It's time for our annual reminder to those celebrating tonight with bubbles, that eye injuries from champagne corks can cause some serious eye damage, even permanent blindness!

Thankfully the British Medical Journal has provided 5 tips to keep your eyes and other eyes safe, so there are no (champagne) problems!

1. Chill that bottle before opening and do not shake it (like a polaroid picture)

2. Turn around (bright eyes) and face the bottle away from yourself and others - don’t forget to put it at a 45-degree angle

3. Remove the wire cage carefully from the bottle while putting that cork (under pressure) with the palm of your hand

4. Place a towel over the top of the bottle and hold (on) the cork firmly

5. Gently twist (and shout) the bottle, not the cork, until the cork loosens and counteract the upward moving force of the cork by pressing down on it
