A questionnaire survey on eye injuries and attitudes towards protective eyewear was conducted among 165 metropolitan pennant squash players; 163 (99%) valid responses were received. The incidence of eye injuries in the survey sample was found to be 17.5 per 100,000 playing hours with a significant proportion (26%) indicating that they had suffered at least one eye injury. Racquets were more common as the source of injury (61%) than squash balls. A large proportion of those injured consulted a doctor (63%) with approximately one-third (or 5% of the total survey sample) having been admitted to hospital for the injury. Only 8% of the sample used appropriate protective eyewear with an additional 2% believing their prescription lenses were a form of protection. The main reason given for using protective eyewear was previous injury to self or others (65% of cases). Doctors and media promotion rated poorly in causing players to use eyewear (6% for each). Most respondents believed eyewear to be of benefit, but fewer than half felt that eyewear should be made compulsory for all players. Only 6% of players said that they would give up the game if use of eyewear was made compulsory.
对165名大城市壁球运动员进行了一项关于眼部受伤情况及对防护眼镜态度的问卷调查；共收到163份（99%）有效回复。调查样本中眼部受伤的发生率为每10万比赛小时17.5例，相当大比例（26%）的运动员表示他们至少受过一次眼部损伤。球拍作为致伤源（61%）比壁球更常见。很大一部分受伤者（63%）咨询过医生，约三分之一（即占总调查样本的5%）因伤住院。样本中只有8%的人使用了合适的防护眼镜，另有2%的人认为他们的配镜眼镜也算一种防护形式。使用防护眼镜的主要原因是自己或他人曾有过受伤经历（65%的情况）。医生和媒体宣传在促使运动员使用眼镜方面得分很低（各占6%）。大多数受访者认为眼镜有益，但不到一半的人觉得应该强制所有运动员佩戴。只有6%的运动员表示如果强制使用眼镜他们就会放弃这项运动。
