What to Know Before Ordering Prescription Sports Eyewear
Whether you’re training for your first tournament or playing five times a week, choosing the right prescription sports eyewear can change everything—your vision, your comfort, even your performance.
At Blinded Wear, we specialize in RX sunglasses and clear-lens performance eyewear for pickleball and other high-motion sports. Before you place your order, here’s everything you should know to make the right call—for your face, your prescription, and your play style.
📌 1. We Offer Both Single Vision and Progressive Lenses
Not all sport RX glasses give you the choice. But at Blinded Wear, we offer:
- Single Vision RX – Perfect if your prescription is for distance only.
- Progressive RX – Seamless top-to-bottom viewing for distance, midrange, and close-up tasks like scoreboards or phone use between games.
No extra fees or confusion—we’ll build your lenses exactly to your prescription's specifications.
👓 2. Choose Your Lens Type: Clear, Gray, Transitional, or Blue Light
Every RX pair from Blinded Wear comes with high-index 1.61 lenses at no upcharge, and you get to choose your tint:
- Clear Lenses: Great for indoor courts, shaded venues, or night play.
- Gray Lenses: Reduce overhead glare without distorting color—ideal for sunny outdoor matches.
- Transitional Lenses: Automatically darken in UV light and return to clear indoors. Most versatile for mixed lighting or travel tournaments.
- Blue Light Lenses: Reduce screen fatigue and nighttime haze for players who train after hours.

- Wraparound designs for full visual field and secure fit
- Anti-slip temple arms and sweat-resistant bridges
- Lightweight, pressure-dispersing materials that won't fatigue your face

🔍 4. Know Your PD and Prescription Details
We’ll need:
- Your complete prescription with sphere, cylinder, and axis (if applicable)
- Pupillary Distance (PD) – This measures the space between your pupils and helps us center the RX in each lens
If you don’t have a PD measurement, check out our guide: How to Read Your Prescription.
✅ 5. All RX Orders Are Custom—Here’s What That Means
Every RX pair is made just for you. Because of this:
- No exchanges or returns unless there’s a production error
- Lifetime warranty protection: If your frames break years from now, send them in for 50% credit toward a new pair

📦 6. RX Turnaround Time
Most prescription orders ship in 7–10 business days. Shipping is free over $50, and you’ll get tracking once the lenses are finished and inspected.
🔁 7. Upgrade Later? Use Your Warranty Credit
If your vision changes or you want to upgrade later, just send back your original RX frames and we’ll give you 50% credit toward a new order. We know that athletes evolve—and we support that.
