 Prevent Blindness, Liberty Sport Team Up for Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month

Prevent Blindness and Liberty Sport are teaming up to assist ECPs in educating consumers and raising awareness during Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month this September.

According to the most recent data from Prevent Blindness, most eye injuries occur from water and pool activities than any other sport. And other sports with the most eye injuries include basketball, use of guns (air, gas, spring and BB), baseball/softball and football. 

To help educate patients, ECPs can obtain free information and materials through Liberty Sport's "September is Sports Eye Injury Prevention Awareness Month" campaign. This year's Sport Eye Injury Prevention Kit has been expanded to include the Sports-Related Eye Injuries by Age stat sheet from Prevent Blindness and an ABO course, "Protecting Your Patients Who Are Athletes." ECPs can contact their Liberty Sports representative to request a kit.
