“…In terms of sports modalities, four articles were found considering swimming, gymnastics and cycling, denominated low risk sports [2,[8][9][10][11]. Twenty three articles mentioned injuries related to high risk sports as floorball (hockey), badminton, handball, basketball, golf, rugby, volleyball, water polo and soccer [2,5,6,. Considering "very high-risk" sports category, four articles had registers about boxing among which one described an isolated eyelid traumatic laceration related to karate [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

“…The higher incidence of soccer is due to the fact that this sport is the most practiced in the world, and not because of the dangerousness [5]. On the other hand, boxing has also an elevated prevalence of ocular trauma even with all changes that happened in this sport all over the years as the gloves material variation, their increase in weight and the fights shorter duration.…”

“…Ultimately, demonstrated that the use of correct eye protection could reduce or even eliminate unnecessary traumas that are easily preventable [2,5,7,[12][13][14][15]19,22,24,29]. The majority eye-trauma reports came from USA and England probably because of the great coverage of their data center and patient's information systems although those found in English articles are not specific reports.…”

“…Eye sports injuries, despite lower incidence, possess great impact in athlete's performance and might shutdown athletes from the competition [2][3][4][5]. During Beijing Summer Olympic Games in 2008, 135 athletes suffered eye injuries, representing approximately 4% of all injuries reports [1,6].…”

Eye sports injuries, despite lower incidence, possess great impact in athlete's performance and might shutdown athletes from the competition. This article aims to review eye injuries published in indexed literature related to sports that will be presented at the Summer Olympics Games-Rio 2016. Methods:A critical literature review of articles was performed. Study analysis was conducted using online databases-Pubmed and BVS-selecting case reports, series of cases and reviews related to eye injuries in sports of which were only selected information's about the sports practiced on Olympic Summer GamesRio 2016 with no language restriction, published in a twenty years period (1996 -2016). Other sports that were not in the list of the Olympic Summer Games-Rio 2016 as the modalities practiced only in Winter Olympic Games were excluded from the study. The keywords used were 'athletic eye injuries', 'open globe trauma in sports', 'ocular trauma', 'ophthalmologic injuries', 'eye trauma', 'trauma in Olympic games' and 'eye injuries'.Results: USA and England published most of the articles. Corneal abrasion/ulcer and conjunctival hemorrhage were the most frequent injuries reported. Boxing was responsible for the most devastating ocular trauma cases. Conclusion:The review of indexed literature showed about 970 eyes with sports-related ocular traumas varying from mild to severe in accordance with the 39 sports practiced on the Olympic Summer Games in 2016. Ophthalmologist should be aware of most dangerous sports and type of lesion caused to better inform patients.

“…Similarly, in the 2-year study performed before the national mandate, there were no significant differences in concussion rates between the 2 groups (OR 1.05 95% CI 0.63 to 1.75, P = .86). 21 After the NFHS protective eyewear mandate in fall 2011, the incidence rate for concussions sustained in HS field hockey increased from 0. …”

To determine if injury rates among female field hockey players differ before and after implementation of a national mandate for protective eyewear (MPE). METHODS:We analyzed girls' field hockey exposure and injury data collected from national (High School Reporting Information Online [RIO]) and regional (Fairfax County Public Schools) high school sports injury databases in 2 seasons before (2009/10 and 2010/11) and 2 seasons after (2011/12 and 2012/13) a national MPE. RESULTS:The incidence of eye/orbital injuries was significantly higher in states without MPE (0.080 injuries per 1000 athletic exposures [AEs]) than in states with MPE (before the 2011/12 mandate) and the postmandate group (0.025 injuries per 1000 AEs) (odds ratio 3.20, 95% confidence interval 1.47-6.99, P = .003). There was no significant difference in concussion rates for the 2 groups (odds ratio 0.77, 95% confidence interval 0.58-1.02, P = .068). After the 2011/12 MPE, severe eye/orbital injuries (time loss .21 days) were reduced by 67%, and severe/medical disqualification head/face injuries were reduced by 70%. Concussion rates for field hockey (0.335 per 1000 AEs) rank third among girls' sports included in the High School RIO surveillance program.CONCLUSIONS: Among female high school field hockey players, MPE is associated with a reduced incidence of eye/orbital injuries and fewer severe eye/orbital and head/face injuries. Concussion rates did not change as a result of the national MPE. Concussion remains the most common injury involving the head and face among female field hockey players, prompting further inquiry into potential effects of adopting protective headgear/helmets. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:A previous national study conducted over 2 seasons by this group of authors demonstrated the effectiveness of mandated protective eyewear in reducing eye/ orbital, concussive, and head/facial injuries in high school girls' field hockey.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Data collected from regional/national high school sports injury surveillance databases by certified athletic trainers over 4 seasons has shown that nationally mandated protective eyewear results in a greater than 3-fold reduced risk of eye/ orbital injuries in girls playing high school field hockey.
