Most herbicides can cause eye irritation.
Iowa State University Extension recommends protective eye covering be used whenever handling, mixing, or applying herbicides. Protective clothing, such as boots, gloves, and a respirator, should be used. Though herbicides are safe when used in accordance with the label, these precautions should be taken to avoid exposure. It is important to use the same precautions for all herbicide products to ensure that mixers, loaders, and applicators are protected when handling toxic products. These common herbicides require eye protection.
