It's not easy to make me say eek but the needle to the sclera thing...eek!

A needle? Pffft, imagine a drill! I tell the true accounts to reservists and co-workers alike, to get them to wear their safety glasses; if you get a sliver of metal in your eye, the doctor not only takes it out, but you have to watch (usually from restraints) as he prepares a tiny, sterile drill bit on basically a Dremel tool. This is going right into the surface of the eyeball, because the site of the sliver has to be completely excised of possible rust contamination or your whole eye could be infected.

Back in my youth I was using a cutting torch to pierce holes in the vertical parts of I-beams and a spot of molten slag bounced through the vent in the std-issue cutting goggles I was using and into my cornea.

I drove myself to the hospital where my dad looked at it and said "you really need to see an opthamologist about this one" and then drove to the opthamologists where they popped it out in no time with a few drops of local anesthetic.

Back at work.

When my brother worked in an autobody shop, he got metal filings in his eye and had to go through that.
