👁️ The fastest-growing sport in America just sent thousands to the ER with eye injuries.

Pickleball’s rise as America’s fastest-growing sport has come with an unexpected downside: a surge in serious eye injuries.

A new study published in JAMA Ophthalmology analyzed nearly 20 years of emergency room data and found that pickleball-related eye injuries have spiked dramatically—especially in the past year.

Of the estimated 3,100 reported injuries between 2005 and 2024, more than 40 percent occurred in 2024 alone. Most cases involved players aged 50 and older, with injuries ranging from corneal abrasions to orbital fractures and even ruptured eyeballs.

Experts say the sport’s smaller courts and faster-paced play increase the risk of close-range collisions and fast ball impacts. “People think of pickleball as safer than tennis,” said Dr. Matthew Gorski, “but a single hit to the eye can cause lasting damage.” The study also noted that many injuries involved first-time or casual players not wearing protective eyewear. As participation soars—growing from 3.5 million players in 2019 to nearly 20 million in 2024—doctors are urging the public to take safety more seriously. Without action, they warn, this beloved sport could leave a lasting mark on players’ vision.

不管你打过什么球，
做过哪种竞技运动，
都一定有遇过这种人。

比赛输了，怪队友不配合；
比赛赢了，全是自己功劳。
但你很少看到他进步，
因为他从不自省。

无论你打的是篮球、羽毛球、排球还是桌球，
甚至只是和朋友周末来一场羽毛球对打，
其实最值得重视的，
不是比分，而是你的心态。

真正厉害的人，
就算赢了，也会问自己哪里还能更好；
输了，更会反思哪里可以调整。
因为他们知道，
进步的关键不是一场比赛的结果，
而是每一场之后你如何复盘。

输赢都很现实，
但成长，藏在你愿不愿意低头检讨的那一刻。

一场比赛结束，真正的对手才出现，
他叫“过去的你”。

#真正厉害的人 #输赢之后先反思自己

打球，本来是一件放松、流汗、联络感情的事。
可总有那么一些人，只要一开始比赛，
眼里就只剩下赢。

队友传球慢了一秒，就翻白眼；
伴侣失了一个分，就脸黑沉默；
一局输了，不是反思团队，
而是开始甩锅、怪东怪西。

你赢了比分，却输了朋友；
你捡起了胜利，却丢掉了氛围。

打的是球，不是仇。
你以为你赢了，
但身边的人已经悄悄把你拉黑了。
你以为你在carry全场，
其实别人早就不想和你再下一场。

打赢一场球很爽，
但和一群愿意一起笑、一起输、
一起打下一场的人，才是最大的胜利。

所以，下次打球前，
请先想清楚，
你是想赢一场比赛，
还是想继续拥有这些关系。

#胜负欲太强的人 #往往赢了比赛 #输了关系
