We recently took care of a patient on an emergency basis for debris that was embedded on the surface of his eye. The accident happened when his neighbor was weed wacking in an adjoining yard. Unfortunately, a relaxing break on the front porch landed him in our office to remove the debris.
It got me thinking! We always advise our patients to protect themselves with safety eyewear, but what about the other nearby people?. So this month’s message is to remember to keep in mind nearby neighbors, children playing and pets that may inadvertently get in harms way while you are gardening.
"It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves" by Robert Louis Stevenson
