According to my optician in the 1980s in the UK squash accounted for more eye injuries than industry, which is quite a scary thought, I entirely agree with Rita, if you injure your eye go and see a doctor,even if it means a trip to casualty.  To put eye injuries in context i am currently studying my module on blood and we are told there are only 2 surgeries when you platelet count must be above 80 brain surgery and eye surgery beacuse in either of them even 1ml of blood can cause irreperable damage so think what a squash ball with the velocity of (so i am told) up to a .22 rifle bullet can do!
