Safety First

That's good to hear you got it rinsed well.  I've never really gotten much more than small dust particles/dirt in my eyes, but I have been blasted with gasoline in my mouth.  Talk about a bad tasting experience.

You havent gotten out of that gas siphoning business yet Mark?   

I have gotten a piece of metal in, but I didnt feel it grinding around till 2 AM.   

But that wasnt the worst.  Last year we got some extremely fine/dusty fertilizer in bulk.  I needed to get a 5 gallon pail full, so I went out there and tipped it over, and brushed some in by hand.  Smart me, I tipped the pail back upright while looking with my face a foot above it to see if it was full.  Bad idea.  A big whoosh of air and dust/dirt directly into my face.  That was probably the worst, man it hurt bad.  I couldnt close my eyes, it was like pure sandpaper.

goggles sure look a lot more goofy than safety glasses, until your running around aimlessly because you got a tiny spec of rust from the side that the glasses didn't stop   Had that happen twice...once was bad, the other I got it out with some water persuasion.

The problem I have with goggles is that, to put it bluntly, I sweat like a pig, and no matter how well vented they are the goggles start to fog up. I need to make a pair with a little battery-powered fan in them

I was doing bodywor on a car and spreading Marglass,a type of fiberglass reinforced body filler, on to the underside of a trunk and had a blob fall off right in my eye.Not only is it a bad chemical to get in your eye but with a lot of hardener in it it gets hot also.need less to say I ran to the sink to wash it out.Worst part is it was my good eye and my bad eye is only 20/200-I have little depth perception normally but with only my bad eye I was lucky to even find the sink!

I have the exact same problems.  I have to where safety glasses that are kinda opened up. 

Hope you eye is doing ok!

Thanks Phil. I made sure the eye was throoughly irrigated (to use the term they use in assembly plant safety  ). My eyes are too important to me anyway, and as a photographer they're doubly important.
