This could all be hearsay and folklore

I also read about this type of torture. The poker was brought towards the eye, and the cornea would melt and the substance within the eye would bubble and boil. Must have been horribly painful without killing the dude.
I think I experienced that type of pain watching the NFC championship game this year...
