title: Ocular injuries in squash competitors.
abstract: Squash players are liable to suffer serious eye injuries if they do not take appropriate protective measures. The author presents a short case study which illustrates the type of injury that can be sustained, and argues that nurses and interested associations must become involved in health education activities to reduce the high incidence of injuries during squash matches.
