Bellingham (PRWEB) September 16, 2006 -- Visit Vision Plus in Sunset Square, in the days preceding Halloween, and you won’t leave with candy.
This year, Bellingham’s premier one-stop-shop for eyes and eyewear is distributing reflective stickers with the words “Eye See” and “Vision” inscribed on them to patients and their children. The stickers, which can be pasted onto clothing, bikes or trick or treat bags, appears luminous at night, meaning the kids wearing them will be more visible to motorists.
“Halloween can be an incredibly dangerous night for children,” says Vision Plus optometrist, Dr. Mark Aginsky. Statistics show that kids are four times more likely to be involved in a pedestrian-related fatality on Halloween, and because Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, that number may increase, with more people drinking and driving. Kids aged six-to-15 years constitute 10 percent of all pedestrian injuries, which occur most frequently between 3pm and 7pm.
The main reason for such accidents is motorists’ inability to see trick or treaters as they cross the roads in dark clothing. “By wearing reflective stickers, kids’ visibility to drivers increases substantially, and as a result, they are potentially much safer than they would be otherwise,” Aginsky says.
Vision Plus offers these tips to parents of trick or treaters:
•
Paste an Eye See sticker onto your child’s costume and candy bag
•
Ensure that any masks or hats do not obscure your child’s vision
•
Opt for lighter rather than dark costumes to enhance visibility
•
Accompany your child trick or treating
•
Carry a flashlight
•
Stay in well-lit areas
Please call for photographs.
