Protective eye glasses

I have seen many patients come with severe injuries due to damage to the eyes at the work place or in road accidents. It is quite sad that there is a careless attitude from the point of view of the workers who do not want to wear protective glasses. 

The unfortunate thing is the patients usually lose the eye and I am forced to contemplate an artificial eye for them. I agree the artificial eye is a good cosmetic solution, but there should be strict rules at the work place and more discipline on the part of industrial workers who should wear protective glasses.

These are made of CR 39 or Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is of course superior. 
They should cover the eyes completely leaving no gaps at the edges. 

Again while driving on the road, eyewear made of CR or polycarbonate should be worn. Even small foreign bodies can get into the eyes and create problems. Indeed I have removed many of them .
