*This question is for the few OTers who actually mow their own yard.

Mowing, no. I don't really see why you'd need to.


Trimming, no, but I should. I always get pelted with shite doing that job.

I usually do, but mostly because they're also sunglasses. They do come in handy when I edge or weed eat, though.

Yes, I wear sunglasses and most of the time, they are z87. Don't think I could cut without blocking the sun some kind of way.

I just walked outside and asked Cristobal, and he says he always makes his crew wear eye protection.

Yes. Used to not until I saw my brother nearly lose his eye. Was a really scary situation.

Didn't use hearing protection until this year.

Sunglasses, unless I'm cutting at night. And if I'm cutting at night I'm to drunk to care

I don't wear eye protection while mowing but I do while using the concrete edger and weed eater.

I finished using the weed eater the other day and realized my safety glasses were still propped up on top of my hat. A lot of good they were doing.
