Halloween Safety Tips from Mountain View Optometry’s Eye Doctors
October 31, 2010
To be safe, you need to be seen on Halloween night. Our eye doctors have determined from studies that a child’s risk of injury from being struck by a car doubles on October 31 due to poor visibility and dark conditions.
Here are some simple precautions to ensure your kid’s Halloween is as safe as it is fun:
- Dress your kids in light-colored costumes or adhere reflective tape to the costume’s fabric and accessories. Make sure children and adults are visible to passing cars.
- Eliminate masks from among the costume’s accessories. Masks can get in the way of clear vision and can increase the chances of tripping or running into objects.
- Hypoallergenic make-up is a safer alternative. Take care in keeping make-up away from the eyes.
- No trick-or-treater should go in search of treats alone. Children move through darkened neighborhoods more safely if accompanied by an adult.
- Pedestrians think they are more visible to drivers than they actually are, so remind trick-or-treaters to look both ways before crossing streets and to stay with the group.
Happy Trick or Treating!
