Be careful what you wish for...

Boy, Hookbill, there must be something about you that stirs up these faerie's allergies but fortunately for you it grants your wish!

Hurin -yoink!- takes Morgoth's eyes when he leaves Angaband and goes on his merry way. Sauron sees what has happened to him and decides that this is the "in" thing and puts out his eyes... in retrospect he also decides that that was a very bad idea. Later... (after Sauron is defeated at the Last Alliance of Men and Elves) instead of a Great eye, he becomes a Great jaw, and instead of feeling watched wheh Frodo puts on the ring, he feels like he is getting chewed on.

Frodo, being basically bite-sized, is overwhelmed by the very thought and abandons the quest forever.

I wish Gwindor was a huge klutz, I really do.
