Abstract
PURPOSE To assess what eyewear (if any) reduces eye injury incidence and severity in squash, racketball, tennis and badminton. DESIGN Systematic review following the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' (PRISMA) and the 'implementing Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilitation, Sport medicine and SporTs science' (PERSiST) guidelines. METHODS PubMed, SportDiscus and Web of Science were searched on 22nd February 2023. All study types except reviews were eligible. Studies had to report the type of eyewear worn (if any) with a form of eye injury incidence and severity. RESULTS 364 papers were initially retrieved and after the screening process 29 remained. A subgroup analysis was carried out on studies that had a sample size of five or above, were not only looking at a particular type of eye injury and that had sufficient data to allow the percentage of eye injuries that occurred when no eyewear was worn to be calculated. From this analysis, the median percentage of eye injuries that occurred when no eyewear was worn was found to be 93%. Some of these injuries were serious and required complex treatment. Prescription lenses, contact lenses and industrial eyewear made some injuries more severe. In squash and racketball, lensless eye guards were ineffective as the ball could deform on impact, still making contact with the eye. Only eyewear compliant with updated ASTM (or similar) standards was associated with no eye injuries and so provided adequate protection in all four sports. CONCLUSIONS Although this systematic review only summarizes evidence on injuries requiring hospital treatment, it is recommended that national governing bodies and key decision makers within squash, racketball, tennis and badminton examine the evidence presented and consider extending existing rules or implementing new recommendations and policies on protective eyewear use to reduce eye injury incidence and severity in their sport.

Maldoddi R, Gella L. Eye injuries in badminton - players' perspective toward the usage of personal protective equipment. PHYSICIAN SPORTSMED 2024; 52:46-51. [PMID: 36533330 DOI: 10.1080/00913847.2022.2159564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted a survey between April to September 2021 to understand the perspective of badminton players on the usage of personal protective equipment to avoid eye injuries. METHODS The survey was conducted online. It was disseminated through various social media platforms and via e-mail. The survey was initially shared with university-level badminton players. Both recreational and professional players were included. They were further encouraged to circulate the survey questionnaire among their colleagues. RESULTS In total, the survey received 372 responses. After removing possible duplicates and incomplete responses (n = 28), 92.5% (n = 344) of the responses were included in the final analysis. Among the 344 included responses, recreational and professional players accounted for 77.6% (n = 267) and 22.4% (n = 77), respectively. The mean age ± SD of the recreational and professional players were 24.1 ± 6.3 years (range 14-60 years) and 25.7 ± 6.0 years (range 14-61 years), respectively. A significant difference was noted for self-reported eye injuries between recreational and professional players while playing badminton (χ2 value = 5.321, p = 0.02). Among the recreational and professional players, 93.6% (n = 250) and 88.3% (n = 68) did not use protective eyewear while playing badminton. Professional players were at higher risk of eye injuries than recreational players (OR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.1-7.8). CONCLUSION The majority of badminton players in both groups agreed that PPE usage would lower the risk of sustaining eye injuries; however, they are ambiguous about the usage of protective eyewear. In contrast, players with self-reported eye injuries were aware of its impacts and encouraged the usage of PPEs associated with badminton. Further studies are warranted to understand and educate badminton players about the causes and impacts of eye injuries in badminton.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the nature of badminton-related eye injuries in the published literature. METHODS A review of the literature with key word and MeSH terms: 'Eye injury', 'Ocular trauma', 'Badminton' 'Shuttlecock' using CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Informit Health Collection databases. Papers were reviewed to assess the circumstances of the injury, patient demographics and clinical data. RESULTS 19 studies from 1974 to 2020 from 12 countries reported 378 monocular badminton-related eye injuries from 378 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 2.5:1. A closed globe injury was sustained in 97% of eyes and a shuttlecock responsible for 85% of injuries. Doubles play, the shuttlecock and a lack of eye protection were associated with eye injury. CONCLUSION Vision impairment was associated with the majority of badminton-related eye injuries, and doubles play, the shuttlecock and a lack of eye protection were risk factors.

