If you’re over 40, you’re not alone in preferring pickleball sunglasses that aren’t too dark. As lighting and pupil response change with age, very dark lenses can mask ball spin and make depth cues harder to read—especially in shadow or under partial cloud cover.
Dink Eyewear solves this with performance tints that stay in the medium-to-light range to balance comfort and clarity:
• Indoor/Outdoor Green: The go-to for green/yellow balls—brightens edges without hiding detail.
• Violet: Locks in contrast on red/orange/pink balls without crushing mid-tones.
• Natural: Low-light specialist for all ball colors—perfect for indoor courts and evening play.
Benefits you’ll feel:
• Faster ball acquisition off the paddle
• Better distance judgment on lobs and resets
• Less squinting, more confident footwork
• All-day comfort with full UV protection and impact resistance
Pro tip: Keep Natural in your bag for backups and late matches. When the lights come on or the sun drops, swap to Natural and keep your reads sharp.
