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 pictures of her damage and the attention patch she’s carrying in restoration.
Now we have been saying for at the very least 5 years now: Pickleball gamers please put on glasses. Possibly Clear lenses inside. Possibly Sun shades exterior.
Eye accidents like a indifferent retina or on this case a scratched cornea are not 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’re nearer to your opponents throughout the web. In addition to deflecting balls.
Hope Eugenie totally heals rapidly. And we want a speedy restoration for Sam Querrey, one other former tennis star injured taking part in pickleball.
