Potentially Blinding Sports-Related Eye Injuries

 

According to Prevent Blindness America, more than 40,000 people a year are treated for potentially blinding sports-related eye injuries. With school sports back in full swing, your child's vision could be at risk. In fact, almost one-third of sports-related eye injuries are to children between the ages of 5 and 14. According to Dr. Kimberly Friedman, former President of the New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians, the good news is that 90% of these eye injuries are preventable.
