The crisp air and vibrant colors of fall mean more time spent outdoors. As you get ready for yard work, team sports, or weekend adventures, don’t forget to protect your eyes. At Southwest Eye Care, we know that many seasonal eye injuries are preventable with a few simple precautions.

Here’s how to keep your eyes safe this fall:

Wear Protective Eyewear for Yard Work: Raking leaves or trimming branches can send dust, twigs, and other debris flying. Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against painful eye injuries.
Use Proper Sports Goggles: Whether you’re playing football, soccer, or another fall sport, the risk of impact is high. Standard eyeglasses are not enough; wear sports-specific protective eyewear that meets safety standards.
Don’t Forget UV Protection: The sun’s UV rays are a year-round threat. Even on cloudy days, UV exposure can damage your eyes. Always wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection when you are outdoors.

Enjoy the season’s activities safely. A quick eye exam can ensure your vision is in top condition for all your fall adventures. Book your appointment today with Southwest Eye Care!
