If you cannot take the victim to the hospital, call the emergency medical services number or 911. “Parents, coaches and role models should set good examples for children by wearing protective eyewear when using power tools, playing sports or working in an area with flying debris,” said Dr. Wilcox. “They also should enforce the use of protective eyewear in children.” For more information on emergency Cpl.
