<h2>Gear up!</h2>
<p>If you play sports, you know they can be a lot of fun. The last thing you want to do is miss a game, especially if its because youre hurt. Thats why you should always follow the rules and wear the right safety gear.</p>
<p>Think about your favorite sport. Do you wear anything to protect your eyes, like goggles or a face mask? You might think you dont need protective eyewear, but sports-related eye injuries are serious. Eye injuries are a leading cause of blindness among children in the United States. The good news is that most eye injuries can be prevented with the right protective eyewear.</p>
<p>Check out the list below to see examples of some sports that may put you at high risk for eye injuries.</p>

<h2>Protective Eyewear Fast Facts</h2>
<ul>
<li>Everyone should wear protective eyewear.</li>
<li>Ordinary prescription glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses wont protect you from injuries. Most protective eyewear can be made to match your prescription.</li>
<li>For the best protection, use eyewear made of ultra-strong polycarbonate.</li>
<li>Choose eyewear specifically made for your sport and make sure it fits comfortably on your face.</li>
</ul>
<p>Check out our <a href="/learn-about-eye-health/nei-for-kids/protective-eyewear">Protective Eyewear</a> page and talk to an adult to find out what gear you need. Then wear the gear whenever youre practicing or playing.</p>
