TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Eye protectors for squash players JO - Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology A1 - Clemett, R. S. A1 - Glogau, T. H. A1 - Jackson, B. R. A1 - McKenzie, K. D. A1 - Stevenson, D. C. SP - 151 EP - 156 VL - 15 IS - 2 N2 - Eye injuries have occurred to squash players wearing commercial open-type eyeguards, suggesting inadequacies in their design. This study reports experimental observations on the deformation of high velocity squash balls at an aperture simulating an open-type of eyeguard. Open eyeguards were shown to be inadequate in preventing eye trauma by ball-strike. Recommendations for improvement of eyeguard design have been made.
