Subject: RE: Metal in eye


Western illinois
I had a fleck of steel hit an eye a few years ago. No pain and almost closing time, but I had a dark floater. I called the eye Dr and they waited on me. I ended up in ER at 10 pm 2 hours away. Surgery at 3am to remove it. They said if I hadn’t gone in, it most likely would’ve rusted and could have very well cost me my vision. If it’s stuck that tightly, you need a physician imo. I think they used a magnet on mine, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Better safe than sorry.
Edit to add. My ophthalmologist wouldn’t touch it. He said surgery was the only way.
