title: Preventing Eye Injuries in Sports: Some Questions and Answers.
abstract: In brief: The frequency of eye injuries in sports raises numerous questions about preventive eye care for athletes: What style of frame and type of lens material provide the best protection for athletes, especially those who play racket sports? Are polycarbonate lenses available in sunglasses? What is polycarbonate? What standards are used to ensure that an eye protector is safe and effective? Should the government intervene by mandating the use of protective eye wear for certain sports? The author addresses these and other issues.
