For $500 I went under the laser and got my eyes done, now I just wear safety glasses when in the Dungeon and a full faceshield when warranted (roughing out bowl for example).
Do you have some sort of a dust collection set up on your router? My hand held is a Hitachi M8, bought it years ago, it is not the best hand held, and the vacuum attachment is less than great, as it only gets about 80% of the chips and dust, but that is a large improvement just the same.
Cheers!
