Wearing contact lenses can be a major convenience when it comes to your daily activities. You don’t have to worry about glasses becoming lost, damaged or broken while participating in sports, entertainment, and other activities. However, because contact lenses are in direct contact with your eyes, they can introduce contaminants into the eye area that can cause irritation or damage. Here are some tips straight from Dr. Fruchtman to help keep your eyes safe and healthy when using your contact lenses. CLICK TO LEARN MORE.

Diabetes may be a fairly common—and manageable—disease, especially in the United States. But it is also a very serious disease that can result in loss of limb as well as loss of vision. As diabetes is currently on the rise, so also is a side effect of the disease that doesn’t get talked about much: blindness. In fact, diabetic eye disease has become one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in America.

How often do you wear eye protection around your home? If you’re like most Americans, the answer is probably close to never. When considering eye safety at home, you may want to think about adding eye protection to some of your daily tasks.
That’s because nearly half of all eye injuries occur at home while doing most mundane projects. That’s why they’re called accidents. And in fact, only 35% of people say they wear eye protection at home. So, let’s take a few minutes to cover the most common eye-related injuries that occur at home or in the yard. Eye Safety at Home Eye safety at home is as essential as anywhere else. Surprisingly cooking and cleaning around the home cause an average of 125,000 eye injuries every year. Household chemicals and hot cooking oil can splash in your eyes, causing a burn. Additionally, some eye injuries occur while decorating your home. If you are screwing or nailing something into concrete or brick, particles can jump from the surface and enter your eye, causing severe pain. And while some eye injuries can occur from a simple slip or fall, others can happen due to a curling iron being accidentally held too close to your eye or even a champagne cork travelling across the room and hitting someone in the eye.
