Abstract
• Ocular Injuries suffered by 38 hockey players during a three-year period were studied. The severity of the injurles required hospitalization for 16 of the patients. Twelve players require follow-up care for possible late complications from the following conditions: angle recession (seven cases), subluxated lens (three cases), traumatic cataract (three cases), detachment of the retina (two cases), and enucleation (one case). The use of a fullface protective mask affixed to an adequate helmet is recommended for all hockey players.
