at no extra cost meant my prescription was crystal clear.
4. Durable, Travel-Ready Frames
I tossed my glasses into my travel bag without worrying about scratches or bends. The robust build quality meant they survived TSA security, hotel stays, and even a few accidental drops.
Playing and Traveling: A Weekend in Blinded Wear RX
Match Day One
From warm-up through the final point, my Zebra II RX glasses handled the blazing sun with ease. The wraparound design blocked peripheral glare, and I didn’t have to adjust them once. My focus was 100% on the court.
Traveling Between Venues
At the airport and on the road, the lightweight frames were comfortable enough to wear for hours. I loved that I could keep them on without fogging or discomfort.
Hotel and Rest
Even during downtime, these glasses were so comfortable, I sometimes forgot I had them on. While I didn’t exactly sleep with them on, I appreciated how easy it was to wear them indoors without eye fatigue or irritation.
Match Day Two (Indoor/Gym Play)
Switching to the Crystal Wave II RX with transitional lenses was seamless. The lenses adapted quickly to lighting changes, and the frame was light enough to keep me feeling fresh.
