When to Replace vs. Repair Your RX Glasses
Your RX pickleball glasses take a beating—from sudden dives to TSA checks to humid three-match Saturdays. But how do you know when it’s time to replace them entirely versus just repair the damage?
This guide breaks it down: signs your glasses need repair, when replacement is smarter, and what our RX warranty covers.
🛠️ Signs It’s Time to Repair
Sometimes, your frames just need a tune-up. Here’s what you can usually repair:
- Loose screws or hinge issues
- Nose pad detachment or misalignment
- Minor frame bending or shape retention
- Light scratches on non-RX shield lenses
In most cases, a local optician or specialty repair service can handle these issues affordably. If your frames are part of our warranty plan, reach out—we can help guide next steps.
🧾 When to Replace Your RX Glasses
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to consider replacing your RX frames:
- Deep lens damage that interferes with vision
- Frame warping due to heat or pressure (especially from travel)
- Delamination of prescription coatings
- Visual strain or outdated prescriptions
Good news? If your Blinded RX pair breaks or is no longer usable, you qualify for 50% lifetime credit toward a new pair. That’s our promise.

🔁 Lifetime Credit, No Guesswork
We don’t allow exchanges on prescription glasses because they’re custom-built—but you’ll never be left stranded.
If your RX glasses break 6 days or 6 years from now, just send them in and get 50% credit off the current product value. Unlimited times.
Examples:
- Zebra II RX crushed in a locker? Replace it with your credit.
- Frost RX fogged and cracked after a hot day? 50% toward your next pair.
💡 Pro Tip: Use Your Backup Pair
Smart players always carry two RX pairs. Especially during tournaments or travel, you’ll want options like:
- Blue Shield RX for afternoon sweat matches
- Red Shine RX for outdoor blinding sun
- Havana White RX for indoor or shaded tournament zones
Planning ahead ensures a cracked lens doesn’t bench you for finals.
