title: Eye Injuries in Sports: Results of a Five-Year Study.
abstract: In brief: From 1982 to 1986, Quebec ophthalmologists reported 869 sports-related eye injuries. Hyphema was the most common injury, with a frequency of 33%. Most injuries occurred in ice hockey, followed by racket sports (32% and 28%, respectively); most of the injured players were not wearing eye protection. The authors suggest that wearing eye protection should be mandatory in some sports and encouraged in many others.
