I seem to suffer from this quite a lot. Usually when climbing and winds are blowing sawdust in my eyes. It seems to appear later that night, but is easily cleared up with non-perscription eye drops. This usually happen about 8 or 9 times a year. Does anyone else have this problem, or is it something I am susceptible to?

I think most people are susceptible to sore eyes if enough sawdust gets blasted into them. With me it's only a problem on windy days when chogging down big stems. Don't treat the symptoms; treat the problem: Goggles or safety specs when you think you're going to have problems.

 

Will have to invest in a pair (thought someone wouldd mention goggles) You seem to get it doing the same thing as me.

Yeah sawdust in the eyes is a right pain! Also it rests on your fore head and eyelids and drops back in your eyes when you whipe your face lol how you doing anyhow dave? Hope your keeping well.

I had a major problem with this about six months ago lasted at least 2 months. I think it is related to species. Never had it before or after. Will try and nail down which wood caused it. I was cutting Oak, spaulted beech, ash, lime, Sycamore, birch,
