After they get it out, they use this small dremal type tool to grind out any rust spots that are left. At least that is what they did to me. No kidding.

Happened to me also, about the same way. Twice. (Yah I Know)
First time, straight to the doctors. The second time I took a large magnet (it was mild steel) and put it up to my eye, Sucked it right out. But that's me, remember I did it twice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

BTDT, including "rust ring removal", which you'll need. GO NOW! Shut off the damn computer and catch a ride to wherever you have to go to get it fixed! You'll be in pain, and probably have an eye patch for a few days. If you do the ER, they'll have an eye guy on call. The Cap'n

Am I missing something here? You get a metal sliver in your eye and you choose to ask the people here what to do? Where are your parents??

you guys are horrible! (one eye love (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) )

I'm sure Barry just had that anti-hypochondriac-syndrome we all get sometimes. 'It feels bad, but am I blowing it out of proportion? Maybe I should ask someone first.' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Good luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/locust.gif) & keep us posted.

By the way, you'll never live this down. You know how people joke with me about spanking the guard rail? There'll probably be an eye patch smiley named after you now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)

When in doubt, seek professional help.......... however, I've done it a bunch of times. So far, I've been able to extract via magnet, tweezer, or toothpick. I got plastic stuck once, now that was a pain to get out. Most people don't have the ability to stay perfectly still while working on their own eye. If it's really shallow and just kind of stuck on the surface, it's not really a big deal. What would the rest of you have done long ago when there was no hospital for 100 miles. Keep the pioneer spirit alive. Nothing wrong with a bit of light surgery if you know what you are doing. They call it the "practice" of medicine for a reason.

Note: I have said this AFTER he said he's going to the hospital (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
