New Year? New Project?Personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, are important in keeping your vision safe when in an industrial workplace. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that 70% of eye injuries studied resulted from flying or falling objects or sparks striking the eye. Injured workers said that 3/5 of the objects were smaller than a
pinhead. Safety glasses should not only be comfortable but also have impact resistance features, comply with ANSI Z87.1, and provide protection from UV rays. According to OSHA, 90% of eye injuries can be prevented through the use of proper protective eyewear. Let Cornelius Vision Clinic be a part of keeping your vision safe and ask about safety glasses today. |

Have an infant? Bring your baby in for an eye exam
Even if no eye or vision problems are apparent, the American Optometric Association recommends scheduling your baby's first eye assessment at 6 months. InfantSEE®, a public health program, managed by Optometry Cares® - the AOA Foundation, is designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an essential part of infant wellness care to improve a child's quality of life. Under this program, participating optometrists provide a comprehensive infant eye assessment between 6 and 12 months of age as a no-cost public service.
