    Commercial open-type eyeguards fail to prevent eye injuries in squash. This study shows these protective devices are inadequate against high-velocity ball impacts, recommending design improvements for better player safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Squash players experience eye injuries despite wearing open-type eyeguards.
    • Existing eyeguard designs may have critical flaws compromising player safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally assess the protective capabilities of open-type eyeguards against high-velocity squash ball impacts.
    • To identify design deficiencies in current eyeguards that lead to eye trauma.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulated an open-type eyeguard aperture in a laboratory setting.
    • Observed and recorded the deformation of high-velocity squash balls upon impact with the simulated aperture.

    Main Results:

    • Open-type eyeguards demonstrated inadequacy in preventing eye trauma from ball strikes.

  • The study confirmed that the design of these eyeguards does not sufficiently protect the eye.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current open-type eyeguards are insufficient for preventing squash-related eye injuries.
    • Recommendations are provided for enhancing eyeguard design to improve player eye protection.
