When should I wear Eye Safety? The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blindquotes that "90% of eye injuries are preventable. You only get one pair of eyes, so it's important to choose the right protection." They recommend to avoid unnecessary injury to the eyes, always wear safety glasses or goggles in the following situations:
Mowing the lawns
Chopping wood
Pruning trees
Using a hammer
Using power tools
Working with chemicals, even household or garden ones
Lighting fireworks
Changing a car battery
Playing ball sports such as cricket, golf or squash
