Halloween is a night full of costumes, candy, and fun—but it’s also a time to think about safety, especially for kids. While glow sticks and flashlights help make little ones more visible in the dark, they also come with some risks for eye health.
Tips to Keep Kids Safe:
Choose safe lighting: Glow sticks are fun but keep them out of young children’s mouths and eyes. If one breaks, wash the area immediately and call your eye doctor.
Use kid-friendly flashlights: A small, lightweight flashlight is safer and easier for kids to carry than bright, heavy versions.
Be mindful of costumes: Avoid sharp or pointed props that could poke near the eye.
Keep your child’s vision healthy year-round!
