December is Safe Toys and Celebrations Month

Child Playing With Toy Cars

Roughly 1 in 10 children’s eye injuries that end up in the ER are caused by toys. In support of Safe Toys and Celebrations Month this December, we join the American Academy of Ophthalmology in advising parents to be cautious when choosing holiday gifts for young people and recommends avoiding those that launch projectiles, such as crossbows and BB guns.

And please be careful as you celebrate this month.

Have a great – and safe – holiday season.
