As you’re choosing toys and gifts this season, remember to keep eye safety in mind. December is Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month, a reminder from Prevent Blindness that the best gifts support healthy play and protect healthy vision. When picking out presents, especially for infants and children under three, choose toys that match the child’s developmental stage and abilities to help prevent eye injuries and keep little eyes safe all year long.
