HOUSEHOLD ERRORS

Prevent eye accidents

THOUSANDS of people suffer eye injuries in home
accidents every year, says the Canadian Optometric
Association.

Many household cleaning chores, workshop tasks
and yard work expose the eyes to caustic chemicals
and e'} types of flying particles. Culprits include
household cleaning agents, power tools, fertilizers,
weed killers and power yard equipment.

Some people are unaware of the many eye hazards
around the home, the association says, Without a
thought, they expose their eyes to sawdust, flying
chips of wood, stone, nails or bolts, ceiling tile
staples, protruding wire, chemicals, both dry and liq-
. uid, branches of trees and shrubs, and even welding
spatter.

Others take an “it can't happen to me” attitude.

HOME IS where the heart is —
and hearts are among Canada’s
most favored decorating motifs.

With nostalgia in, and
everybody looking back to the past
for design inspiration, heart shapes
are turning up as baskets, trays
and pillows.

Delicate heart motifs are being
seattered over linen, in red, pink or
white on white.

For walls, there are heart pla-
ques and grapevine wreaths, and
towel hooks in rustic wrought iron
with heart-shaped finials. Rt

Sull others think their regular prescription glasses or
contact lenses will protect them, That's not so, op-
tometrists say,

Eyeglasses prescribed today are, by federal regula-
tion, impact resistant but they are not safety glasses.

Contact lenses are made for seeing, nol protection.

The solution to home eye accidents is simple, inex-
pensive and as close as the nearest hardware, depart-
ment or hobby store.

That is where consumers can find plastic safety
goggles, including types that fit over ylasses, face
shields and sometimes even welding goggles and
shields.

Persons who wear prescription glasses can vither
buy safety goggles to wear over them or ask their op-
tometrist for industrial-strength safety lenses.

And, hearts are the focus of
sophisticated graphics in a rainbow
of colors.

Truly, for the '80s, if decorating
is your passion, you've got to have
heart.
