The most easily ignored kind of glasses – goggles

  I remember when I was in school in the United States, there was a laboratory class, the teacher asked us “how many pairs of shoes? This question is very interesting, we have answered “leather shoes, running shoes, slippers, sandals, basketball shoes, soccer shoes, badminton shoes, rain shoes ……” Then, he asked us: “How many pairs of glasses? ” , we thought about it, in addition to ordinary glasses, contact lenses, and sunglasses, the rest seems to be not much. But the truth is, there are many types of glasses, and one of the more easily overlooked glasses is “goggles”!  I encounter a lot of eye trauma patients in the eye emergency room, many of them young people because of playing basketball or soccer bruised eyes, light bruising, serious eye rupture, and even the final eye is not saved; many renovation workers in the work often by the splash of nails, iron, wood chips and other foreign objects hit the eye, causing irreparable damage; New Year’s Day there are a lot of children playing firecrackers to blow up the eyes; there are some There are also some researchers in laboratories who have caused serious chemical injuries because solvents have accidentally splashed into their eyes …… This all stems from the fact that they do not wear goggles during sports, work or play.  Goggles, a special-purpose eyewear, vary according to the occasion of use, and mainly serve to protect the eyes from accidental injury on specific occasions. Commonly there are anti-light radiation glasses, such as welders, gas welders and other types of work will wear such glasses, not wearing such glasses may cause corneal disease, cataracts and fundus disease; there are also anti-chemical solution medical glasses, mainly used in laboratories, hospitals and other places of staff, to prevent their eyes from direct contact with chemical solutions may cause serious chemical injuries; in addition there is an anti-impact glasses, turners In addition, there is a kind of anti-impact glasses, turners, sanders, stonemasons, renovators, etc. If you do not wear these goggles at work, high-speed splash out of the iron, stone, wood chips and other foreign objects may penetrate the eye, causing infection, the need for emergency surgery, but the prognosis is not good; there are many people are injured in sports, although their eyes did not encounter foreign objects, but the powerful blunt force may also cause eye rupture, the same need for emergency surgery.  Since goggles are so important, why are they ignored by everyone? The main reason is that safety awareness is not strong, there is a fluke mentality, in order to save money or feel the trouble of wearing goggles and comfort themselves “as long as I pay attention to the point will be fine”, but the small probability of the accident when it happens, the damage caused but there is no regret to eat, many people’s eyes may not be able to save, patients and families have borne a lot of financial and psychological pressure. Many people’s eyes are not always saved, and patients and families bear a lot of financial and psychological pressure, which could have been avoided by wearing a pair of goggles. It’s not worth it to save money or the hassle of potentially making yourself blind.  For those who like sports, especially basketball and soccer, those who work on renovations, those who need to operate machinery, those who set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, and those who work in laboratories, please wear goggles to protect your eyes!
