Jump-Starting Your Car
Many people suffer severe eye injuries every year because they do not take proper precautions while jump-starting their car. A spark caused by hooking up the jumper cables can ignite fumes and cause the battery to explode. Battery acid and flying battery parts can blind you.
Here are few simple precautions to avoid a serious injury:
- Wear protective goggles during all phases of the procedure. Keep a pair attached to your jumper cables.
- Put out cigarettes before opening the hood. Use a flashlight, not a match, to look under the hood at night.
- Be certain the vehicles are not in contact with each other.
- Do not allow the cable clamps to touch each other.
- Attach the positive ( + ) cable (red) to the positive terminal of the dead battery first. Then attach the other end of the positive cable to the good battery.
- Attach the negative ( - ) cable (black) to the negative terminal of the good battery. Then attach the other end of the negative cable to the engine block away from the negative terminal. Do not attach a cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery.
- Once the engine is started, carefully remove the cables in reverse order, again not allowing the clamps to touch.
- Do not lean over the battery during the jumping process.
If an injury does occur, contact your ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room immediately.

Are you a candidate for LASIK eye surgery? Take our test and hear from our consultants.
An independent review of last year's results at the Boston Eye Group shows that 92%-96% of our patients were able to see 20/25 or better. 100% of patients were able to see 20/40 or better. This will usually enable you to pass a driver's license eye examination without glasses or contact lenses. Most patients are able to perform their daily activities and enjoy many sports with minimal, if any, reliance on glasses.
