A pensioner is lucky to be alive after impaling himself in the eye with a pair of pruning shears.

Leroy Luetscher, 86, had been gardening outside his home in Tucson, Arizona, when the horrific accident took place - but amazingly he is expected to make a full recovery.

He had dropped the shears which landed point-side down in the ground and then bent down to pick them up. But he lost his balance and fell face down directly on to the handle.
