During filming of the original "The Pink Panther" (1963) movie, actor Robert Wagner was blinded.

While shooting a bubble-bath gag scene involving an industrial-strength foaming agent, the chemicals burned the skin of both Wagner and his co-star Capucine. Wagner was reportedly temporarily blinded for several weeks after being submerged in the foam, with corneal irritation so severe that he could not see clearly for a period of time.

Really, there's a tragic litany of incidents like this going all the way back to the Nickelodeon era. Production folks sometimes screw up, leading to actors and stuntpeople getting hurt, or even killed, as with Brandon Lee in "The Crow," or with The Twilight Zone movie, in which three actors were beheaded / fatally injured by a helicopter crash.
