(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)  I was using the sawzall today cutting up a car.... and I took off my saftey glasses to see where I needed to cut next...well, I forgot to put them back on and went at it... I ended up getting hit in the eye with something...I just thought it was dirt or something..... I didn't really pay any attention to it... well, about four hours later, my eye started hurting...just a small throbbing pain... I go and look at it in the mirror, and see something  on my eye, I tryed to wipe it off, but it wouldn't move...it is reflective too... so i assume a piece of metal is stuck in my eye...it is VERY small though... and is at the very outer edge of my iris...It is about the size of the tip of a needle.... uhhh... I put some eyedrops in but the pain comes back after about five minutes.... what should I do??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)   |
