I was told, in my long-lost youth, by my local ophthalmologist, that most
penetrating FBs while hammering were steel flakes flying off the edge of the
hammer head.
Incidentally my favourite ocular FB involved a lady ( in fact a Lady -titled
husband, labradors, the lot) whom I saw as a trainee who was sitting on a
shooting stick, watching the rest of the gentry slaughter pheasants, when a
dead but vengeful pheasant plunged out of the sky and hit her in the eye. My
chief regret is that the Ophthal. SHO got it into the Xmas BMJ rather than me.
