EyeseminarFree Vision Seminar Offers Information for Patients

Protect Your Eyes from Injury

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than one million people in the U.S. injure their eyes each year.  The effects can be devastating, from blurred vision to blindness.  Fortunately, about 90 percent of these injuries are preventable if individuals wear protective eyewear.
 
Eye injuries can be caused by many things. Many injuries occur in and outside the home from everyday exposure to dust, chemicals, and even common household items such as rubber bands, paper clips, and pencils. Traumatic injuries to the eye are often caused by flying objects, such as rocks thrown up by a lawnmower, debris from power tools, and breaking glass.  

Sports-related eye injuries frequently occur in children.  Contact sports and those athletic activities involving flying objects, such as baseball, pose particularly high risk of eye injury.
 
When injuries to the eye occur, the victim should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist or other medical provider promptly. The eye should not be rubbed or touched.  
 
To make an appointment with a UT Medical Group ophthalmologist in Memphis or Germantown, call 901-448-6650.
