September is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month

Of the estimated 42,000 sports-related eye injuries each year, 43% of
them happen to children under 15 years of age. Eye injuries are one of
the leading causes of vision loss in children. Protect your child's eyes
from sports-related injuries by making sure he or she wears appropriate
protective eyewear when playing sports. Also, make sure toys and games
are appropriate for your child's age and maturity level. A child’s
eyes can be severely injured by toys with sharp, protruding, or
projectile parts.

One of the best ways to ensure your child keeps his or her good vision
throughout life is to set a good health example. Set a good example by
always wearing protective eyewear when playing sports, working in the
yard, using harsh chemicals or working on the car.
