Does hot oven steam damage the eyes? in the past week i've repetitively had to work around ovens. no eye symptoms, but any potential threats of steam?

Yes: Eyelid and corneal burns can be quite severe if concentrated steam exposure occurs. Be careful. Wear protective eyewear if you have to work around steam and ovens.
