Gardening: Protecting your eyes from accidents and injury

"Gardening:

There are a number of simple safety precautions in the garden that can help to prevent eye injuries.

  • Always inspect your lawn for debris before you start to mow as flying stones or wood can cause eye damage.
  • Be aware of low branches and take care when pruning. Protecting your eyes with safety goggles greatly reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Any canes that are used in your garden should be easy to see. Marking the top of the cane something brightly coloured can avoid nasty accidents.
  • If you use chemicals in your garden, read manufacturers' guidelines carefully. Most chemicals should be kept away from the eyes and often it is sensible to wear safety goggles when using them, especially over large areas."
