If I have any doubts about a snake I've put on sunglasses or the clear eye protector goggles I use for power tools, but honestly that is rare for me to do.
I've always wondered if the glasses might also provoke a bite, since they make our eyes look even bigger & perhaps more predatory? But safety first, vision is
pretty important.
There is someone in the UK forum who got a bad snake bite though her eyeball just a few years ago z
I'll do some digging and try and find out how things turned out ..
