Sports Eye Safety

Sports Eye Safety Tips

If you or your child are involved in sports, then it can be important to play safe while you have fun and compete. Here are tips that can help you and your children prevent eye injuries in sports.

Protective Gear

There are a few steps we can take to help prevent eye injuries in sports and one of those is the use of protective gear. Each sport has its own set of protective gear, including protective face and eye equipment. Sports like baseball, basketball, and hockey, among others, offer gear such as face shields, goggles, and other protective equipment for players. Like any protective equipment, it is also important to wear your protective gear properly.

Awareness

Another key to preventing eye injuries is teaching players about awareness. Simply paying attention to your surroundings and the activities, plays, or players around you can be an eye-saver. Paying attention to who is warming up with a bat, or who is practicing shots, can go a long way from keeping your person out of harm's way on and off the field.
