PTS Courtside Conversations:
Protect Your Vision on the Pickleball Court
With Dr. Ernie Medina

Pickleball is fast, fun, and growing like crazy – but have you thought about protecting your eyes while playing? Dr. Ernie Medina, founder of the No 2 Naked Eyeballs (N2NE) campaign, is on a mission to raise awareness about eye safety in pickleball.

From scratched corneas to detached retinas, eye injuries can happen in an instant. That’s why Dr. Medina is advocating for protective eyewear, especially for youth players in tournaments. Some pros are already making the switch – should you?

“I tell all my students in class #1 that I've been hit from the top of my head to my feet, and the only place I can get seriously injured to the point of never playing again is my eyes.” 
– Dr. Ernie Medina

With more players recognizing the importance of eye protection, brands like Brioti are stepping up to provide high-performance eyewear designed specifically for pickleballers.
