Padel eyewear splits into two genuinely different products: impact-rated protective glasses for the ball, and tinted sunglasses for glare on outdoor courts. They solve different problems, they are built differently, and the pair that suits a sunny outdoor session is usually the wrong choice for an indoor club.
Eye protection is also the piece of padel kit almost nobody buys until something happens. That is worth reconsidering, because the injury data is more pointed than most players expect.
