While eye injuries are rare in squash and racketball, you may wish to consider wearing protective eyewear on court. This particularly applies when playing doubles and in junior squash, where eye protection is mandatory in competition.

To meet this requirement England Squash & Racketball, together with ophthalmic specialists, doctors,
optical agencies and the British Standards Institution, undertook a considerable workload over a number of years to formulate the “British Standard for Eye Protectors for Racket Sports – BS7930.1 Squash. This Standard was published in 1998 and since that date, numerous manufacturers have submitted their eye protectors for testing.
