>      Steel in the eye is awful. 

    And, if you ever need an MRI you should tell them you have been
    exposed to steel chips, apparently, if you have a piece of steel  in
    your eyeball in an MRI machine it could whirl about thus blinding you
    - or so I have been told. A search revealed this page
    http://www.ajnr.org/cgi/content/full/21/2/426 where it appears that
    it is a very rare problem..... 

    here is a reference: 

    Kelly WN, Paglen PG, Pearson JA, et al. Ferromagnetism of
    intraocular foreign body causes unilateral blindness after MR study.
    Am J Neurol Rev 1986;7:243-245. .
