April: Time to be Eye Safe & Eye Smart!

April is here and spring is in the air. This month we observe Sports Eye Safety Month and Women's Eye Health Month.

 

Sports Eye Safety Month is a time to raise awareness on how children and adults can have their eye health protected during recreational activities.  Over 40,000 athletes suffer a preventable eye injury each year!  Wearing protective eyewear is the key to prevention!

 

And did you know, women are more likely to lose their vision to eye disease them men? 2/3 ofall blindness and visual impairment occurs in women!  In April we’ll also help raise awareness of eye topics related to women in observance of Women’s Eye Health Month.

 

So check back often and get educated!
