PP, you were very fortunate.
Just think, if it had been a Red Ryder BB gun, he could have shot your eye out! 8>/

No, my eyesite degraded, but not too much. My Dad was most worried I would lose my NROTC scholarship which was getting me through college on Uncle Sam’s dime.
All is well. For several years afterwards, when I visited an optometrist or opthamologist, it would freak out the doctor, but the little plastic pieces were tiny and benign.
