When I was in 8th grade, our industrial arts teacher showed us a 45 minute 16mm movie about the use of safety glasses. Some guy took his safety glasses off near a lathe - for a moment. He got a metal chip in his eye and was rushed to the emergency room. The remaining 30 minutes of the movie was a detailed, close-up and graphic operating room procedure of removing the rather large metal chip from his eye. This included: cutting his eyeball open, fishing out the chip with a STRONG electromagnetic device and sewing his eyeball back up after it was out. He was lucky that the chip did not puncture his iris, just the white part of the eye.

I have always worn safety glasses around even remotely potential hazards since seeing that movie. My otherwise unblemished young mind had also been permanently scarred with an "eyeball paranoia".
