From Dr. Kristin Heeney - Visors for Everyone
Last nights Maple Leafs game, is a reminder that all hockey players, not just minor leaguers, should be required to wear eye protection (visors, sheilds, masks or cages). Darcy Tucker underwent retinal surgery today to repair damage. This is another eye injury this season, hockey players at all levels (minor, junior, recreational and professional) need to wear eye protection.
Your vision, what could be more important?
Dr. Heeney strongly supports Canadian Association of Optometrists in their efforts to make eye protection manadatory for hockey players.
For more information about eye protection solutions for all sports including hockey, football, basketball, skiing, racquet sports, please contact Dr. Heeney to make an appointment to find out what is available for you to protect your eyes and your vision.
