Ok, here's the obvious one: what do you mean? How do you "take care" of your eye and how do you lose it?

I definitely think it's cheating per the exercise itself, but if you have to to get it done, so be it. It's also "cheating" to fail and retry, but I did that damned rotated box exercise 7 times until I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.
