It did penetrate the eyelid and cut the right side of the eyeball. There is still a very slight blurrines but only periferally. This is supposed to heal completely. The bone area beside my eye, near the temple still smarts if I press it hard. I just went varmint hunting in the mountains and used a scoped 22-250. I had no problems.

Thanks for letting me know. I was at a match the other day and a guy was complaining his glasses were fogging up. He wanted to use contact lens. I told him that doing away with safety glasses wasn't a good idea. Then I realized he wasn't wearing safety glasses. His regular glasses would have just added to the shrapnel. I've seen .223 brass flying as far as 25 feet. I can imagine a Garand tossing a 30-06 empty and breaking someone's glasses.
