Why RX Glasses Are Better Than Face Shields for Eye Safety
When it comes to protecting your eyes during sports or daily activities, choosing the right gear is crucial. Many athletes wonder if face shields offer enough protection compared to prescription (RX) sports glasses. At Blinded Wear, we believe RX glasses provide superior safety, comfort, and performance.
1. Superior Impact Protection
RX sports glasses are built from shatter-resistant materials like high-index polycarbonate lenses that absorb impacts and resist cracks. Unlike face shields, which are thin plastic barriers, RX glasses wrap around your eyes and block debris, dust, and direct hits from multiple angles.
2. Prescription Vision Without Compromise
Face shields do not correct vision. RX glasses combine protection with precise vision correction, eliminating the need to wear separate glasses under a shield. This integration reduces fogging and improves reaction time on the court.
Explore our prescription frames like Runway RX or Steel Ice RX that offer both sharp vision and safety.
3. Comfort and Fit for Active Play
RX glasses are designed to stay secure during fast movement with features like adjustable nose pads, flexible temples, and rubber grips. Face shields can be bulky, slip easily, and limit ventilation—making them less comfortable for prolonged activity.
4. Reduced Fogging and Better Airflow
Many athletes struggle with face shields fogging during intense play or in humid environments. Our RX glasses come with anti-fog coatings and allow natural airflow, helping keep your vision clear.

5. Durability and Warranty Protection
Blinded Wear RX glasses come with an unlimited lifetime warranty covering lens cracks and frame damage, including travel mishaps. Face shields usually offer limited protection and no warranty benefits.
