Over the past 30 hockey seasons in Canada, 1914 eye injuries have been reported including 311 legally blinded eyes. 302 of the blind eyes were suffered by players wearing no eye protectors, 9 by players wearing visors whose helmets were not firmly attached to the head. Chin cups rather than neck straps should attach helmets securely to the head. More eye injuries are reported by badminton players than racquetball, squash and tennis combined. 1135 racket sports eye injuries have been reported including 47 legally blind eyes. Badminton players and racquetball players must wear certified eye protectors with poly-carbonate lenses. In Canada, in the past 19 years, war games (paintball games) have been responsible for 33 legally blind eyes. None of these players was wearing an eye protector provided. All players and spectators in the game field area must wear eye protection. Golf balls weighing 1 1/2 ounces travel at a speed of 150 miles per hour
and strike an object with energy of 75 foot lbs. (a 1 pound weight dropped
75 feet). During the past 21 years in Canada, 61 golf eye injuries have
been reported, including 20 legally blind eyes. Never turn around to see
who shouted "fore!". Beware of balls ricocheting off trees! |
