Eye Injury Risks

Eye injuries can occur at work, home, or play, so it is critical that we consider vision hazards and take steps to protect ourselves, our families, and our coworkers against those risks.

Eye Protection Gear at Work

OSHA mandates the use of appropriate safety practices and devices in the workplace. Whether you are exposed to eye health risks at work or manage those who are, we must take all appropriate steps to protect workers. Personnel should have access to protective eyewear that meets the appropriate standards and it is best to offer options due to individual differences in fit and comfort.

Eye Protection at Home

It is also useful to have protective eyewear at home. Whether mowing the lawn, using power tools, or applying hazardous chemicals, using common sense and the appropriate protective gear can be vital and adults should set good examples for their children.

Eye Injury Prevention in Sports

Sports vary in their risk for eye injury, but you can minimize eye injury risk by wearing the appropriate protective eyewear for each sport. Whether you need safety goggles, a face mask on a helmet, or swimming goggles, impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses may help keep you safe. Prescription goggles or shields worn over eyeglasses or contact lenses may also be appropriate if you need vision correction.
