FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS AND EYE SAFETY

Don't be blinded by the dangers of fireworks" is the message
of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness (ISPB).

Attending a municipal display fireworks is probably the safest way
to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday. Be aware that injuries can
occur to bystanders. Keep a safe distance, wear safety glasses or safety goggles, obey the officials and local laws --even regarding sparklers/novelties. Have an eye-safe Fourth of July holiday!

The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness was founded
in 1916 to prevent needless blindness. Dedicated to the care, protection and preservation of sight, ISPB programs stress
education, information, eye safety and research.
