Meaning, if you ever get a cut in your eye, go to the doctor, or else you'll lose the eye.

My dog scratched his eye to the point of having an ulcer. Went to the emergency room ASAP ๐Ÿ’ธ

I was in the Army, and stabbed myself in the eye with so. Many. Branches. So much damage.

That was decades ago, and I'm not blind yet... what's the point at which it becomes a danger?

Actual penetration. When the outside touches anything inside the eye. Something poking the outside really really hard isn't going to introduce your antibodies to the inside of the eye.
