Prevention

• Eye protection is the best prevention. Many eye injuries, especially high-speed impacts that may rupture the globe (eyeball), are usually devastating to your eye and could result in vision loss.

• Always wear eye protection when working in an environment where flying debris is likely.

• Eye protection should cover not only the front but also the side of your eyes. Regular sunglasses or corrective glasses are not sufficient eye protection when working in a high-risk environment. You should wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
