Eyeware

Your eyes are one of the most delicate and vulnerable parts of your body. It's impossible to be too careful with them. Protecting your eyes can involve lots of different things: having eyewash, making sure that there are emergency eyewash stations in your workplace, or even never going outside or near anything that could potentially hurt your eyes (alright, this one's impossible). The first, and easiest, line of defense though, especially if you work in a place involving chemicals or machinery, is eyeware. Eyeware is important even if you're just doing some work around the house-building that new table for your wife, or fixing the roof.

Eyes. Poets say that they're the windows to the soul. They communicate, they reveal (in other words: don't lie to your wife unless you're wearing sunglasses), they display love or hate, sadness or joy. All this, and we see with them, too. It's easy to forget our eyes, just like it's easy to forget that we're breathing. But when you get the wind knocked out of you during the Thanksgiving football game, or maybe you get an asthma attack, breathing is your top priority.

Your eyes are the same way. There are lots of problems that can happen with your eyes that we don't think of until they hit us. We've all imagined ourselves in glasses, have experienced itching eyes, and dry eyes. But what if a serious accident occurred in your workplace, the restaurant where you're having lunch with your friends, or even your kids' school? The most dangerous eye problems are the ones that we never think about. They can be the result of an explosion that sends glass into your eye. Or you could accidentally get chemicals in your eyes. No matter the injury, the eyes' only natural defenses are tears and eyelids, and those just aren't going to be enough, so you need eyeware.
