Of all the causes of eye injury, gunshot has recently been cited as resulting in the highest rate of blindness and the lowest rate of visual recovery. Many of these cases are hunting accidents in which safety glasses could have prevented or lessened ocular damage. To evaluate the effectiveness of various types of safety glasses, we fired a Remington automatic shotgun at mannequin heads fitted with one of four types of safety lenses. From a distance of 10 yards, only polycarbonate lenses provided even partial protection. At 30 yards, polycarbonate and heat-treated lenses provided the best protection, whereas chemically treated and CR39 lenses provided significantly less protection. We recommend that hunters using shotguns in areas of poor visibility wear widely available polycarbonate safety glasses as well as "hunter's orange" to minimize their risk of devastating ocular gunshot injury.
在所有导致眼部受伤的原因中，枪击最近被认为是导致失明率最高且视力恢复率最低的原因。其中许多案例是狩猎事故，而在这些事故中，安全眼镜本可预防或减轻眼部损伤。为评估各类安全眼镜的有效性，我们用雷明顿自动猎枪向装有四种安全镜片之一的人体模型头部射击。在10码的距离，只有聚碳酸酯镜片能提供哪怕是部分保护。在30码的距离，聚碳酸酯镜片和热处理镜片提供了最佳保护，而化学处理镜片和CR39镜片提供的保护则明显较少。我们建议在能见度差的区域使用猎枪的猎人佩戴随处可得的聚碳酸酯安全眼镜以及“猎人橙”，以将其遭受毁灭性眼部枪伤的风险降至最低。
