Default Re: Do YOU wear your safety glasses??

Well, I can actually say I have had solder in my eye! And with the flux to go with it!
Back in my aprenticeship days when I did not know any better and safety was not the priority it is today. Was soldering some springs on an electric motor when it let go and landed in and around my right eye. PAIN WAS UNBELIEVABLE! Stumbled to the washrooms and started washing it out. The foreman saw me dive through the corridors and followed me. In the car and off to emergency room for the next 7 hours! Cleaning, washing, scraping (like fingernails on a blackboard!) and lots of scans. ANd one lucky sparky who can still see today, well when I get out the glasses.

SO I AM VERY PRO Safety Glasses whether prescription or not
