    Hmm. I get what you’re saying, but our eyes are a massive weak spot. Not just in support of seeing, but those two squishy orbs are all that protects the eye socket and our brains beyond.

      Yeah there’s a reason blind people wear sunglasses; retinal damage can be extremely dangerous, both UV and blunt trauma. Blindness also means you’re lacking the visual threat reflex (blinking/flinching) which can result in a buuunch of other stuff getting damaged, like even just the sinuses/breathey holes and breathey tubes cuz they’re literally right there.
