When I was in jr. high, I accidentally poked myself in the eyeball with an ice pick, while trying to get a knot out of a strap on my backpack. Blood was oozing out of the white part of my eyeball right under the iris. I had to go in for emergency surgery, and have internal and external stitches on my eye. Had to wear a patch for several months.
Kept my vision, by some crazy stroke of luck. Just a millimeter or so in a different location, and I would have lost my eye. I still have floaters and squigglies in my vision because of some fluid on my lens, but I consider myself fortunate. Depth perception FTW!
