Warning! The following photographs are of a medical
nature and show severe injuries. These images may
be offensive to some people.
All of these injuries could have been avoided if face protection had been
worn. i-MASK offers the safety you need. You can't put a price on your eyesight.

We see these types of letters all too often. It's typical
of many emails from players who escape such traumas with
near misses or lucky escapes. Many have seen players or
friends struck down with racquet or ball 'hospital hits'.
Wearing an i-MASK would have prevented this.
Dear Max and Richard,
Attached are pictures of my eye from the 3rd operation.
Actually the USC medical center filmed the entire 3rd
operation and gave me the DVD - these pictures are
captured from this film. Use these pictures in any way you
would like. Hope I can save one person from this type of
tragedy.
Take care,
Gordon Cavanaugh
