Hyderabad, 7 November 2023: With the much-anticipated festival of Diwali just around the corner, the L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) extends its warmest greetings to one and all. Diwali is that magical time of the year when we come together to celebrate the brilliance of joy, colors, and togetherness. It's a time for happiness and the sparkle of firecrackers, too. However, as we gear up for the festivities, it's equally vital to ensure that our celebrations are not only joyful but also safe.
Dr Anubha Rathi, Consultant Ophthalmologist at the LVPEI’s Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, Hyderabad, believes that "Diwali is a time for celebration, and safety should be an integral part of it. It's crucial to be mindful of the impact of our actions on our health, the people around us, and our surroundings."
To ensure a safe and enjoyable Diwali, the L V Prasad Eye Institute offers a set of dos and don'ts when it comes to lighting firecrackers:
