Athletes often skip protective eyewear despite common sports eye injuries. This study found no significant visual field loss when wearing protective goggles, encouraging their use.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Athletic Training

Background:

  • Sports-related eye injuries represent a significant risk to athletes.
  • Protective eyewear usage among athletes remains notably low.
  • Concerns exist regarding potential visual field impairment from protective gear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether wearing protective eyewear causes significant visual field loss in athletes.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for the adoption of eye protection in sports.

Main Methods:

  • Standard kinetic visual field testing was performed on one author.
  • Testing was conducted both with and without the use of athletic eye goggles.
  • Comparative analysis assessed for differences in visual field performance.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference in visual field was detected between testing conditions (with and without goggles).
  • The use of eye goggles did not result in measurable visual field constriction.

Conclusions:

  • Protective eyewear does not appear to cause significant visual field loss.
  • Healthcare professionals and coaches should actively promote eye protection for athletes.
  • Reassurance regarding visual field integrity can encourage greater adoption of safety equipment.
