Metal Goggles Guard Eyes from Shrapnel Splinters
Special metal goggles to protect the eyes from flying fragments of shrapnel during an enemy bombardment have been introduced in England. Circular pieces of metal which drop down over large eye holes have narrow cross slits through which the wearer can see his way to shelter.
Do I need to worry about getting shrapnels in the eye, if I am soenwhere where shrapnels from bombs! fly around?! oO

Yeah, you do. Splinters in an arm can be pulled out or left in as situation dictates but fragments in the eye have obvious consequences.
