Keeping Your Vision Safe During The Holidays

The holidays are a time when we all look forward to relaxing, attending parties, and spending time with the people we love. It should be a time of joy and celebration so don’t let a preventable eye injury ruin your time with your family and friends. Parents should be especially alert for potential holiday eye hazards to children.  

A few helpful tips may help keep your holiday cheerful and your family safe.

·         Do not use ornaments that are breakable.

·         Spray snow is very dangerous for the eyes.

·         Everyone should wear goggles to protect their eyes while engaging in activities.

·         Be careful of open flames, specifically fireplaces, which can cause burns to both children and adults.

·         Take your time and plan for rest breaks every couple of hours.

Whatever you do this holiday season make it joyous and relaxing but don’t let the celebration get in the way of your safety. You can read the original article by Dr. Ted Watson, The Digital Doc published on doctorsvisioncenter.
