Did you know: According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, about half of all eye injuries happen at home. This Home Eye Safety Awareness Month, join us in sharing these precautions.

•Wear American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-approved protective eyewear when using power tools.
•Use a grease shield or splash guard when cooking, and avoid leaning over items that produce steam. Steam can burn the cornea.
•Do not mix cleaning agents.
