Eye Protection: A Slam Dunk for Safety
In a decisive moment during a Big East tournament game, Villanova's Allan Ray collided with a Pittsburgh player in a startling accident. Thanks to the swift action of a tournament doctor who called an ophthalmologist, Ray's eyesight was preserved.
"This young man is very fortunate, as he could have suffered a career-ending injury," explained Dr. John Stechschulte, Assistant Clinical Professor at Ohio State University and member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Experts agree that many sports-related eye injuries can be avoided with protective eyewear. Athletes now have access to a variety of sturdy, lightweight options. With polycarbonate lenses and a custom fit by an eye care specialist, these eyewear solutions don’t compromise performance and can prevent 90% of eye injuries in sports. Different sports require specific protective gear, and eye health professionals can help athletes choose the right kind.
"Thanks to skilled ophthalmologists, like the one who saved Ray's vision, athletes can receive top-notch care to minimize vision loss and return to their sport," Dr. Stechschulte noted. "Yet, prevention is the key to maintaining eyesight and keeping athletes in the game."
Todd Baker, Executive Director of the Ohio State Ophthalmological Society and head of Ohio's "Play Hard. Don't Blink" Program, emphasized, "We've been working with youth sports to make eye protection standard equipment and plan to do the same with basketball teams this year. The aim is to integrate protective eyewear into sports culture before serious injuries occur."
The Academy, with over 27,000 members globally, is the largest association of eye physicians and surgeons. Eye care is delivered by the three "O's"?"opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists. Among them, ophthalmologists, or Eye M.D.s, are equipped to handle all eye diseases, injuries, and surgeries.
Make eye protection an essential part of the game?"because safeguarding vision is always a win.
