Why Protective Eyewear Matters
Fast reflexes, close-court action, and hard-driven balls make pickleball fun—but they also make eye injuries more common than most players realize.
Anna explains:
“I’ve seen players get hit in the eye by balls that bounce off their own paddle—or even a partner’s. It happens so fast. Why take a chance? Eye protection should be as essential as your paddle or shoes.”
Performance Meets Style
PBPRO’s Protective Eyewear Collection was engineered specifically for pickleball players who demand comfort, safety, and style. The lightweight TR90 frames, anti-fog lenses, and ergonomic fit provide full-court protection without distraction. Available in Blue, Pink, and White, each pair offers UV400 protection and a sleek design that transitions seamlessly from indoor to outdoor play.
Beyond protection, PBPRO’s HD Polarized Sunglasses line—favored by both amateur and professional athletes—delivers advanced lens technology, ultra-light comfort, and bold aesthetics. From court to clubhouse, players can see the game clearly and perform at their best.
A Shared Mission
PBPRO founder Simona Galik Moore, a former professional tennis player, said:
“Anna represents everything PBPRO stands for—passion, performance, and purpose. She’s a true ambassador for safe, smart, and stylish play.”
