๐ Protect Your Eyes This 4th of July! ๐๐บ๐ธ
While youโre enjoying the fireworks, BBQs, and all things red, white, and blue, donโt forget to protect your eyes โ you only get one pair!
Here are some quick eye safety tips to keep the celebration safe and fun for everyone:
๐ฅ Leave the fireworks to the pros. Consumer fireworks cause thousands of eye injuries every year โ even sparklers burn at over 1,000ยฐF!
๐ถ๏ธ Wear protective eyewear. If youโre around fireworks or doing any grilling, lawn work, or DIY projects this weekend, throw on some safety glasses. Your future self will thank you.
๐ Watch your kids. Keep little ones at a safe distance from fireworks, and never let them handle sparklers unsupervised.
๐ถ Keep pets indoors. Fireworks can frighten them and cause unpredictable behavior that may lead to injuries (for both them and you).
๐ In case of an eye injury, skip the home remedies and head to the ER or your eye doctor immediately.
Celebrate smart and safe โ your vision depends on it!
Happy Independence Day! โค๏ธ๐ค๐
