In the US alone, there are about 2000 work-related eye injuries that happen every day. Why do people get their eyes injured during work? There are two main reasons: First, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"background: white\">n<span style=\"color: black\">ot wearing eye protection. Second, wearing the wrong kind of eye protection for the job. So how do we protect our eyes while working? Safety experts and doctors say that wearing or using the right eye protection gear will lessen the chances of injuries by as much as ninety percent (90%). Below are some of the most common potential eye hazards:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"border: none;margin-top: 0cm;margin-right: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify;margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"line-height: normal\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"color: black\">Flying Particles, or any solid matter in the air, e.g., dust, cobbles &amp; pebbles, wood, metal, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"border: none;margin-top: 0cm;margin-right: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify;margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"line-height: normal\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"color: black\">Bloodborne pathogens from blood and body fluids<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"border: none;margin-top: 0cm;margin-right: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify;margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"line-height: normal\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"color: black\">Splashes from chemicals and chemical fumes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"border: none;margin-top: 0cm;margin-right: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify;margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"line-height: normal\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"color: black\">Radiation, i.e., ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, lasers, and heat <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"border: none;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify;margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt\"><span style=\"line-height: normal\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"color: black\">Another common eye problem at work is what we call the Computer Vision Syndrome, also referred to as Digital Eye Strain.
