    American Academy of Ophthalmology answered:

    Always wear safety glasses when using garden tools or mowing.

    Pick up rocks and stones before going over them with your lawnmower. Stones can shoot out of the rotary blades and rebound off curbs or walls, causing severe eye injuries.

    Do not allow anyone in the yard while you are operating a lawnmower.

    Avoid low-hanging branches.
