National Window Safety Week
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology more than one
million people suffer from eye injuries each year in the United
States. Ninety percent of these injuries could have been
prevented if the individual had been wearing appropriate
eyewear. Prevention is the first and most important step
in protecting your eyes from injuries, so be sure to protect
your eyes with appropriate eyewear. If you do experience an eye
injury, seek medical attention promptly.
Not only can windows be dangerous for children, they may also save a
child's life. In the event of a fire the window may be their only
exit out. This is why it is very important to develop a family
emergency escape plan and practice it regularly with all members of
the family. Teach children to safely use a window under these
circumstances and when not to use it. Develop a family
