I wear glasses so have never gotten any mist in my eyes so wearing some kind of protection for your eyes would be sensible with anything you spray. In other words just use common sense.

Bill, my advice wasn't intended for old farts like us, it was for young farmers who plan on living for another 50 years. Unless someone is spraying more than just a few plants, I recommend a respirator, with the proper cartridge, when spraying any chemical including bleach. I also highly recommend checking the PAN database before using any pesticide.
There are popular pesticides commonly considered safe, that can cause problems . A respirator is a pain-in-the-A to wear but it is relatively cheap insurance.
