Nope, it's you.  ?

old dive mask in the shower as big daily eye bath/sluice, and optrex, good luck with eyeballs

I think there must be an element of bad luck with that plywood though Mark.  I wonder also if your woodworking has developed sensitivity.

You only get one set of eyes and one set of lungs so from now on take no chances; remember, you're working with the stuff day in, day out, not occasionally like a hobby woodworker.

Fingers, on the other hand (!), grow back so I wouldn't worry about them. ?

 

And for heaven's sake don't go crossing any roads;  you'll get squashed by the World's only runaway tank transporter.

I do normally wear my air shield even when using the table saw , only just turned around to help my mate , and don’t worry I will look out for tank transporters

Sawdust in the eye is considerably better than cement or lime.
I've tried both.

I tried exhaust assembly paste once, just a drop. As alkaline as bleach apparently, scarred the eyeball.

But nothing is good, it's so frustrating having sore eyes and can't rub or scratch or anything. Hope you clear up soon.

chip in the eye is a constant issue for me. especially when carving. i try to wear those fly like mesh googles whenever i can, but you know, dust still gets in,

My Airshield pro is the dogs bolox for keeping shit out of my eyes and lungs , it was just a quick helping hand didn’t even think , but on the mend , I was just wondering if I am accident prone my girlfriend is saying I have more mishaps than anybody she has ever known, so I got to wondering what mishaps everyone else suffers , Thanks guys
