When i was in college I was soldering something really small (don't remember what it was) and flicked molten solder right in to the tear duct on the inside corner of one of my eyes. Not fun but didn't hurt anything permanently.

Always wear eye protection! Electrical engineers don’t think about these things cause they’re not dealing with power tools but I’ve seen a wire fly off from a wire cutter into someone’s eye doing considerable damage.
