Conclusion Sport is becoming an increasingly significant cause of severe ocular lesions, and the promoted use of adequate ocular protection is considered to be of the utmost importance. Ocular lesions associated with sport present a potential impact on the provision of services. It is fundamental that ophthalmologists, optometrists, and another healthcare professionals are aware of possible ocular morbidity in the case of sport traumas and the importance of providing advice on how to prevent said lesions. The sports which are responsible for the highest number of lesions are baseball, ice hockey, and racquet sports. Specific criteria must be developed for protection glasses. Impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic lenses and frames offer optimum protection.
