Eye injuries in lacrosse: women need their vision less than men?

C S Lapidus1, L B Nelson, J B Jeffers, M Kay, D F Schwarz.   

Abstract

We describe four cases of ocular trauma incurred while playing women's lacrosse without eye protection. Women's lacrosse is potentially hazardous because, unlike men's lacrosse, helmets and face masks are not required. These ocular injuries could have been prevented with the use of protective eyewear.
