1. 💪 Shatterproof, Sport-Grade Lenses
Your eyewear should never be the weak link. Prescription sports eyewear must be crafted from polycarbonate or Trivex lenses—known for high impact resistance. All of Blinded Wear’s RX sports sunglasses use polycarbonate lenses for elite performance and protection.

2. 😅 Sweat-Proof, Anti-Slip Grip Pads
If your glasses slip mid-match, you’re done. High-quality temple grips and nose pads make all the difference. Look for rubberized, adjustable, or dual-injected grips that maintain friction even when soaked in sweat.
Try: Gray Hound RX — designed to lock in during high-intensity movement.
3. 🏃♂️ Featherweight Frames
Heavy glasses = distraction. Lightweight sports eyewear lets you forget you're even wearing them. Nylon, TR90, or aluminum-magnesium blends provide strength without bulk.
Top Pick: Crystal Wave II RX
4. 🌤️ UV + Blue Light Protection
Exposure to UV rays can cause long-term eye damage. Every pair of RX sports eyewear from Blinded Wear comes with built-in 100% UVA/UVB protection, and optional blue light filtering shields.
