PROTECTIVE
EYE WEAR
The
Fallingbrook Badminton Club strongly recommends that all players wear
protective eyewear that meets ASTM Standard F803 for squash/badminton, and
endorses the following resolution which was passed at the Ontario Badminton
Association Annual General Meeting in June 2005.
"Whereas
the impact of shuttlecocks and badminton racquets with the eye has resulted in
severe eye injuries, including, in very rare cases, the permanent loss of sight
in the affected eye of badminton players; and
the
Canadian Ophthalmological Society recommends the use of eye protectors by
badminton players; and
the
use of appropriate eye protectors has been found to reduce the risk of
significant eye injury by at least 90%, when fitted properly; and
the
incidence of eye injuries to badminton players has been reported to be greater
than that in squash and racquetball players and that this has been attributed
to the increased use of eye protectors by players in these sports; and
The
American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM F803) "Standard
Specifications for Eye Protectors for Selective Sports" indicates that Eye
Protectors that provide eye protection against the impact of a squash ball will
provide similar protection against the impact of shuttlecocks and badminton
racquets; and
The
American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Ophthalmology Policy
Statement, "Protective Eyewear for Young Athletes (2004): indicates:
"streetwear (fashion) spectacles that conform to the requirements of
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard Z80.3.11, and safety
eyewear that conforms to the requirements of ANSI standard Z87.1,12 which is
mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for industrial
and educational safety eyewear, are not satisfactory for eye-injury risk
sports" because streetwear frames are often fragile and have poor lens
retention properties and standard Z87.1,12 is not designed to test for the
impact of projectiles and racquets used in racquet sports; and
the
Ontario Badminton Association has a duty to advise its members and badminton
players at large (and their parents) of avoidable risks associated with the
sport and the means to mitigate these risks,
BE
IT RESOLVED that the ONTARIO BADMINTON ASSOCIATION strongly recommends that all
players wear eye protectors which meet or exceed the impact standards set out
in ASTM F803 "STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR EYE PROTECTORS FOR SELECTED
SPORTS" for BADMINTON/SQUASH".
