a good argument for wearing eye protection
Haskell from the Orvis store in Dallas shared this with the folks on Texas Fly Report. Makes one more prone to wear something over the eyes while fishing.

"If I'm not going to catch anything, then I 'd rather not catch anything on flies" ... Bob Lawless
never want to go through that, have and will always wear eye protection.

I am fortunate that did not happen to me. Had a heavy splitshot and fly spang off my prescription glasses this spring, then spin around and hit my cheekbone. It gave me a great shiner, and a sty in the corner of my eye that still lingers 2 months later! Had I not worn glasses, I'd be able to awe my nieces and nephews with my removable glass eye.
Oiks! Glad that you are still binocular!

I would like to observe (no pun intended) that this is another good reason to use barbless hooks.
Bob, you make a good point there.
