Disc from disc drive shattered in my face

so in my room taking apart the thing i hate to take apart the most hard disk drives! well i got one open and without thinking was using the screwdriver under the magnet and without thinking was using the reflective disk as leverage. Worst idea ever!!! within seconds the disk shattered throwing glass like pieces everywhere. one went in my eye it wasn't bad so i continued to pick up the pieces when it shifted on my eye. i rushed to the bathroom to take a look and wash it out. what i saw was a miracle the piece was stuck i my eye lash thank the lord i might not have an eye right now!!!

thank the lord I wear glasses.......I have cd's dvd's, plastic, screws, shards of metal all hit my glasses...........BE SAFE YOU ONLY HAVE TWO EYES!!!!!

Safety, safety, safety. I have become so used to wearing safety glasses, even when pouring molten metal and also wearing a face shield, that I tend to wear them no matter what type of work I am doing. Even when removing a metal button and slag from a slag mold, I wear them. Too many times they have saved pieces of glass/slag from hitting my eyes. Thermal expansion makes the slag pop and throw pieces of tiny shards of glass a good distance.

As other have suggested, I'm going to as well. Wear safety goggles. I know it seems silly and that they can become uncomfortable sometimes, but you will soon get used to them and then feel naked not wearing them. Wear them, they cost less than loosing an eye. Wear them whenever you are working on anything, even if you don't think you need them. You never know what might shatter, break, pop off and end up in your eye.
