A member asked:
Can being stabbed in the eye with a knife be fatal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: This could cause loss of vision and if the eye is penetrated, most likely blindness. But unless the knife is infected and the infection spreads for instance to the brain, or if the knife went through the eye into the brain, fatality would otherwise be unlikely.
