Just be careful with not losing an eye on a tree branch, not so hard to achieve. Or just tripping over some unexpected root and ending with all sorts of injuries, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere.
That said I've done it couple of times, but almost always on snow so I saw where laying my feet and on paths I knew I don't need to be worried with above.

There are probably more UFO sightings than the sample size of people losing an eye from a branch while walking. Probably in the history of humanity. How stupid would they have to be? Do the branches you know prey on human eyes? Do they do that striking snake kung-fu move whenever they see a human eye?

You may be surprised how easy it is to damage your eyes. However, I have gone on many night hikes, and I wouldn’t let that worry hold me back. Moonlight is pretty bright once you get used to it, and even starlight in some places.
