Wear eye protection whenever you go out in the yard. You never know when you will see something that you want to take care of immediately. It sounds to me like that will be a rule for you going forward.
I recommend the Gateway Safety UL-Certified StarLite glasses. I got a ten pack in amber off of Amazon for less than $20, and I keep pairs near my doors. They are very comfortable and durable. They are also cheap enough to hand-out to friends or family if you work together outside or go shooting.
I also recommend hearing protection. I bought a pair of 3M Worktunes, and they have great battery life. Only problem is that they don't have a circuit for letting ambient sounds and voices through, but those tend to cost a fortune.
You guys should also check out Peltor shooting glasses. Imo, they're affordable and more comfortable than regular safety glasses. Maybe they're not as beefy, but they'll stop a woodchips to the eye.
While you're at it, electronic ear protection for shooting is also very affordable.
