The worst is in the summer when the sweat drags the junk into your eyes. No matter what you do, its gonna suck for the rest of the day, but you probably already know that.

Doesn't somebody make decent eye protection that will truly keep the crap out.The sealed goggles that most hardware/paint stores carry are cheap plastic that doesn't take long to get scratched and screw up your vision!Glasses are useless.
My eyes are junk now after today.

This may sound strange, but when I am working under a car cutting out an exhuast or other debris causing job with a tight fit where literally can't wear goggles or my full face shield, I have found that good swimming goggles ,The type that seal around your eyes are the only thing that will keep stuff out. Safety glasses and goggles will usually do the trick, but sometimes when there is a lot of debris flying around, stuff still seems to get in my eyes. You have to get really good swimming goggles, with the cheap ones, you really can't see well.
I orignally started using the swimming goggles in the kitchen when cutting onions (I cook a lot). Wearing those, I have no problems with onion fumes. My eyes seem to be overly sensitive. One onion and my eyes hurt so bad, I can't stand it.
