I’m usually really good at getting things off of my eyeballs. I had a lot of practice from back when I wore contact lenses. You kind of have to get over the natural “Hey, don’t stick your fingers in your eyes!” instinct. That said, it would be more convenient if I could just pop them out and give them a quick rinse occasionally.
And if you remove the eye at least you prevent it from ever happening again.
But what about the other eye?
This is when it would be useful to be Biff. You _could_ remove your eyes and rinse them off.
