Fireworks and Eye Safety Tips | Keep Your Eyes Protected 07/02/2024

We love celebrating here at Dr. Tavel, but it’s important to consider eye protection when dealing with fireworks. Most fireworks-related injuries occur during July, and the most recent Consumer Product Safety Commission report found that 19% of fireworks injuries were eye injuries.
Keep your eyes safe this summer and enjoy holiday traditions with these important safety tips:

💥 Always have an adult supervise children. Sparklers can burn up to 1800°F!

💥 Don’t shoot fireworks out of a glass or metal container.

💥 Never point or throw fireworks at another person!

💥 Keep everyone at a safe distance of at least 500 feet when setting off fireworks.

💥 Firework didn’t ignite the first time? Soak it in water and discard it. Eye trauma and other injuries can occur when people mistake a firework for a “dud”.

💥Protect your eyes and wear safety glasses when setting off fireworks.

Do you wear contact lenses? 👀 Follow these three tips to avoid eye infections:

👁️ Always clean your hands prior to touching your lenses.

👁️ Adhere to the guidelines provided for your specific type of contact lenses. Take note: Daily lenses are not meant for multiple uses.

👁️ Mixing contact lenses with water is a big no-no. Activities like swimming or showering can expose your eyes to harmful bacteria, potentially leading to painful eye infections.

Seeing is learning! 👀
Did you know that 80% of learning occurs through the eyes? If any visual skills are impaired, it makes it harder for children to learn. The American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam as early as six months, again at age 3, and regularly throughout childhood. Celebrate Children's Vision Awareness Month by booking your child's next eye exam online at drtavel.com.

Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in the United States and affect over 90% of Americans. Most cataracts develop slowly over the years and the main symptom is blurry vision.

Making healthy lifestyle choices can lessen the likelihood of cataracts, but there is no way to prevent cataracts completely. Luckily, early signs of cataracts can be detected through an eye exam. Learn more about cataracts on our blog: https://ow.ly/wowm50S21Jw

Did you know that your eyes need sun protection too? 😎

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and we're highlighting the importance of quality sunglasses. Although it's rare, ocular (or eye) melanoma is the most common type of eye cancer in adults. Regular eye exams are the best way to catch ocular melanoma early.

OSHA estimates that only 34% of building construction workers wear safety glasses. Additionally, over 1,000 eye injuries occur daily. Eye doctors and safety experts believe the right eye protection can lessen the severity or even prevent 90% of these eye injuries.

The type of safety eye protection you should wear depends on the hazards in your workplace. Talk with your eye doctor and employer about your eyewear options to keep your eyes safe.
