Most eye injuries happen in older children. They happen more often in boys than in girls. Toys-from crayons to toy guns-are a major source of injury, so check all toys for sharp or pointed parts. Household items, such as elastic cords, can also strike the eye and cause injury.

-Teach your children about eye safety.
-Be a good role model-always wear proper eye protection.
-Get protective eyewear for your children and help them use it properly.
-Teach children that flying toys should never be pointed at another person.
-Teach children how to carry sharp or pointed objects properly.
-Teach children that any kind of missile, projectile, or BB gun is not a toy.
-Use safety measures near fires and explosives, such as campfires and fireworks.
