Why is it important to wear goggles in lacrosse?

Answer 1

As Lacrosse is a very fast paced game and the ball can travel at very high speeds when propelled by the stick to player or at the goal, it is a safety measure so that players who take part in the game do not injure their eyes as that part of the face is very delicate and can get permanently damaged if not protected and the ball was to hit the eyes at speed.
