Prioritize eye safety when buying toys for
children, experts urge

• AS the holiday season gets into full swing, the
  American Academy of Ophthalmology are urging
  people to avoid giving children toys that can
  cause eye injuries, following research published
  earlier this year showing a rise in children's
  eye injuries from toy guns.

3

• In 2014, emergency departments across the US
  treated over 250,000 children under the age of 12
  for toy-related injuries.
• Research conducted by Stanford University School
  of Medicine, CA, published earlier this year
  shows that the rate of children's eye injuries
  from non-powder guns rose by 511 between
  2010-12, when 3,000 children received treatment
  for eye injuries from paintball guns, airsoft
  guns, BB guns and pellet guns.

• The most common eye injuries that result from
  playing with these toys are corneal abrasions, or
  scratches on the surface of the eye, and hyphema,
  where blood pools in the front of the eye.

5

• Sometimes the injury can be more severe and cause
  blindness - for instance, due to rupture of the
  eyeball or detachment of the retina.
• The experts warn, however, that other projectile
  or flying toys can also harm children's eyes.
  These include slingshots, dart guns and even the
  increasingly popular drone, which is often
  treated as a toy.
