Cornea

• Wear safety goggles at all times when using hand or power tools or chemicals, during high impact sports, or in other situations where there is a potential for eye injury.
• Wear sunglasses designed to screen ultraviolet light when you are exposed to sunlight, even during the winter.
• Be careful when using household cleaners. Many household products contain strong acids, alkalis, or other chemicals. Drain and oven cleaners are particularly dangerous. They can lead to blindness if not used correctly.
