Abstract
Indoor cricket has become a popular form of recreation in Australia. Four cases of significant ocular trauma in indoor cricketers are reported. Three of the patients had diminished visual acuity in at least one eye before their injury. One patient may suffer long-term consequences as a result of his injuries. These injuries could probably have been prevented by the use of appropriate eye protection. Indoor cricketers might well be advised to undergo ocular assessment before taking up this sport.Keywords
