Early detection through routine, comprehensive eye exams is critical to preserving sight. Our physicians, researchers, and clinical teams remain committed to advancing care, research, and education to protect vision and improve outcomes for our patients.

December is Safe Toys & Gifts Awareness Month
As we move into the holiday season, Yale Ophthalmology is proud to recognize December as Safe Toys & Gifts Awareness Month, an important reminder to prioritize eye safety when selecting gifts for children.

Each year, thousands of eye injuries are caused by toys that are not age-appropriate or lack proper safety features. Our faculty encourage families to choose items that support healthy development while minimizing riskโ€”helping protect vision during a time of celebration and throughout the year.

We appreciate our clinicians, researchers, and community partners who continue to advance safe-vision practices and promote awareness across Connecticut and beyond.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and healthy holiday season. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐ŸŽโ„๏ธ
