Nope that eye advice is for MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone PEROXIDE) aka
polyester or vinylester resin catalyst although you don't want MEKP
in your eyes either.

I saw a safety note about MEK some years ago. The note said that if
you get a splash of MEK in your eye, you have about 15 seconds to wash
it out. If you don't do this, the MEK will eat away at the cornea and
at some time in the future, possibly 15-25 years, you'll start to lose
the sight in that eye.
I have not seen this warning since, but I avoid MEK if at all
possible, and if not, use serious eye protection like a full face mask
rather than goggles with ventilation holes.
We used some MEK based ink in an industrial inkjet printer some years
ago and abandoned it because it gave everyone in the room a headache.
