Safety Glasses: The Importance of Safeguarding Your Vision
Vision loss and severe eye injuries occur all too often in today’s workplaces. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each day, about 2,000 U.S. workers sustain a job-related eye injury that requires medical treatment. Due to the severity and frequency of these injuries, there is no room for shortcuts or excuses when it comes to protecting your eyes on the job. There are many ways to protect yourself from an eye injury, but safety glasses are the most common and arguably the simplest safeguard for protecting your eyes from injury.
