My son fell into corners a lot when 2-4 y/o. I used to threaten him with having to wear a full-face helmet for the rest of his life.

He has a small scar in one eyebrow, it is not very noticeable and I'm not worried about that. But when his next wound crossed his lip, we were more concerned - that can make for a notable and unattractive scar. healed okay but we would have gone to a cosmetic surgeon otherwise. Scar on forehead - hmmm, if its going to be notable when he's grown up, I would try to do something about it.

I don't think there is much you can do about his accident rate, at his age. Watch him more closely, point out and steer him away from dangerous behaviour. I don't believe in smothering the house with cushions, but particularly sharp corners and tripping hazards should go away. But you don't want a timid weenie. Eventually he will get better coordinated, more thinking, etc. Hopefully with both eyes.
