How to Maximize Comfort with Strong RXs
Wearing strong prescriptions doesn’t have to mean heavy lenses or bulky frames. At Blinded Wear, we’ve helped hundreds of players switch from uncomfortable, outdated RX glasses to streamlined, high-performance frames built for movement and endurance—no matter your lens strength.
Here’s how you can maximize comfort while getting the vision correction you need for tournament-level clarity.
👓 Step 1: Use High-Index Lenses—Always
All of our prescription sports eyewear comes standard with 1.61 high-index lenses at no extra cost. These lenses are thinner, lighter, and less prone to distortion compared to traditional plastic or polycarbonate options.
- ✅ Thinner edges, even at strong prescriptions
- ✅ Less visual “bulge” or fishbowl effect
- ✅ More stylish, balanced appearance

💡 Step 2: Choose Frame Styles That Balance Weight
Not all sports eyewear frames are created equal. For those with strong RX needs, we recommend:
- 💪 Mid-wrap or soft-wrap frames to support lens curvature without creating edge distortion
- 🧠 Wide bridge pads to distribute weight more evenly across your face
- 🎯 Secure temple grips that prevent bouncing or shifting mid-match
Our Crystal Wave II RX and H Blue Shield RX are both great for this use case.
🌤️ Step 3: Pick the Right Lens Tint for Eye Fatigue
Strong prescriptions already demand more focus from your visual system. The right lens tint can reduce squinting and slow fatigue:
- Gray lenses – Cut brightness without color distortion (best for sunny tournaments)
- Transitional lenses – Shift automatically from clear to dark outdoors
- Clear lenses – Best for low-light or indoor play
- Blue light filter – Helps ease eye strain before and after match play
All lens types are available with your prescription, and we offer them for both single vision and progressive RXs.
🚫 What to Avoid with Strong RXs
Many discomfort issues come from:
- 👎 Poor-quality polycarbonate lenses that distort at high strengths
- 👎 Frames with narrow temples or tight bridges that cause pressure points
- 👎 Lack of lens coatings that lead to fog, smudge, or sweat build-up
That’s why every Blinded Wear RX pair includes:
- ✔️ Anti-fog + anti-scratch coating
- ✔️ UV protection
- ✔️ Moisture-wicking pads and non-slip fit features
Try Lava Rock RX or Gray Hound RX if you’ve struggled with pressure or lens weight before.
📦 Protection If It Ever Breaks
Strong RX lenses can sometimes carry risk of cracking or flex stress—so our warranty guarantees you 50% credit toward a new RX pair if anything breaks, any time.
That includes frame breakage, delamination, heat warping, or fit issues.
