Sports-Related Eye Injuries: What You Need to Know and Tips for Prevention

Sports and Eye Injuries Eye injuries are the leading cause of blindness in children. Every 13 minutes, an ER in the United States treats a sports-related eye injury. Most eye injuries among kids aged 11 to 14 occur while playing sports.

Sports and Eye Injuries Baseball is a leading cause of eye injuries in children 14 and under. Basketball is a leading cause of eye injuries among 15- to 24-year-olds.

Financial Cost of Eye Injuries Sports-related eye injuries represent a significant eye health hazard worldwide. Sports-related eye injuries cost $175 to $200 million a year. Hockey face protectors have saved society $10 million a year. Use of protective eyewear can decrease insurance costs.

Eye Exams A comprehensive eye exam is important for everyone. Exams may detect pre-existing eye conditions in athletes. Not all athletes have had their eyes examined.

Health Providers Should Advise Family physicians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other health care providers play a critical role in advising patients to use protective eyewear.

Sports with the Highest Rates of Eye Injuries Baseball/Softball Ice Hockey Racquet Sports Basketball

Sports with the Highest Rates of Eye Injuries Fencing Lacrosse Paintball Boxing

Protective Eyewear Protective eyewear may prevent 90 percent of sports-related eye injuries. Experts agree that protective eyewear must meet ASTM standards.

Protective Eyewear All kids need protective eyewear. Ordinary prescription glasses do not provide adequate protection. Eyewear should be sport-specific and sit comfortably on the face. Protective eyewear is usually made of polycarbonate.

Benefits of Protective Eyewear Many sports-related eye injuries result in permanent vision loss. Protective eyewear will keep you in the game rather than on the bench with an eye injury.

Keeping Eyes Safe Talk to your eye care provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your sport. Have an eye exam.
