Badminton and Eye Injuries
Badminton has traditionally been considered a safe sport, because it doesn’t involve physical contact. We forget the high speed projectiles in close proximity to the players: the shuttlecocks are potentially lethal missiles for the eye. They are small enough to not be stopped by the bones of the eye socket. Therefore, they can cause significant blunt trauma to the eye. The impact of the racquet on the eye, on the other hand, in a hand that relies on strength and speed for propulsion, can only be imagined.
Gonioscopy
Gonioscopy is one of the special tests for glaucoma. During gonioscopy, your doctor checks the drainage angle of the eye. This is essential to diagnose, classify and manage glaucoma.
