3. Wear Protective Eyewear

You wouldn't believe how many people end up with eye injuries that could have been prevented. According to Prevent Blindness America, about 125,000 eye injuries occur in the home every year. More than 40,000 sports-related eye injuries occur yearly as well, and the Department of Labor's (DOL) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports 1,000 eye injuries that happen in the workplace. Whether you're at work or at home or engaging in leisure activities, make sure you always have protective eyewear on, to prevent injury from chemicals, potentially hazardous materials (wood or metal) and sharp objects.
