Protect Those Eyes - Bv Kaleigh w Bynum O.D..F A A.O _lf_^you wear prescription laises. they are probably nade with plastic or heat reated safety lenses. It is the onviction of the National So :iety for the Prevention of blindness that eye safety ihould not be optional for hose who wear glasses. This conviction could be jpheld by NSPB's newspaper dipping files alone, where week after week reports from across the country document accidents that would have jeen minor...but turn into tragedies when eyeglasses are broken and silvers of glass penetrate the eye. Ironically, such accidents are almost always referred to as “freak'' happenings Further corroboration of the incidence of such eye injuries has come from surveys of ophthalmologists, reports from armed forces medical officers, and other.- sources who share the Society's con cern about the problem. For example, the Massachusetts Society surveyed their 261 state ophthalmologists, and received 152 responses. Of those who responded. 52 had seen eye injuries which resulted from shattered lens es, for a total of 142 cases, within the past two years. Fully one-half of those cases resulted in temporary disabi lity for the patients; 22.5 per cent received a permanent vision impairment. The efforts of the National “ _ >1 Dr. Raleigh N. Bynum . Society, along with other con cerned organizations and in dividuals. have been long and uphill, in attempting to secure shatter-resistant eyeglass and sunglass lenses, and flame resistant frames for every American wearing glasses. About 100,000,000 Americans wear spectacles all the time or for specific purposes such as reading. Although eye safety in in dustry and educational insti tutions has produced com mendable results in economic as well as human terms, or dinary lenses and flammable frames still represent a need less hazard for both children and adults. If eye safety is routinely provided for the ge neral public, as well as for workers and technical stu dents, the National Society's premise that half of all blind ness is preventable will come closertorealizationi^^____ lou^an^d^r^wignej^o^ou!
