Did you know that about half of all eye injuries happen at home and most could have been prevented? Only about 3 in 10 people wear protective eyewear during home projects where their eyes may get hurt. Did you also know that if you wear glasses you can still get eye injuries as they can break or shatter, causing even more injury. Wearing protective eyewear can reduce your risk for eye injury by around 90%. Take extra special care of your eyes this #HomeEyeSafetyMonth #Ophthalmology

Taking care of your eyes during home projects may be a thing of common sense; wearing protective eyewear in such situations is key. But there are much more risky situations for your eyes beyond drilling, grinding, painting and other home improvements activities. Also, during times, where we want to cook or relax, we should take some extra care of our eyes this #HomeEyeSafetyMonth #Ophthalmology
