Our Eye And Diwali Crackers
Every Diwali in Bangalore alone, hundreds of people injure their eyes and a few even have total loss of vision. Last year Narayana Nethralaya had treated over 50 cases of eye injuries during the diwali period. More than half of those injured were below the age of 14 years and boys seem to be more prone than girls. The majority of the injured were innocent bystanders hit by a cracker while walking or riding. Most of the cases could have easily been prevented if caution were not thrown to the winds.
This Diwali let us all take certain steps, so that we can enjoy the festival of lights without burning our fingers and eyes.
Selection:
- Better to avoid heavy crackers like rockets, bombs etc.
- Never buy unbranded crackers.
Storage:
- Not to store in places like kitchen and pooja rooms.
- Keep them out of reach of children.
