Margaret (me):

That theory won't work.  A dragon's eyes are it's WEAKEST point (GoF 
US hardcover pg 406) as Sirius said in his letter to Harry in the 
chapter The Yule Ball: 

"I was going to suggest a Conjunctuvitis Curse as a dragon's eyes are 
it's weakest point." 
"That's what Krum did!" Hermione whispered.

And as we know, Krum's way hurt the dragon so much, it crushed a lot 
of it's own eggs.
