What are Common Causes of Eye Injuries in Texas?
Workplace accidents are the leading cause of preventable eye injuries. In fact, more than 700,000 Americans injure their eyes at work each year, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. It has become such an issue that Prevent Blindness designated March as Workplace Eye Health Safety Month in an effort to raise awareness about the numerous preventable injuries that occur in the construction, manufacturing, and electrical power industries to name a few. On the job, preventable eye injuries can be caused by:
- Blunt force trauma from running into objects
- Explosions or chemical spills that cause chemical or thermal burns to the eye
- Penetration or poking of the eye by nails, staples, or wood pieces
- Tiny particles such as dust, cement chips, metal slivers, or wood chips scraping the eye
Other personal injury-related causes of eye injuries that are preventable include:
- Automobile and truck accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Daycare abuse and neglect incidents
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Unmaintained premises accidents such as playground equipment in poor condition with protruding nails or screws
What Medical Issues Can Preventable Eye Injuries Cause?
Eye infections following a preventable eye injury can lead to blindness or vision impairment. Common causes of infections include injury-related complications, poor hygiene, or even exposure to contaminated substances when not wearing protective eyewear.
In the aftermath of severe accidents, the damage may be irreversible. You can use these tips from Prevent Blindness to protect your eyes and reduce the risk of eye injuries.
