Caring for Your Athlete’s Vision
Each year, thousands of children suffer sports-related eye
injuries, says the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO)
and the American Optometric Association (AOA). Sports is the
leading cause of school-age children's eye injuries, but most
of those injuries are preventable.
Sports-related injuries in all age groups happen most often in

basketball, racquet sports, and baseball. Other high-risk sports
are hockey, football, lacrosse, boxing, and soccer.
Although eye protection can't prevent every injury, the right

gear is extremely effective. Keep in mind that proper eye
protection varies from sport to sport. According to the AAO and the AOA, 90% of sports-related eye injuries can
be prevented. What if your kids worry that they won't play as well—or look as cool—with eye protection? Tell
them basketball greats Kareem Abdul Jabbar and James Worthy, along with football star Eric Dickerson, wore eye
protection.
Here are ways to protect children’s eyes:

• Have eyes checked before sports participation. If they can’t see, they can’t duck the puck or dodge the ball.
• Pick the right eye guards. Each sport has its own kind, but what’s most important is that the eye guards fit
your child.
• Buy prescription glasses made of polycarbonate plastic.
This can withstand a projectile traveling at 90 mph.
• For contact sports, choose eye guards or glasses with
padding at the nose and brow.
• Choose glasses with strong frames and secure them with
a strap.
• Ask your eye healthcare provider about prescription
sports eye guards.

The free event will take place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Admiral Coontz
Recreational Center in Hannibal.
If you have been a part of Project Community Connect in previous
years, you know the event is not business as usual. The day isn’t about
waiting in lines, signing up to waiting lists or creating false expecta-
tions. It’s a day of immediate access, solutions and hospitality from the
whole community working together.
The event features services such as providing birth certificates and
photo IDs, clothing, haircuts, medical and dental screenings, budget
services, housing/shelter placement, mental health services, career and
education assistance, groceries and more.
During the 2016 event, 3,402 individual services were provided by
46 organizations to 300 people. The event was staffed by 170 volunteers
with the goal of strengthening the community.
A variety of people attended Project Community Connect. Some were
literally homeless; some had experienced domestic or sexual assault;
some were employed but seeking additional assistance; some were in
jeopardy of losing homes; some needed assistance with utilities or rent;
and some had a mental or physical diagnosis.
Anyone needing assistance is welcomed at the event.
Those interested in participating in 2017 Project Community Connect
— as a service provider, volunteer or sponsor — are welcomed, as well.
