Learn how to recognize and care for your safety glasses.

Despite every precaution, eye injuries can occur. First aid—knowing what to do in an emergency before it happens—may save your own or a coworker's eyesight in the event of an accident.

The goal of eye safety is to protect your eyesight. Eye hazards are everywhere. Only you can help protect your eyes and your sight by wearing the correct protective eyewear for the hazards you run into.

Cystoscopy is a procedure that lets your healthcare provider look directly inside your urethra and bladder.

You have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain. Some AVMs never burst (rupture). But some things can lead to a rupture. If you have an AVM, you were likely born with it. But most people don't know they have one until a problem develops.

It's important to get medical attention for an AVM as soon as possible. Often, immediate treatment may help prevent serious complications of some AVMs. Current surgical methods make treatment for AVM safer and more effective than ever. The goal of treatment is to stop the flow of blood within the AVM and to prevent it from re-bleeding.

Here you will find out how to prepare for AVM surgery, what to expect the day of surgery, and the risks of surgery.

After AVM surgery is done, the surgeon will talk with your loved ones. You'll wake up in a recovery area. Then you'll be moved to a special unit, often an ICU (intensive care unit), where you can be closely watched.

Many tasks can cause respiratory hazards. The length of time you're exposed, how often you're exposed, and the concentration of the hazard all add to your risk of having health problems.
