Your vision is so important and a terrible thing to lose. We all know of the safety precautions used on the job but have you ever thought of taking those lessons home with you.

Thousands of eye injuries occur each day in America and 90% of those are preventable. Consider your eyes when involved in everyday sports and home activities.

When working in the yard always wear eye protection when mowing, using the string cutter, chipping wood, or cutting tree branches. Thousands of people each year report to a hospital with eye injuries from doing yard work.

Wear protection when involved in sports or other leisure activities such as basketball, baseball, paintball, setting off fireworks, target shooting, or woodworking hobbies always wear eye protection.

Safety eyewear is readily available through many first aid suppliers or any sporting goods outlet. There are lots of stylish models too choose from that may help encourage your children as well to wear them.

Remember, eye safety is as important at home as it is at work.
