Did you know that for all age groups, that for all age groups, sports-related eye injuries occur most often when playing baseball, basketball, and any type of sport that involves a racket.
Also, boxing and full contact martial arts have a extremely high risk of a serious eye injury, and may even cause blinding eye injuries. There is no good way to protect your eye in boxing. However, wearing thumbless gloves may reduce the number of boxing eye injuries.
In baseball, ice hockey, and men's lacrosse, a helmet with a polycarbonate face mask (polycarbonate is shatter-proof) should be worn at all times.
Protective eye-wear with polycarbonate lenses should be worn for basketball, sports that involve racket, soccer, and field hockey.
