1. Why Your Eyes Tire Long Before Your Body
In extended rallies, your eyes perform overtime:
-
Micro‑focus adjustments: Constantly tracking ball spin, direction, and court lines.
-
Contrast stress: Diminished light and background glare reduce visibility.
-
Lens switching: From bright sun to shaded courts or indoor gyms.
-
Sweat, dust, and reflection interference, especially under stadium lights.
Eventually, your vision dulls—shots seem slower, depth perception drifts, misses multiply—while your legs are still strong.
2. Prescription Lenses Built for Visual Stamina
You can push your stamina; your glasses shouldn’t be the breaking point. The right RX lenses and coatings help by:
-
Blocking glare, UV & blue light to protect from fatigue.
-
Maintaining clarity and contrast even in changing light.
-
Preventing fog build-ups despite sweat.
-
Staying lightweight and secure, even under pressure.
All Blinded Wear RX frames offer 1.61 high‑index lenses, giving crystal optics with minimal weight—essential for match-long comfort.
