I worked for an ophthalmologist before med school and I can't tell you how many times we removed pieces of metal from eyes (one of our clinics was connected to a health clinic at a pipe factory). It always amazed me how quickly it rusted too. Good of you to remind everybody to wear eye protection, as you know it can really be painful. We did see a few cases where somebody got metal in their eye even though they were wearing eye protection.