Abstract
Purpose Blunt ocular trauma rarely results in optic nerve avulsion. Here, we report a case of incomplete optic nerve avulsion caused by the impact of a badminton shuttlecock. Observations The patient was a 16-year-old healthy male. A badminton shuttlecock hit his right eye from a short distance. On his first visit to the local eye clinic, his visual acuity in the right eye was hand motion. About 4-mm hyphema in height was observed in the right eye. Three days after the injury, visual acuity improved to 20/50, but the intraocular pressure increased to 40 mmHg; hence, intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medication was initiated. Five days after the injury, although hyphema had decreased gradually, he noticed a worsening of vision and was referred to our department. In his right eye, visual acuity was reduced to finger-counting, IOP was 38 mmHg. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye revealed a dilated pupil, hyphema, and angle recession. Fundus examination revealed dilation of the central retinal vein and edematous changes around the optic nerve head. Optical coherence tomography showed a very deep depression of the optic nerve head and partial rupture of the optic nerve axons. B-mode ultrasonography showed hypolucency just posterior to the optic nerve head. Goldmann perimetry revealed a central visual field defect in the right eye. Computed tomography showed no signs of optic canal fracture. These findings suggest that incomplete optic nerve avulsion had occurred. We performed IOP-lowering and anti-inflammatory therapy. After treatment, visual acuity was restored to 20/50, and the deep depression of the optic nerve head recovered to an almost normal range. Conclusion and Importance It was assumed that the impact of the badminton shuttlecock caused irreversible changes in the optic nerve head, but the visual function partially improved with IOP-lowering and anti-inflammatory therapy. Because eye injury in badminton can cause severe damage to visual function, every badminton player needs to wear an appropriate eye shield, and rules or guidelines to prevent untoward accidents are needed in badminton.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main objective of this retrospective study was to establish an epidemiological overview of patients admitted to an Emergency department specialized in musculo-skeletal trauma for acute lesions related to Badminton practice in the period from January 1st 2010 to January 1st 2015. METHODS There were 135 patients with 140 admissions and 146 total number of injuries. There were 67 females (48%) and 73 males (52%). The mean age was 28 ± 13.8 years, ranging 10-66 years. 91 patients (65%) could be contacted by telephone to fill a questionnaire aimed at completing the information provided by the medical records. RESULTS 129 lesions (88.3%) were located to the lower limbs, 16 (11%) to the upper limbs, and one (0.7%) at the head. For the whole series, there were 89 sprains (60.9%), 32 tendino-muscular lesions (21.9%), 13 fractures (8.9%), 5 dislocations (3.4%), 3 painful contusions (2.1%), 3 meniscal injuries (2.1%) and one wound (0.7%). In the lower limbs, lateral ankle sprain was the most frequent diagnosis (43.4%), followed successively by rupture of the Achilles tendon (13.9%), tennis leg (8.5%), and mid-foot sprain (6.9%). Of the 146 lesions, 117 (80.1%) received non-operative treatment, 28 (19.1%) received surgical treatment in the operation room, and one simple wound (0.7%) was sutured in the emergency room. CONCLUSIONS Lateral ankle sprains followed by tendino-muscular lesions of the calf are by far the most frequent lesions of badminton. Modification of the shoes of badminton players should be considered to decrease the high incidence of ankle injuries.

Abstract
Sports-related ocular traumas may be rare, but can have devastating and disabling consequences. The causes of eye-related injuries depend on the type of sports popular in a particular area or country. Badminton is a popular sport played by all age groups and socioeconomic segments and is popular in many parts of the world. It is most popular in South-East Asia, accounting for two-thirds of all ocular sports injury in Malaysia. In India, badminton has become quite popular in recent years. Shuttlecocks in badminton have been shown to be responsible for a high number of outpatient ocular sports-related, mostly blunt injuries. We report an unusual case of penetrating ocular injury due to a feather shuttlecock and its surgical management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe ocular injuries caused by badminton and to explore the implications for future prevention strategies. METHODS We enrolled 85 patients with ocular trauma caused by badminton. Information collected from patients included type of game, instigator, instrument of injury and lessons in badminton from a professional, and ocular trauma information such as type of injury, treatment and final outcomes. RESULTS The 85 patients (52 men, 33 women) were aged 15-65 years with an average age of 42.9 (±10.7) years. In 60 cases the player was hit by a shuttlecock and in 25 the player was hit by a racquet. 73 cases occurred in doubles matches and 10 in singles matches. In 31 cases the trauma was caused by an opponent and in 52 cases by a partner; 2 cases involved bystanders, not players. About 70% (43/61) of the injured and 82% (40/49) of the instigators had not received badminton lessons from a professional. 80 injuries were non-penetrating and 5 were penetrating. There were 58 cases with hyphaema, 36 with secondary glaucoma, 23 with lens subluxation and 2 with retinal detachment. Surgery comprised phacoemulsification or lensectomy and vitrectomy in 16 cases, silicone oil tamponade in 2 cases, trabeculectomy in 3 cases and direct cyclopexy in 5 cases. CONCLUSION The vast majority of the badminton related eye injuries occurred among doubles players and were instigated by the injured person's partner. Non-penetrating injury was more frequent; penetrating injury was usually more serious. We recommend that badminton players use protective eyewear and receive safety education and professional coaching/instruction on techniques to protect against serious eye injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-penetrating ocular injuries from badminton shuttlecocks can result in severe damage and life-long complications. This case series highlights the morbidity of such injuries, particularly in regard to post-traumatic glaucoma. METHODS This is a retrospective case series of 12 patients with shuttlecock-related blunt eye injuries sustained during badminton play without eye protection. By approaching colleagues through conference presentations and networking, the authors have attempted to gather all known cases of shuttlecock ocular injury managed in tertiary ocular emergency departments or private ophthalmological clinics in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia in 2015. RESULTS This is the first multicentre case series to describe badminton-related ocular injuries in Australia. Our case series demonstrates, in particular, long-term glaucoma-related morbidity for patients over a large age range (16 to 77 years), with one patient requiring ongoing management 26 years following their initial injury. The cases reported further add to the literature promoting awareness of badminton-related ocular injury. CONCLUSIONS We encourage player education and advocacy on badminton-related eye injuries and appropriate use of eye protection to reduce associated morbidity.

