Why All Blinded Wear Rx Glasses Come with 1.61 High-Index Lenses

Find Your Perfect Pickleball Glasses

Whether you need prescription (RX) or non-prescription glasses, our 2026 guide breaks down the top-performing models for clarity, comfort, and performance on every court.

High-Performance Vision Starts with High-Index Lenses

When it comes to prescription sports eyewear, not all lenses are created equal. At Blinded Wear Co., we believe elite performance begins with elite materials. Thatโ€™s why every single Rx pair includes 1.61 high-index lenses โ€” at no additional cost.

Explore our Prescription Eyewear Collection to see the difference.


What Are 1.61 High-Index Lenses?

High-index lenses are designed to bend light more efficiently. The result? You get the same prescription power in a thinner, lighter lens compared to standard plastic or polycarbonate options.

Why It Matters for Athletes:

  • โœ… Less weight = more comfort for extended wear.

  • โœ… Thinner profile fits better in sport frames.

  • โœ… Reduced distortion for improved court vision.

Whether you choose the Dark Ruby RX or any other performance style, youโ€™re getting premium lens quality with no hidden fees.


Our Promise: No Rx Upcharges, Ever

Other brands charge $50-$100 extra for high-index upgrades. At Blinded Wear Co., we believe performance eyewear should come standard with performance lenses.

Included in Every Rx Pair:

  • 1.61 High-Index Lenses

  • Anti-scratch + Anti-fog Coatings

  • 100% UVA/UVB Protection

  • Bounce-Free Athletic Fit
