Abstract
To inform practitioners of the risk of ocular injury in women's lacrosse and to advocate the mandatory use of protective eyewear. Athletes reported retrospectively, via a questionnaire, on the nature and circumstances leading to their injuries. Four case reports of injury to ocular and adjacent nasal structures are presented. None of the athletes was wearing protective equipment at the time that her injuries were incurred. Mandatory eye protection should be introduced into the game of women's field lacrosse. Eyewear may have prevented the injuries reported in this article.
