Default Eyes and plants

Spent the morning in A & E having my right eye looked at, turns out it is
scratched. The cause was a twiggy branch from a hibiscus that caught under
my glasses and went straight up into my eye whilst hand weeding. This is the
second time that similar has happened and the first time I was within 48
hours of loosing my sight according to the surgeon. That time my right eye
was stabbed by the leaf of a oleander and abscessed.
I'm wondering if it's time to wear protecting eye wear if I go anywhere near
plants.
