to toast the holidays, learn how to do it safely. Make sure corks are covered by a towel and are pointed away from you and others, as well as making sure the champagne is chilled to at least 45 degrees Fahrenheit before opening. Every year, warm bottles of champagne, coupled with bad cork-removal technique are responsible for causing serious, blinding injuries.
By following a few simple safety tips, you can make sure your holidays are festive and injury free.
About the Texas Ophthalmological Association
The TOA is a member organization of over 800 Texas ophthalmologists which was founded in 1956 to promote the science and art of medical eye care. Eye healthcare is provided by three sources -- opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists. It is the ophthalmologist, or Eye M.D., who can treat all eye diseases and injuries, and perform eye surgery. To find an Eye M.D. in your area, visit the TOA's Web site at www.TexasEyes.org.
