Firework Eye Safety
Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on consumer fireworks, which cause more than 9,000 injuries a year. With the Fourth of July holiday just weeks away, Augusta Eye MD would like to remind our patients that fireworks are not toys but incendiary devices that can cause devastating eye injuries and use with caution. Have a safe and happy July Fourth!
June is Cataract Awareness Month
Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. If not treated, cataracts can lead to blindness. In addition, the longer cataracts are left untreated, the more difficult it can be to successfully remove the cataract and restore vision. Read more about signs and symptoms of cataracts in the link below.
