Thirty-seven cases of ocular injury incurred while persons were playing racquetball were found in reviewing records of 1,071 emergency room patients in a three-month period. These can be divided into ball-induced and racquet-induced injuries. Fifteen ball-induced injuries occurred, ranging from a corneal abrasion to vitreous hemorrhage, in a patient with sickle cell retinopathy. Twenty-two cases of racquet-induced brow lacerations that occurred when the player struck his (or her) own forehead with the racquet were found. During the same interval, five tennis-related ocular injuries were observed. Ocular safety devices are strongly recommended to help prevent racquetball injuries.
在对1071名急诊室患者三个月期间的记录进行审查时，发现有37例在打壁球时发生的眼外伤病例。这些病例可分为球致伤和球拍致伤。发生了15例球致伤，从角膜擦伤到玻璃体积血，其中一名患者患有镰状细胞视网膜病变。发现了22例球拍致眉部裂伤，是球员用球拍击中自己额头时发生的。在同一时期，还观察到5例与网球相关的眼外伤。强烈建议使用眼部安全装置以帮助预防壁球运动损伤。
