SETTLEMENT | HOUSE SHOPS ------------ VISION REPORT 183 Queen St., Port Perry (905) 985-8234 180 Mary St., Port Perry (behind the Post Office) by Dr. Darryl Workman "A Doctor of Optometry (Optometrist) is an independent primary health care provider whe specializes in the examination, diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye and associated structures as well as the diagnosis of related systematic conditions." KEEP YOUR STI With the start of hockey season, | feel that more awareness among players and parents is required regarding eye safety. 90% of sports eye injuries could be prevented with proper eye protection. Baseball and basketball have the highest incidence of sports eye injuries (each between 3000 - 4000 injuries / year in the USA) due to a lack of mandatory eye protection regulations. In China, badminton is a popular sport, and is one of the leading causes of eye injury. Sports which involve fast-moving balls, birdies or pucks have the potential for more serious, blinding eye injuries such as retinal detachments. Since 1972, there have been more than 285 recorded cases of Canadian hockey players losing sight in one eye. These are usually kids on frozen ponds, old-timers like those in the Scugog Hockey League, or talented junior players. When you suddenly become blind in one eye, you may be able to see clearly with the other eye, but in sports more is required, than just clear vision. Aspects of vision that are lost are peripheral vision, focusing ability, depth perception and the ability to accurately judge speed and distance of moving targets. These deficits will seriously impair athletic ability. As well, an NHL bylaw prohibits one-eyed players from entering the league. Besides Lindros' near-serious eye injury last season, an Edmonton defenceman was forced into early retirement after a puck blinded his left eye. Most athletes react immediately when they pull a muscle, yet take their eyesight for granted. Dr. Workman recommends that eye protection be used in all sports to avoid risking your vision. Those who have suffered eye injuries should have thorough eye assessment of the internal and external eye, and of the eye muscles as well. In hockey a full face shield is recommended to prevent a stick from getting under your mask. For those who wear spectacles, it is difficult to comfortably wear them under a mask, in addition to problems with fogging lenses. Contact lenses eliminate these problems in addition lo increasing your peripheral vision. Contact lens therapy is also provided by Dr. Workman in addition to protective sports eyewear. Because the emphasis is on Eyecare rather than just Eyewear ... For an eye examination please call Dr. Darryl Workman 85-1361 or come and visit us at our office N THE ICE.
