Lol I also had to rock child eyepatch because I was running around and ran eye first into a lit cigarette. Fully functional vision and no scarring or marks on my eye thankfully.

How in the ever loving fuck.....?! You're extremely lucky to keep your eye and vision intact.

Yeah it didn't hit me on the iris or pupil area I guess, was very lucky. I'll ask my parents about it in the morning as I was very young when this happened and the memory of the day is quite fuzzy. But I remember running around while my parents were outside chatting and smoking, someone had their arm hanging out over the arm rest in the patio chair, and I just ran face first into the lit cigarette.

E: just talked to dad. Idk how I even remember this, but apparently I was only about 2 or 3 yrs old, and yeah, I just ran face first into his lit cigarette. Superficial damage only, but made himself feel absolutely terrible thinking he'd blinded me lol.
