🧨 Fireworks Safety Tips for Your Eyes:

✅ Always keep a safe distance - at least 500 feet from professional displays
✅ Never handle fireworks yourself - leave it to the professionals
✅ Wear protective eyewear if you're near consumer fireworks
✅ Keep children and pets away from all types of fireworks, including sparklers
✅ Know the nearest emergency room in case of an injury

If a fireworks injury occurs, do NOT rub the eye, do NOT rinse with water, and seek emergency medical care immediately. 🚨
