Safety Glasses

[Bentiron1946]

I usually wear tee shirts so that when I pull the shirt over my head what ever dirt and chips that are trapped in my shirt are going right past my eyes. At the suggestions of my eye doctor the last time I was having a foreign object removed from my eye he had me take my shirt off before he started the procedure and not to wear anything that had to be pulled over my head when grinding in the future. So now I wear button up shirts when grinding, wear a cap on my head and bandanna over my beard. I use a full face shield with safety glasses and hear protection as I'm already half deaf.

I posted this to another thread but it's worth repeating.

Crud gets caught in your hair, eyebrows, eyelashes as well as the head band of your face shield, on top of your safety glasses, "T" shirt and anything else that'll get near your eyes.

When doing things that put a lot of crud in the air I close my eyes before taking my gear off, then ruffle my hair, brush my eyebrows and eyelashes before opening them again. This goes for pulling my "T" off too. There have been times I've worn it all into the shower before removing it so I could wash the chips out before opening my eyes.

I haven't had a major eye pickin incident since. (sound of me furiously knocking on wood!)

Never, NEVER use an air hose to clean off with. If you didn't like it on you you most certainly will NOT like it IN you!

I too have a problem with sweat running in my eyes from my safety glasses. The only thing that seems to help is a soft cap that I can pull to the top pf my eye brows. I have recently had to start using prescription glasses and have had my safety glasses made prescription. My optomitriest told me about some glasses frames that are made for bicycle riding that had an absorbent pad that is removable. I have not tried them, but several people I know seem to like them.
