When I was 6 our cursed VCR ate my Aladdin tape. I took apart the VCR to try to rescue the tape and ended up with a small spring tearing the cornea and iris of my right eye.
I am insanely lucky that a family friend just happened to be one of the nation’s foremost pediatric ophthalmologists and that my hometown has an excellent optometry school or I may have lost my eye. Somewhere there are case studies that were done on my eye. I ended up having to wear an eyepatch for a few weeks too which made me the coolest first grader ever.
Wow! Much more interesting that I would have expected. When I was a kid I met another kid who was blind due to a rubber band paperclip dart to the eye. Well he wasn’t blind just had two pupils that made things weird to see.
Due to a childhood accident, I have a vastly different astigmatism in each eye so the lines and streaks are all double vision and ghostly.
Rubber band to the eye? C’mon tell us more! My astigmatism is pretty bad too.

How are you not dead, I’m pretty site VCR’s also have capacitors
Some of which can hold a charge big enough to kill you or injure you especially at 6 years old
