The Eye Safety Crisis Pickleball Doesn’t Like Talking About — And How ColorBoost™ Is Solving It
We all love to talk paddles, spin, and dinks—but eye injuries are quietly rising as the game gets faster and courts get more crowded. The good news: the same lens tech that helps you see earlier also helps you protect better.
Why pickleball eyes are at risk
-
Players are standing closer than in tennis
-
Balls are getting faster with better paddles
-
Many players wear no eyewear or wear casual sunglasses with questionable impact resistance
-
Recreational play often happens in tight spaces with multiple courts
That’s a recipe for accidental hits.
See it sooner = protect it sooner
ColorBoost™ isn’t just about looking good—it’s about buying you time. When you see the ball earlier, you can turn, block, or pull the paddle up sooner. That’s basic safety.
Built for pickleball play
Our Daytona frames are designed to stay on your face during quick movement and sweat. A pair that slides down when you lunge does nothing to protect you.

Indoors is not safer if you can’t see
Indoor gyms have flat lighting and balls can come from peripheral angles. Our indoor ColorBoost™ keeps the ball visible so you’re not surprised.
Q&A: Safety + vision
Q: Are these safety goggles?
A: These are pickleball-focused protective eyewear designed to help you see earlier and stay protected. Always check product specs if you require specific lab ratings.
Q: I already wear prescription glasses—am I protected?
A: Regular streetwear frames often aren’t designed for sport impact or court movement. Sport-specific eyewear is the safer path.
Q: Do I really need eyewear if I only play rec?
A: Rec is where most accidental hits happen—people are closer, chatting, and less ready.
