 Eyes and hands are the most impacted by fireworks accidents. Integris Burn Center Dr. Christopher Lentz says the injuries can have long-lasting impact. Have a firework that blasts in your face and ends up disturbing your eye to the point that you may lose vision or have some problems with your vision later. Lentz says 25%, one in four of all firework injuries, occur to innocent bystanders. If you suffer a burn, cool it with water, clean it and cover it, and call your doctor if it's bigger than your hand.
