What a thread...
Around hot boiling liquids, I would wear glasses -- never contacts.
I would recommend that others not try this.
Also, you didn't mention how much. That in itself will determine a lot of things. A simple drop is much different than a splash if you will.
In all fairness, it wasn't a huge amount. After lifting about 40 wings, I lifted the fryer handle and dropped it, like I always do, to shake off excess oil. However, I guess i did it a little too enthusiastically, because it shook off the rod that holds the baskets above the oil and it fell in, splashing oil all over my face and arms. I'd say about 2 ml went in my left eye.
