having spent most of sunday night / monday morning in A&E having a microscopic piece of metal from the grinder that managed to fly round my safety specs removed from my left eye.

Then returning monday daytime after 4 hours sleep to have the ring of rust it had left behind scraped off my retina with a needle I would highly reccomend wearing goggles instead of glasses when doing sustained ammounts of grinding.

Not very fun at all!

ahh sh!t that dont sound good , hope your on the mend soon , i know a few years ago my dad's retina actually came away from his eye and he lost all his site , and had to have it laser joined again some scary stuff though

its pretty much sorted now.

just gotta put some cream in it for 7 days to stop the scratch on my cornea from getting infected

Those people at A+E are amazing.. Get well soon...
(Funny thing is I was sorting out some stuff yesterday and came across my old googles and thought to myself.. Must wear these)

yup you want these! they keep all the sparks out!


I've lost mine so have been wearing these for the last few weeks and although they look cooler I've had a few close calls!

......I had better start wearing something when I'm grinding then. I use that thing a LOT and most times I'm not even wearing my normal glasses.

always wear your safety specs!

yeah big up the staff at GWH in Swindon for a doing a cracking job.

they even squeezed me in to have the rust ring removed on the BH Monday even tho the eye clinic was shut! Saved me a day off work

i found with the "cooler" looking ones , are a bit pants if your working undernearth because all the shit still lands undernearth them

but anyways as they so (kinda agreee/not ) is safety first
