Request for Eye Injury Images for Educational Module
Dear OOS Member,
We are excited to share that Superspecs, the OOS program that provides eye safety equipment and education to children across Ohio, is developing an online, module-based educational program focused on eye safety in the trades for students in career and technical education (CTE) programs across Ohio.
As part of this important initiative, we are seeking real images of work-related eye injuries to include in the modules. These could stem from any trade or industry, including construction, landscaping, electrical work, use of chemicals, or other environments where eye injuries are a risk.
We are asking for:
- A graphic image of the injury (the more impactful, the better),
- A brief description of how the injury occurred, and
- The outcome or consequence for the patient.
- Please don’t send any patient identifier information - just the image and context.
*We realize you might have internal practice policy to obtain consent from the patient to share images.
We kindly ask that you send any materials to laura@superspecs.org by Monday, July 7th.
CTE instructors have told us that graphic visuals are the most powerful tool in changing behavior among high school students. Your contribution could have a real impact in preventing future eye injuries among young people entering the workforce.
Thank you for supporting this vital effort in protecting vision and promoting eye safety education. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Todd Baker
OOS Executive Director
