Pickleball is proving to be a well being hazard for tennis stars.
Former Wimbledon finalist Genie Bouchard suffered a scratched left cornea when a mis-hit pickleball struck her left eye.
TC analyst Bouchard shared photos of her harm and the attention patch she’s sporting in restoration.
We’ve got been saying for no less than 5 years now: Pickleball gamers please put on glasses. Perhaps Clear lenses inside. Perhaps Sun shades outdoors.
Eye accidents like a indifferent retina or on this case a scratched cornea aren’t any joke. They are often very critical accidents.
Certain we’ve seen a ball strike some within the eye in tennis… But it surely’s actually uncommon.
In pickle you might be nearer to your opponents throughout the web. In addition to deflecting balls.
Hope Eugenie totally heals shortly. And we want a speedy restoration for Sam Querrey, one other former tennis star injured taking part in pickleball.