Abstract
Badminton is a famous sport usually played without any protective eyewear. Ocular injury from one's own partner in a doubles game, with the shuttlecock, is rare. Two untrained badminton players presented with severe ocular trauma during a smash shot from the partner in a 'doubles' game. Both the players developed blind eye (vision <3/60) in spite of immediate treatment. This article describes an unusual mode of severe blunt trauma with a shuttlecock while playing a 'doubles' game, leading to coup-countercoup injury. In addition, the article highlights the need for awareness of the fatal ocular complications and life-long visual disability, especially in untrained badminton enthusiasts.

Abstract
Badminton is a famous sport usually played without any protective eyewear. Ocular injury from one's own partner in a doubles game, with the shuttlecock, is rare. Two untrained badminton players presented with severe ocular trauma during a smash shot from the partner in a 'doubles' game. Both the players developed blind eye (vision <3/60) in spite of immediate treatment. This article describes an unusual mode of severe blunt trauma with a shuttlecock while playing a 'doubles' game, leading to coup-countercoup injury. In addition, the article highlights the need for awareness of the fatal ocular complications and life-long visual disability, especially in untrained badminton enthusiasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As part of the Department of Health strategy The Health of the Nation, a systematic review of published and unpublished literature relating to the effectiveness of interventions in reducing accidental injury in the population aged 15-24 years was carried out. METHODS The literature was reviewed under the standard setting headings of road, work, home, and sports and leisure, and graded for quality of evidence and strength of recommendation using a scale published in the UK national epidemiologically based needs assessment programme. RESULTS The most effective measures appear to be legislative and regulatory controls in road, sport, and workplace settings. Environmental engineering measures on the road and in sports have relatively low implementation costs and result in fewer injuries at all ages. There is little evidence that purely educational measures reduced injuries in the short term. Community based approaches may be effective in all age groups, and incentives to encourage safer behaviour hold promise but require further evaluation. The potential of multifactorial approaches seems greater than narrowly based linear approaches. CONCLUSIONS Few interventions to reduce injury in adolescents have been rigorously evaluated using good quality randomised controlled trials, and where such evidence is available, fewer have been shown to be definitely worthwhile. Many studies relied on surrogate measures rather than actual injury rates, and substantial issues relating to the efficacy or implementation of preventive measures in adolescent and young adult populations remain unresolved.

Abstract
Eye injury sustained during sport is increasing in incidence worldwide, reflecting the rise in popularity of sport as recreation. It can account for up to 25% of severe eye injuries. This paper considers the historical context and demography of sports injuries, and the physical mechanisms and results of various types of ocular trauma in relation to sport. It reviews the specific problems associated with the sports considered to be most important in the epidemiology of eye injuries today. Certain sports, such as boxing, have an intrinsic risk of injury so high that some consider the sport should be banned. The risk of injury in many sports can be mitigated by changes in rules, such as the prevention of high sticking in ice hockey. Other sports with high risk of trauma could be made far safer with the widespread introduction of eye protection, and this applies especially to squash and badminton. The various types of eye protection are discussed. There is an urgent need to increase awareness of the risk of eye injury, to teach safe techniques, and to encourage the use of appropriate ocular protective wear in those at high risk of injury, especially the one-eyed.

Abstract
A one year prospective study was undertaken to assess all sports injuries requiring inpatient treatment at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. (1 January to 31 December 1987.) Fifty two patients were admitted (25.1% of all admissions due to trauma). Racquet sports accounted for 51.9% of these cases. Eight patients required 12 surgical procedures and there were 3 perforating injuries. Sport is becoming an increasingly important cause of severe eye injury and the encouragement of adequate ocular protection is now a matter of urgency.

Abstract
A prospective study of ocular injuries sustained during sport, was performed from January to June 1987. A total of 84 eye injuries were seen. Of these, 23 were severe enough to necessitate admission to hospital. These latter accounted for one quarter of all severe eye injuries during this period. Racquet sports caused 42% of the injuries, and 57% of the hospital admissions, including two penetrating injuries. The importance of sport in causing eye trauma is increasing. It is crucial to encourage safer play, including the wearing of adequate eye protection.
