Exposure of the human eye to wind

We report an investigation of the exposure of the human eye to wind. The study was carried out at wind speeds of 40, 80, and 160 km/h. The pressure and forces acting on the eye were examined using the ANSYS CFX software package. The results highlight the necessity of using glasses, contact lens, or protective equipment when, for example, riding a motorcycle, skiing, parachuting, and paragliding.
