Planning a New Year’s toast? 🥂

Champagne corks can cause serious eye injuries if they pop unexpectedly. To reduce the risk, chill the bottle before opening, keep it pointed away from faces and bystanders, place a towel over the cork, and twist the bottle slowly to release pressure in a controlled way. If a cork strikes the eye, seek urgent medical care right away. Quick treatment can make a critical difference in protecting vision.

A Champagne cork can fly up to 34 mph — fast enough to shatter glass. If the cork hits an eye, it can cause bleeding, abrasions and even glaucoma.
