it suck ass . I had a tiny piece of metal removed from my eye with some rust around it and a scratched cornia. I have a patch ver my eye and cant stand any lights, just having him use that UV light killed me.

Oh ... just put some bondo and sand it.

Well - OK that was cruel, you need primer and paint over it too.

OK fine - get better.
Cool.

I have a lens implant in my left eye because of a sliver of wood.
Not fun! You take care of that eye. Do what the Doc says so you don't get
a secondary infection.

OK. I'll quit preachin' now.

A guy at work was cleaning some shelves so he can paint them, he was using the shop air to blow all the crap off it, usually when someone walk by your to stop out of courtesy not for me he kept going and as I walked by I felt something hit my eye so I brushed it off but I guess I oushed it in. What an ashole my shop has a major lack or respect with the non-english people. I was close to beating the crap out of this guy I was just tired of his crap.

You better not have to pay for a penny of it, OSHA safety regs say you can not use air hoses to cleanup in a shop.

Made cleaning up the press beds on the 500 ton presses a real drag beacuse I had to set the press ram down on the safety bars then climb up in the damned thing to clean it when I was in a shop.

company paid for all and I got paid for the time off.

Sorry man I really am!!  I am an optician and see this kind of stuff all the time.  I had a big blast of flame to the face one time that took off all my eyelashes on my left eye.  It burnt my cornea and my eyelashes curled up and fell into my eye.  After blinking a few times they worked like sandpaper in my eye and scratched the crap out of my cornea.  The positive note is that your eyes are some of the fastest parts of your body to heal so its usually better with some numbing drops and antibiotic drops within two days or sometimes less.

So far this is the second timer the first time being my fault, but its doing much better still feel the scratch everytime I blink but that all. thanks all for the support.

You should get a good pair of safety glasses that you can wear all the time.

I used to consider safety glasses a hassle.  Then one day I put on a pair I'd used for only a few weeks.  I could barely see out of them what with all the scratches and coolant splattered on them.  What immediately came to mind was:  If I don't wear these things I'll end up with vision like this.  Problem solved.

Go to a place like Lowes or an industrial supply where you can try on many different shapes and sizes to find a pair that fits comfortably.  Then buy two.  Mirrored lenses are great if you work outdoors and for riding, but in a dimly lit shop they're not a good idea.

most shops require safety glasses anyhow. but, sometimes crap still gets in your eye. sorry to hear bout your eye. eye injuries suck. alot. i'd rather break a finger than get my eye injured. hope you get well soon.

I would but Im a painter so the glasses would get in the way of my headgear. But when Im doing other work in the shop I do wear them when needed.
