Yes, that is very true. We probably shouldn't joke about it. It's even more important if you're using modded blasters, like I am. Stock dart blasters shoot about 70 FPS (100 FPS for RIVAL)  which can REALLY hurt if you get hit in the eye at close range. Or maybe worse.

But modded blasters often shoot over 120 FPS. So it's really important to protect your eyes. And it's cheap. Even $3 safety glasses from your local hardware store work fine. I also discovered that laboratory glasses work well too. Some of them are only a buck. I'm just lucky that my everyday eyewear is sport glasses. I prefer them because they're comfortable and super tough.

So no excuses kiddos, just do it !
