We would like to discuss eye injuries and how to treat them in an emergency situation. Remember, first aid is just a treatment given before experienced medical help is available.

Protecting your eyes at home, work, or play and knowing what to do if you have an injury, you could save somebody’s sight or your own. Safety glasses have impact resistant lenses and should be used when you are around flying particles or sparks, chemicals or harsh sprays, trees and shrubs, and fast moving balls such as a racquetball.

Fireworks are commonly used in the summer and too often someone suffers a serious eye injury as a result. If you have any questions about emergency eye care feel free to call our office.
