Eyewear suggestions for class II lasers?

Hi, I apologize profusely if there is already a thread with this question, but I haven't found it yet.
Anyways. I've been working at a Laser Tag Arena since January and I've been accidentally hit in the eye with these lasers so many times. Now, according to what I have been able to find, I don't necessarily *need* eyewear for class II green visible light lasers, but I average about 15 hits a day.
Should I be looking into protective eyewear or am I just overreacting due to being raised on The New Yankee Workshop and being told "always wear your saftey goggles."

You're fine. Class II lasers are limited to powers to <1mW and the risk of damage at such low power is almost 0, so focus on enjoying laser tag :)
