Eyesight is a wonderful gift from God. We take a lot of things for granted in our lifetimes and I think our eyesight is one thing that in my mind is very difficult to do without. I know many are blind and they cope with their world they live in.

When I was younger I delight in the perfect eyesight I enjoyed. But as the years have passed things that I once saw perfectly is growing dimmer as the years pass.

One way to protect your eyes is to be aware of your surroundings and wear protective glasses and goggles when needed. Do not develop the attitude well nothing bad will happen to me. If it can happen take my word it will happen when you least expect it. Mowing your lawn is a definite threat to get an injury. I know we all fit here because many of us have to keep our lawns trimmed.

Being smart will protect you being careless may cost you your eyesight.

Lawn mowing is not the only area you need to use good judgment-grinding or sharpening mower blade can get you a bit of steel-around welding if you do not have welding goggles do not look at the glare the welding rod produces.

I have never had an eye injury - and like my opening statement I thank God for this.
