Abstract
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. Verf.-Referat
