Protect Your Eyes during fireworks displays

Each year over the holiday, thousands of adults and children are seriously injured as a result of fireworks and pyrotechnic devices. Many burns and injuries affect eyesight, permanently damaging and in some cases blinding victims. Believe it or not, sparklers are the highest cause of fireworks injuries requiring trips to the emergency room.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 50% of the injuries are suffered by bystanders not people igniting these devices.
