title: Preventing eye injuries. What to tell patients.
abstract: Primary care physicians can help prevent a large number of eye injuries by giving their patients a few simple safety tips. Eye protectors with polycarbonate plastic lenses are recommended for most athletes, regardless of whether they have normal vision or they wear glasses or contact lenses. Polycarbonate lenses in a sturdy frame also offer protection during common daily, recreational, and avocational activities.
