How would you enjoy the flowers in your garden or the expressions on your children's faces at Christmas? Your eyes are important in almost all your activities, and because eyes come only one pair (not two or three) to a customer, they deserve all the care and protection you can give them.

The most important thing you can do is to wear eye protection when there is a danger of flying particles, dust or harmful liquids getting into your eyes. Perhaps you think that your ordinary eyeglasses offer enough protection against any eye hazards you may encounter. Think again! On impact, regular lenses tend to shatter more easily.
