June is Fireworks Eye Safety and Cataract Awareness Month
Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on consumer fireworks, which cause more than 9,000 injuries a year. Remember, fireworks are not toys but incendiary devices that can cause devastating eye injuries.
Cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. If not treated, cataracts can lead to blindness. In addition, the longer cataracts are left untreated, the more difficult it can be to successfully remove the cataract and restore vision. Early detection and treatment of cataracts is critical to preserving sight.
