Let’s start with sports! What is the leading cause of eye injuries in children ages 11-14?

Correct! Wrong!

Eye injuries are the leading cause of blindness in children and most eye injuries among kids aged 11-14 occur while playing sports. Children’s sports eye injuries can range from abrasions of the cornea and bruises of the lid to internal eye injuries, such as retinal detachments and internal bleeding. Nearly 43 percent of sports-related eye injuries involve children under the age of 15 and boys between the ages of 11 and 15 are up to five times more likely to sustain eye injuries requiring hospital treatment than girls of the same age.

How many eye injuries on average are credited to sports-related activities each year, according to the National Eye Institute?

Correct! Wrong!

There are 100,000 sports-related eye injuries sustained each year – children, teens, and college athletes make up the majority of those affected but active adults are beginning to represent a growing number of those incidents.

Which sport is most likely to result in an eye injury in children 15 years old and older?

Correct! Wrong!

Most eye injuries among kids aged 11 to 14 occur while playing sports. Baseball is the primary cause of sports related eye injuries in 5-14 year olds and basketball is the leading cause of sports eye injuries in children 15 or older.

Experts believe up to __% of sports-related injuries can be prevented with protective eyewear?

Correct! Wrong!

Protective eyewear can prevent 90% of sports-related eye injuries and experts agree that protective eyewear MUST meet rigorous ASTM F803 standards.

Wearing regular prescription eyewear or sunglasses is actually riskier when playing sports - true or false?

Correct! Wrong!

Everyday eyewear (whether it’s prescription or sunglasses) creates an even greater risk for injury than those using NO eye protection at all.

Switching gears to workplace safety, how many eye-related injuries occur in an average workday across the US?

Correct! Wrong!

Every day, 2000 US workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical attention. Two major reasons workers experience eye injuries on the job are not wearing eye protection and wearing the wrong kind of eye protection for the job.

The term PPE is short for Personal Protective Equipment. Is eye protection considered a part of regularly used PPE?

Correct! Wrong!

Head, eye and face protection can be some of the most important parts of personal protective equipment depending on the industry and type of occupation.

Workplace eye injuries from manufacturing, construction, and mining make-up what percentage of all non-fatal eye injuries?

Correct! Wrong!

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 300,000 emergency department visits every year are the result of on-the-job eye injuries, and 40 percent of all job-related eye injuries occur in three main industries: construction, mining, and manufacturing.
