uuhhh yeah... (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)

Glad things worked out.
I had a guy at my base have the same basic thing happen. Little piece of metal in the eye. didn't think much of it...............ended up getting medically discharged for it as his vision was no longer adequate for flight status. Too bad too, he was a cool guy. Fun facts: -the eye has one of the most innervated surfaces on the body. -even though the cornea has no vasculature, it is one of the quickest repair sites on the body. |
