In my way of thinking, a primer is nothing but a miniature hand-grenade, a very sensitive one, something to be very careful when handling.

P.S. - The medical profession doesn't have eyeball transplants perfected yet!

Always wear safety glasses when working around primers or with any other reloading activity.
In the first place, I always have eye protection...as I wear glasses instead of contacts now.

Secondly...sensitive hand grenade?? Sensitive noise-maker, maybe.

Thirdly, I've unseated primers for a couple different reasons and there is no reason to toss the case out just because you have a bad primer or seated it wrong.
