abstract="OBJECTIVE: To inform practitioners of the risk of ocular injury in women's lacrosse and to advocate the mandatory use of protective eyewear. DESIGN, MATERIALS AND METHODS: Athletes reported retrospectively, via a questionnaire, on the nature and circumstances leading to their injuries. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSIONS: Mandatory eye protection should be introduced into the game of women's field lacrosse. Eyewear may have prevented the injuries reported in this article.",
