Wow, is that really your strategy, to knock someone out? I suppose you use a bare knuckle fist as well. You cannot base your overall strategy on a knock out dude. If you achieve it, then great, but there are many who either can’t be knocked out or similarly, many who cannot knock someone out. Can you imagine the average woman being able to knock someone out? Bad strategy and closed fist techniques are bad tactically as primary tools.
As Mike pointed out, there are many platforms to launch an eye attack. I have personally delivered many eye jabs from a static pre-emptive natural posture and been successful every time. Even once, the eye jab alone finished the deal. I think what TylerJamesMead was looking for was a drill and some equipment where you could successfully implement a Thumb Gouge to the eyes whist ground fighting. I use a drill that Hock showed me called “The Rattle Snake.” This where Man A wears a pair of swimming goggles and Man B plays the part of the submission wrestler. Both guys start to grapple; Man A’s sole intention is to move for position to attack with a thumb gouge. Man B is just the submission stylist who can defend the thumb gouge, but can only use his wrestling skills to do so. Most of the time, the thumb gouger achieves his mission before the wrestler can submit him. It has to be a 3-5 second uninterrupted thumb gouge where you have an anchor or you are using the floor or a wall for leverage to achieve the uninterrupted gouge.
This is a great drill that you can add other tactics to- give it a try!

my point is that virtually no one will be in a fight that requires that level of violence.
Should you ever be in a fight then doing something more reasonable like going for a knockout is more sensible.
Why would you want to blind someone over what probably is nothing.
What would the consequences of blinding someone be? probably a lengthy prison spell.
I didnt say dont train it. i train it myself, im just pointing out its an extreme technque that escalates the fight enormously and is usually totally uncalled for.
