Eye Injury Prevention Month, observed throughout October, is a dedicated campaign aimed at raising awareness about the importance of eye safety and preventing eye injuries both at home and in the workplace. The month-long initiative focuses on educating the public about the common causes of eye injuries and how they can be avoided through proper precautions, protective eyewear, and safe practices. Eye Injury Prevention Month encourages everyone, from industrial workers to DIY enthusiasts, to take steps to protect their vision and prevent avoidable injuries.

Eye injuries can result from a variety of causes, including accidents involving chemicals, sharp objects, or exposure to harmful UV light. Many of these injuries are preventable with the right safety measures. The campaign highlights the importance of wearing protective eyewear, such as safety goggles, during high-risk activities, as well as educating individuals on proper eye care practices.
