I was cleaning a valve cover and stupid me wasn’t wearing any eye protection, ended up spraying right back at my eye with a little splash. My eye doesn’t hurt, but my contact was completely dried up, which may be because my contact took the impact. Also, is it a bad thing that no less than 2 second…

So that song played after you made a mistake that anyone could have made . Not really important . I hope that you rinsed both eyes with fresh water quickly and plan to replace the contact lens .

I know exacxtly what the OP’s talking about. Only in my case, I wasn’t wearing contacts. Tester

I once splashed a little bleach in my eye while cleaning in the bathroom. Luckily the shower head is a wand on a hose. Leaned over the bath tub and sprayed cold water up into the eye for 15-20 minutes. I promptly bought a 6-pack of safety glasses and keep a pair in every room that has something I…

Being if I loose my good eye, I am going to be bad off, so I am senior safety glasses man. The worst is when you poke your eye with the ear piece putting on your safety glasses :wink:

Showers, bubblers, safety glasses, and even hearing protection are relatively new things that weren’t around 50 years ago. I still forget to put the glasses on sometimes and over the years have gotten Gunk engine cleaner, rifle cleaning solvent, metal and wood shavings, plain old stuff from the sno…
