People over 50 may want to think twice before they join the pickleball trend. A new study shows an increase in eye injuries from the popular sport including corneal abrasions, bruises, hyphema (bleeding in the eye) and even orbital fractures. Actually, this is easy to prevent if you wear eye protection but most pickleballers don’t. Other prevalent injuries include sprained ankles, wrist fractures, shoulder strains, and hip injuries from those slips, dives, and sudden pivots that the over-50 body just isn’t as eager to make anymore. So why is the sport so popular? Maybe because, as one unnamed friend confided in me, it’s apparently rife with extramarital affairs. That’s just my conjecture. I have never played pickleball.
