Eye Health Awareness

Each month we highlight eye health and safety issues by providing information about eye safety, threats to vision and available community resources. 

SEE MORE WAYS

Every year ophthalmologists treat thousands of patients with eye injuries caused by seemingly safe toys. During Safe Toys and Gifts Month, Friends for Sight encourages parents to be aware of the potential dangers of children’s toys.

Did You Know?

The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) newest report 1 found that approximately 200,000 toy-related injuries were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments. 

  • More than 5 out of every 10 injuries in children younger than age 14 were to the head and face area.
  • 3 out of 4 injuries were in children 14 years of age or younger.
  • 4 out of 10 injuries were in children younger than age 5.
