FAQ

Are the lenses polarized or non-polarized?

Our racquet-sport lenses are not polarized as polarized lenses block horizontal glare - while this is useful for everyday wear, it can have a negative effect on your depth perception on the court. When you need to see the ball clearly to time your swing, a polarized lens will be an impediment. Regardless, all of our lenses are still 100% UVA/B protective.

I want to try these on, where can I do that?

For now we are only selling from our website so that if you need anything we can help you directly 👊 - however, we do free returns for 30 days after buying so that you can try them on at home without committing. Check out our full return policy here.

Can you make prescription in this frame?

Model One is not RX-able. Please see our RX options here.

Best Eyewear for pickleball.
These glasses are so awesome! They protect and the curved contour of the design lets you see more of a wide angle from your peripheral view. They don't glare, don't fog and are light weight! Love them!

Model One (Photochromic Radium HD+) were the first eyewear to resolve my issue with glare from indoor LED lighting. I now clearly see the pickleball throughout the entire court. As a result, there has been a significant improvement in my play without changing the way I play. I cannot wait to try them outdoors!

Model One Eyewear
I became a pickleball fanatic about five years ago upon moving to sunny Arizona. At the time, I was wearing a quality pair of multi-use sports glasses that I already owned. When those glasses started to wear out, I began researching pickleball specific eyewear. During my research, the RIA name kept popping up in numerous places with very high reviews.
After looking into the company myself, I decided to invest in a pair of RIA Model One eyewear and they did not disappoint! I honestly didn’t think that court specific glasses would make much of a difference, but boy was I wrong. I wear them on an almost daily basis on the courts and couldn’t be happier. They not only allow for great depth perception, but also excellent eye protection. I’ve been hit in the face numerous times and I am beyond thankful for the protection that my RIAs offer. The torpedo head shots which have hit me during some intense mixed matches did no damage to me or my RIAs (well, maybe just a little bit to my ego!).
I just recently ordered another pair of RIAs in a different frame color with the photochromic lenses. They are phenomenal. It is so wonderful that the lenses adjust on their own to accommodate the degree of brightness and I don’t have to stop playing to switch out lenses.
I wholeheartedly recommend this company and their eyewear and personally look forward to eventually trying more of their eyewear styles/colors. Since I’ve had my RIAs, I’ve had well over a dozen other players try out my…

love the fit and the transition; wish they worked a little better when looking up at the sun in terms of other polarized glasses I have.
