Small jobs around the house can change your life when you forget to wear eye protection. Nails, sawdust, wood chips, rocks, and grass become missles when lanched from hammers, drills, saws, chain saws, string trimmers and lawn mowers. Don't forget paints, solvents, and spray aersols can injure your eyes quickly. Also, jump starting a dead car battery not only puts your eyes a risk, but your face as well. Remenber that eye protection is available at the local building supplier or hardware store.
Eye diseases are silent enemies of the eye.
Sometimes when you have symptoms, it's often to late to help. Hearing loss touches almost all families, especially in the senior years. Hearing loss is an accumulative disease. Remember, use hearing protection when you are mowing the lawn, running the string trimer, and using that chainsaw.
