Our eyes and vision are precious. We all need to be aware of everyday dangers that exist in our homes. Almost half of all eye injuries occur while doing everyday activities such as cooking, home repairs or gardening. Because preventing eye injuries is much easier than treating them, we should be cautious about potential hazards and protect our vision accordingly. Do you think about eye safety at home? Do you wear protective eyewear as needed? Share your own tips for keeping your eyes and vision safe in and around your home. Share Your Safety Tips

I protect my eyes at home

Yes, I wash my eyes with water after traveling or when dust enters my eyes. I keep my face away while experimenting with chemicals in labs.
