Why eyewear should be a part of your tennis equipment?
While many players focus their attention on racquets, strings and shoes, there’s arguably no more valuable piece of equipment than a player’s eyes. Unlike the rest of a player’s gear, the eyes are irreplaceable and must be protected, especially when spending countless hours on court under intense sunlight.
Over time, exposure to harmful UV rays can result in cataracts (clouding of the eye lens) and macular degeneration (deterioration of the central portion of the retina), both of which can lead to loss of vision.
