How This RX Pair Became a Player Favorite Overnight
Share
Every once in a while, a piece of gear comes along that doesn’t just meet expectations—it shatters them. That’s exactly what happened with the Blue Shield RX and Runway RX from Blinded Wear.
What began as a quiet launch quickly became a tournament favorite, with league players, local pros, and even national competitors raving about their clarity, grip, and playability. Within weeks, these frames weren’t just selling—they were spreading.
So what made this RX pair go viral? Simple: they delivered performance where other glasses couldn’t. They gave players clarity on cloudy days, stability through five-set matches, and confidence on fast-paced courts.
Built for Real Play, Not Just Looks
Most RX sports glasses focus on design first, performance second. These frames reversed that formula. Each one was constructed using polycarbonate for durability, 1.61 high-index RX lenses at no added cost, and non-polarized optics that preserve depth cues for high-level play.
Blinded Wear’s prescription glasses are tailored to what players need in the real world:
- ✔️ Grip that doesn’t slip when sweating or sprinting
- ✔️ Color-preserving lens technology for court visibility
- ✔️ A snug but featherlight feel that works in long matches
Why These Frames Took Off
✔️ Non-Polarized Vision = Better Reaction Time
Other brands push polarized lenses, but for pickleball, polarization kills depth perception and spin tracking. The Blue Shield RX uses non-polarized lenses to keep colors true and response time sharp.
✔️ Free Thin RX Lenses
With other retailers, high-index prescriptions cost more. Not here. Every pair ships with ultra-thin, 1.61-index lenses included in the price.
✔️ Anti-Fog, Anti-Slip Fit
When your glasses fog or slide mid-rally, you’re out of rhythm. These pairs stay in place no matter how intense the game gets. No fog sprays needed.
