Believe it or not, the average home is full of dangers that often go unnoticed. In fact, accidents involving common household products cause 125,000 eye injuries each year. You can reduce the risks of eye injuries for yourself and other family members by using this simple checklist for different areas of your home:
- Store personal-use items (cosmetics, toiletry products), kitchen utensils, and desk supplies where they are out of reach for children.
- Provide lights and handrails to improve safety on stairs.
- Be aware of items in playgrounds and play areas that pose potential eye hazards.
