When you use eye drops, follow the label's directions.

Prevention

Wear safety glasses when your eyes are exposed to sawdust, etc. Wear sunglasses that block UV rays.

When using harsh chemicals, wear rubber gloves and protective glasses. Don't rub your eyes if you've touched harsh chemicals. Turn your head away from chemical vapors.

To help prevent dry eyes, use a humidifier. Limit exposure to smoke, dust, and wind. Don't drink alcohol.

Use artificial tear drops with your doctor's okay.

Don't stare directly at the sun, especially during a solar eclipse.

Don't use eye makeup when an allergy or chemical irritant bothers your eye(s).

Don't allow a child to stick his or her head out of the window of a moving car, etc. Sand, insects, and other flying objects can strike the eye and irritate or damage the cornea.

Don't let children play with or near sparklers, bottle rockets, and other fireworks.
