Protect your eyes even when having fun!

July is "Fireworks Eye Safety" Month

Thousands of accidents each year tell us that fireworks are dangerous. The typical victim is a teenager, at home, unsupervised, with a group of friends. Playing with fireworks, the chances are great that one of them will end up in the emergency room with an injury to the head, eyes or hand. Injuring an eye or losing a finger is a tragic price to pay for a few minutes of fun with fireworks.

As many as 400 Americans lose vision in one or both eyes due to firework injuries. The risk of losing an eye is not worth the excitement of setting off fireworks.

Although illegal fireworks, bottle rockets and roman candles account for the majority of injuries, seemingly harmless sparklers also cause numerous injuries each year. Sparklers account for the most injuries to children under the age of five. Fascinated by the bright sparks, children find these sticks of fire (burning as hot as 1,800 degrees, hot enough to melt gold) irresistible to touch.

Eye health care is provided by the three "O's" -opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists. It is the ophthalmologist, or Eye M.D., who can treat it all; eye diseases, eye injuries and perform eye surgery.
