@ZSistersPickleball - As the world's #1 female pickleball player, Anna Leigh Waters knows the importance of every piece of gear on the court, and eye protection is no exception. Just like Anna Leigh, who wears protective eyewear in every match, you should prioritize safeguarding your vision. Here's why, according to the best in the game:
"I found out when I was playing 4.0 and 5.0 tournaments that I was like half-blind. I can't really see out of my one eye, so mine are prescription. That's why I started wearing them at the beginning. Then as the sport got faster, they benefited me more because it protects my eyes and helps me see the ball," says Anna Leigh.
Even if you don't require prescription lenses, the speed of the game and the close proximity of players make eye protection a non-negotiable. A high-quality pair of sports glasses can shield your eyes from:
* High-speed impacts: Pickleballs can travel at significant speeds, and a direct hit to the eye can cause serious injury. Protective eyewear acts as a barrier, absorbing the impact.
* Harmful UV rays: If you play outdoors, exposure to UVA and UVB rays can damage your eyes over time. Many sports glasses offer 100% UV protection.
* Glare: Bright sunlight can impair your vision and reaction time. Tinted or polarized lenses can reduce glare, allowing you to track the ball more effectively.
* Dust and debris: Outdoor courts can have dust or small particles that can irritate or injure your eyes.
Anna Leigh emphasizes that as the sport gets faster, eye protection becomes even more critical for players of all levels. Don't compromise your vision – invest in a quality pair of sports glasses from trusted brands like Oakley or Onix. Carrie Z recommends them.
