Tune the guitar in the same position you play it. Even if you've just restrung it. Just get them semi tight and then hold the guitar normally when your tightening the strings to tune. That way, all broken strings fly away from the body.....you've just got to worry about your hands. And do it slooooooooowly.
Does suck about your eye though - hope it doesn't get infected.
