T Children can get eye injuries from everyday play or exposure to harmful objects. But parents can take steps to help prevent these injuries.

The University of Michigan Health System suggests:

• Never let children throw things at each other.
• Establish a rule about never running while holding an object that is sharp, long or pointed.
• Store all cleaning products out of a child’s reach.
• Store clothes hangers in the closet.
• Set a good example by wearing eye protection whenever needed.
• Schedule regular eye exams for your child.
