October:  Home Eye Safety Month!
​Most people know to wear safety glasses in a work environment, but how many of us forget to wear them at home? Most of us do home projects, ranging from metalworking to yard work to cleaning the house. For most of these activities, we don’t necessarily think about protecting our eyes. However, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, half of all eye injuries happen at home.

Simple things like household cleaners, bits of dirt or grass, or pieces of metal can cause severe damage to our eyes! However, if we wear protective eyewear, we can reduce that risk by as much 90%!1 Safety glasses can be custom-made to your prescription, so you don’t need to worry about wearing them over your glasses. We carry safety glasses in our office and are more than happy to help you pick out a pair.

If you feel you have something in your eye, give us a call as soon as you can! We will do all we can to get you on our schedule right away.
