Do you call a late foul? Call an officials timeout for his injury? Play on? What are your thoughts?

I have always ruled an inadvertent poke in the eye to not be a foul. I simply stop the game and give the player a moment or two to recover. Invariably the opponent is apologetic and the game continues nicely.
That's just what works for me.
