Is the Eye Protection Necessary?
While the chance of an eye injury in squash isn’t high, it’s definitely possible to get hit not just with a ball but with your opponent’s racket as well!
Even on the pro scene there have been cases of eye injuries with consequences such as:
- 3 months without a full vision
- detached and torn retina, extreme pain and 2 long surgeries
- unable to open the eye for several weeks
And you can even loose an eye completely, so we recommend wearing an eye protection whenever playing squash.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
