I would never had seen a need to wear eye protection for that sort of a job.

For a long time I had a pair of glasses with a little but deep scratch on one lens. My then-12 or 15 month old nephew hit me in the face with the sharp end of a toy. It would have been a serious eye injury if I hadn't had on my glasses. Yes you are right, the risks come for everywhere.
