** In one of the ''{{CSI}}s'' (or possibly a ''LawAndOrder''...) a man was found nailed to a tree through his head. With two long, lumpy stakes.

** ''{{CSI}}:Miami'', never to be outdone in over-the-topness, features a guy getting killed by injecting air into his bloodstream via the veins in his eye. Needless to say, the victim was subdued first. When the investigators figure this out, we get to see it in loving body-cam detail. Although ridiculous, at least it's established as being pragmatic as well... it made it very very hard to figure out the cause of death.

** ''{{CSI}}:NY'' used this in a recent Season 5 Episode, when Stella and Mac get out to drink a cup of coffee. An eyeball drops from the sky (carried by some kinde of vulture) right into Stellas cup, and leads them to the rest of the body.
** And then there's the episode involving Lady Heather's daughter from the original {{CSI}} TV series, ''Pirates of the Third Reich''. In the episode, Heather's daughter Zoe is found dead in the desert with her right hand missing. When the Asst. M.E. take a look at Zoe eyes during autopsy, her right eyes detaches from the socket. Test done on both eyes (that I think involved stick a large needle into both eye to get the liquid inside) reveals that the detached eye does not belong to Zoe but to someone who is male. Eventually the audience learns that Zoe and others were held captive and experimented on by a Neo-Nazi. The Nazi follower thought Zoe was the perfect woman, except for the fact that she had mismatched eyes. So he sets out to correct this problem by extracting an eye from a male captive and placing the eye in Zoe socket. (The male victim survived the procedure but was lobotomized in the process.)

** Later, he despairs of his seemingly going insane and attempts a self-lobotomy by hamming a long metal stick through his eye. Thankfully he numbed it first, and Olivia stops him before much damage is done.

** The premiere episode of season four had a psychic seeing the true face of an angel, and in turn had her eyes burned out, complete with blood streaking down her face, and her eye sockets being a black void of nothing. How this show is able to get away with stuff like this is beyond me.

* ''LieToMe'' has a serial rapist who, not happy with just raping his victims, also blinds them by pouring acid in their eyes. We are thankfully spared the act itself, but we are treated to a look at the face of one of the victims after the wounds have healed. * shudder*
** He does explain to Cal that he blinds them so that they cannot ID him as the rapist.

* ''{{24}}''. [[spoiler: After being slapped around by Leytanin (spelling?) way too much, Renee finally loses it and stabs him in the eye first before stabbing him another [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 14 times]] elsewhere.]]

* In the [[Law & Order: CI]] episode, "See Me", an optometrist repeatedly operated on several schizophrenic patients too frequently and often in bizarre ways (only operating on one eye or making an incision on the edge of the iris). [[spoiler:As it turns out, he believed that he could treat the visual hallucinations suffered by removing part of the lens. It also turned out that the doctor suffered from schizophrenia as well.]]

* On {{Brimstone}}, the only way to return a damned soul to Hell is to put out both of his or her eyes.

* River Tam from ''{{Firefly}}'' had this happen to her with needles at one point during her time at the Academy, though we only see flashes of this from a nightmare in "The Train Job". Later in "Safe", she rails at Mal during one of her crazy fits that "You can't just stick needles in my eyes and ask me what I see!"

* ''{{Farscape}}'' has several disturbing moments with this trope:

* This may go in Film, but there are ''at least'' two counts of this in the tv series of movie shorts ''MastersofHorror''. The first is in the episode/movie ''Incident on and off of a Mountain Road'', where the killer (dubbed Moonface) uses a drill press to drill neat holes through victims' skulls--entry point being the eyeballs. The second time that I know of is in the episode/movie ''Cigarette Burns'', where the [[spoiler: Chinese butler of a wealthy film enthusiast gouges his eyes out with a knife after being driven insane by La Fin Absolue Du Monde]].

* The {{TalesFromTheCrypt}} episode "Carrion Death" features a murderer getting his eyes pecked out by a vulture.
** The episode "Forever Ambergris" features Steve Buscemi catching malaria and his eyes fall out of their sockets and his idol puts out a cigarette in one of them.

* Alton Brown explains in the Chili Pepper episode to wear gloves when handling capsicums because, as he found out, capsicum stays on human skin for hours and is the reason he can't wear contacts. A ScreamDiscretionShot is provided to illustrate.

* The death of [[spoiler:Jory]] in ''{{Game Of Thrones}}'' has him get a dagger in the eye, followed by a close-up of his face as he takes a good few seconds to die.

** And for a less [[{{Squick}} squicky]] example, in "Under Covers", the late Sophie Rainier had a gold, heart-shaped computer chip surgically embedded in her eye. As Ducky says in the scene where they discover it, no one would normally notice it unless they knew it was there.

*** That was in season 3 of CSI: New York. Hung Out To Dry was the name of the episode.

** And mentioned in "Eve" where the insane Eve 6 says she bit a guard's eyeball (complete with clacking teeth for emphasis). "It was meant as a gesture of affection..."

** I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the episode involving Lady Heather's daughter from the original {{CSI}} TV series, ''Pirates of the Third Reich''. In the episode, Heather's daughter Zoe is found dead in the desert with her right hand missing. When the Asst. M.E. take a look at Zoe eyes during autopsy, her right eyes detaches from the socket. Test done on both eyes (that I think involved stick a large needle into both eye to get the liquid inside) reveals that the detached eye does not belong to Zoe but to someone who is male.
