Children are particularly vulnerable to sports eye injuries because their reflexes and coordination are still developing.
Parents can reduce risk by ensuring children:
- Wear protective eyewear during high-risk sports
• Use helmets with face shields when appropriate
• Avoid playing sports with regular glasses
Encouraging safe habits early helps protect vision for a lifetime.
