foreign objects in eyes!

ya i use safety glasses plus a face sheild.

I've been to the eye doctor 3 times in the last year or so. I always wear safety glasses, but still get shit in my eyes. I am very persistent about it too, if I can't find them I will clean up until I find them (I always misplace them, all 3), and I make other people wear them. I have friends that never wear them, and have never had shit in their eyes.

It costs me $75 to get it dug out. Then insurance reimburses $50 for it. The second time I had it done, he actually missed a piece and left it there. I went about a week with mild discomfort before it got really bad. It got to the point where my left eye was constantly watering, and looked like I was crying on one side all the time. He looked it over, and admitted he must have missed something, because it was healing over a very small piece. He gave me some numbing medication, and dug in deep to retrieve that one. Told me it would hurt VERY bad, and prescribed some Vicodin. I needed it, because it did hurt about an hour later, for days.

For glasses, I actually found a really nice set one time I was at the welding store. They have a real nice shape to them, and very thick sides, and conform to your face very well. They were about $20, but I haven';t had any issues. The only thing thats annoying is they are 100% clear and easy to loose.

I use safety glasses and a shield at the bottling plant, I've seen our welder guy grinding and shit with no glasses. Then he tells stories about having metal removed too.. doesn't make much sense to me lol. At least we only use stainless so the rust issue isn't there

i never used glasses or shields before, about a year ago i got a piece of metal in the eye finally. now i know how it feels, so i use them all the time now.

as for safety glasses i buy the ones that are for shooting and seem to be the most comfortable go to a gun shop and try a few pairs if you ever get any metal in your eye always try a good magnet before you go to the dr and if you ever get arc eye cut a potato in half and rub it on your eye

what I did was get some riding glasses for my motorcycle. They are like regular glass, but it has a foam surround that goes all the way around your eye so nothing wind cant get in. They work good and are comfortable as hell.

real safety glasses have z87 on them and the side shields. face shield and glasses work good.
