Protect Your Eyes, and Your Game With the Perfect Holiday Gift

A holiday pick that combines performance, protection, and style

As pickleball has grown rapidly over the past few years, there’s been a sharp increase in pickleball-related eye injuries, especially among players over 50. In fact, over 3,100 injuries were reported nationwide in just the past two years. And these weren’t minor scrapes, they included retinal detachments, globe trauma, and corneal abrasions caused by balls striking faces at unexpected angles, particularly when deflected by your partner's paddle (or your own). 

Despite the growing danger, protective eyewear isn’t widely used. Joyce and I are huge proponents of protective eyewear, and I’ve been playing with Kitchen Blockers recently, and loving them. Many players don’t realize how vulnerable they are or worry that glasses might interfere with their game. But experts agree, the risk is real, and the solution is simple, wear proper, sport-approved protective eyewear. 

But here’s the problem, lenses can fog up, create glare, and make it harder to see the ball clearly. The solution? Kitchen Blockers, lens-free eye protection. Designed specifically for pickleball, you get all the protection, none of the hassle. 

This holiday season, what better gift than KitchenBlockers.com, the perfect way to protect your eyes, and the eyes of your partner, friends and family during play.
