Eye Injury

Dr. Airsoft performs an eye procedure in his medical office.

Airsoft Medicine wants to protect airsoft players from unnecessary injury, and in the process protect the reputation of the airsoft sport. Airsoft-related medical issues include eye protection, face and mouth protection, laser use, heat-related illness, conditioning, and the unique problems sometimes realized when young children find parts of their bodies that airsoft bb’s will fit in.
