 Protection--not just for eyes...
Many of the things that we do in our shops have hazards--some of them not immediate---
...for instance-NOISE! generally won't hurt you straight away--but after a few years or so, you're likely to develop the "huhs?"
That's when someone says something that you can't make out and you say, "Huh?"
There are many wonderful things that we like to continue to see, but hearing is a wonderful sense to preserve, too.
I don't LIKE to wear protection!
I LIKE seeing and hearing! I wear my protection, usually in my preferred form--a hard hat with flip up visor and ear muffs. I think that the setup cost about $80, but boy is it convenient. Not necessary to roll up those ear plugs and get your ears all grubby with your dirty hands, no need to hunt for your glasses. Put the hard hat on, when you need the shield and muffs flip them down...
