Grandpa: “It’s just a quick job. Don’t need any gear.”
Also Grandpa: out in the backyard with a power drill, one sock on, no safety glasses, balancing on a garden chair like he’s auditioning for Australia’s Got Talent.
Legend. But also, a walking eye injury waiting to happen. That's why Home Eye Safety Month exists for a reason. DIY projects and “just a minute” jobs cause more eye injuries at home than you’d think — especially for older adults.
So this October, maybe gift Grandpa a nice pair of safety specs.
He’ll roll his eyes. But at least he’ll still have them. 🙄
