SATURDAY, May 10 (HealthDay News) -- Every year in the United States, about 40,000 people suffer sports-related eye injuries, says the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), which recommends that all athletes wear appropriate, sports-specific eye protection properly fitted by an eye-care professional.

Lenses made from polycarbonate materials offer the highest level of impact protection. These lenses can withstand the force of a ball or other projectile traveling at 90 miles per hour, according to the AAO.

I am wondering what everyone thinks about the newest media attention on a relatively old situation: plastics emitting potentially harmful chemicals.

Are you throwing out your baby bottles, water bottles and other plastics that meet the criteria of being potentially harmful? (From what I've read, the "criteria" includes the hard [non-malleable], see-through plastic containers. I haven't seen any other---credible---sources for what the "criteria" is).
