Recent studies show that approximately 2.4 million eye injuries occur in the United States each year- and almost half of these injuries occur at home! Even the simplest, most common household chores may create a hazardous environment for your eyes. Injuries can result from: (1) projectiles thrown from lawn mowers, (2) power tools and hand tools, (3) cutting and soldering equipment, (4) chemical cleansers (i.e. bleach) and garden herbicides. Furthermore, research has also shown that more and more people do their own home improvement these days (i.e. remodeling, home construction or maintenance). As a result, the "do-it-yourself" industry has grown tremendously in the last few years-giving even more reason for eye care professionals to be concerned about educating the public about home safety eyewear. At Rochester Optical, we can provide you with home safety eyewear that can protect you from permanent eye injury. Think of it this way: people often invest in special clothing (or footwear) necessary for certain activities-shouldn't you consider a pair of specialized eyewear to protect your eyes?
