Description: Floorball - a common cause of sport related eye injury The aim of this study was to survey the incidence and type of sport related to eye injuries with special interest in floorball. A prospective study was conducted December 1st 2013 through November 30th 2014 at the Department of Ophthalmology, Örebro University Hospital. All patients presenting with an acute sports related eye injury were offered to be included. Information was collected from a self-administered questionnaire and from medical journals. During the study period, 49 patients sought care for sports related eye injuries, and 26 (53%) of those were related to floorball. The number of patients who agreed to take part in the study was 38, of which 25 had injuries related to floorball. Among the floorball players, there were two patients where the injury caused permanent vision impairment. None of the floorball players wore eye protection at the time of injury. According to this study, protective eyewear should be recommended when playing floorball, regardless of age or setting.
