shooting your eye out 

something bad happening after being repeatedly warned it would, like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story"
Boy, you really ended up shooting your eye out last night. I told you not to drive around without car insurance, and you ended up getting a ticket for 700 dollars...

You'll shoot your eye out 

A popular phrase from the movie "A Chiristmas Story" that is first heard by Ralphie's mom when he asks her for a Red Ryder bb gun.
"You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

"Oh, no! I shot my eye out!"

I'll keep my eye out for you 

the cheapest sex trev could find was One-eyed-Hilda who would charge him 50p for a quickie in the old eye-socket.
"'bye trev" cackled the old girl "I'll keep my eye out for you."

In one eye out the other

When your mind is completely elsewhere or unfocused as you watch someone demonstrate how to complete a certain task
Him: Aaaaand it’s that easy! That’s how you put a windshield wiper on a car. Now you try to put the other one on!

You: yeah I would love to but all of that just went in one eye out the other…

Run your eye out 

To run/move so fast, that the observer’s eyes have a hard time catching up.
