Why These RX Glasses Are Perfect for 10 AM Tournaments

Playing in a 10 AM pickleball tournament means facing a very specific lighting environment — the sun is rising, but it’s not yet at its peak intensity. This unique time of day presents challenges like fluctuating brightness, shadows, and potential glare from low-angle sunlight. For serious players, choosing prescription (RX) glasses that excel in this setting can improve vision clarity, reduce eye strain, and ultimately boost performance.

What Makes 10 AM Lighting Unique?

• Changing light intensity: The sun is bright but not overpowering, creating dynamic shadows.
• Angle of sunlight: Low-angle light causes glare that can hit players from different directions.
• Transition zones: Courts may have areas of bright sun mixed with shaded spots.

Top RX Lens Types for 10 AM Play

Gray Tinted Lenses

Gray lenses provide balanced brightness reduction while maintaining true color perception — perfect for early morning light that isn’t harsh but requires glare management.

Transitional (Photochromic) Lenses

Transitional lenses adapt to changing light levels, darkening as sunlight intensifies and clearing in shaded areas. However, activation time may vary depending on temperature.

Clear Lenses

Ideal if you play in mostly shaded courts or early in the morning with mist, clear lenses maximize visible light transmission and enhance contrast.
