Tips for Sports Eye Safety

When it comes to eye safety while playing sports, there are a few important tips to keep in mind. Some of these include:
 

  • Equipment: It is important for everyone to make sure they wear proper eye protection while practicing and competing. A foreign body can make contact with the eyes at any time.
  • Lighting: Only play sports if there is adequate lighting present. Lighting is important for making sure that everyone can see both the other players and the objects in play. A lack of lighting can make it far more likely that someone will suffer an eye injury.
  • Lenses:  Finally, those who need to wear corrective prescription lenses need to make sure they do so every time they set foot on the field. These lenses are prescribed for a reason. While some people might find them uncomfortable, they provide additional protection as well as visual clarity. Wear all prescription lenses as prescribed.
     

Anyone who has questions about sports eye safety should see an eye doctor.
