Sports Eye Safety: Promoting Vision Protection for Athletes.
This House Resolution emphasizes the importance of wearing proper protective eyewear during sports to prevent eye injuries. It aims to raise awareness, especially among young people, about how simple measures can protect their vision and prevent serious injuries that could impact their lives. It encourages consulting an eye care professional and using equipment that meets safety standards.
Key points
Approximately 30,000 sports-related eye injuries requiring emergency room visits occur each year in the U.S., with most affecting those under 18.
Over 90% of sports and recreation-related eye injuries can be prevented by using appropriate eye and facial protection.
Everyday eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses do not offer adequate protection; specialized protective sports eyewear that has undergone proper safety testing should be used.
April is recognized as Sports Eye Safety Month to promote awareness on this topic.
