From sun-related eye damage to sports-related eye injuries to sometimes blinding accidents caused by Fourth of July fireworks, summer can be hazardous to eye health.

But to enjoy summer activities safely, you need only observe a few common-sense precautions, such as wearing appropriate safety eyewear to help protect your and your family's precious eyesight.

For great tips on protecting your eyes during the summer months, check out these comprehensive eye safety articles at Allaboutvision.com:

- Eye and workplace safety basics
- Eye doctor answers to reader questions about safety eyewear
- Detailed explanations of types of safety glasses and goggles
- How to prevent eye injuries
- Guide to common eye injuries and emergencies

"The common warning that you'll 'put out an eye' if you're not careful actually can be true, particularly during certain types of work, home and sports activities," AllAboutVision.com editorial director and writer Liz Segre said in one article on eye safety basics. "Unlike other parts of the body that can heal after a serious injury, your unprotected eye - and your vision - may never fully recover from certain wounds."
