just back from the eye hospital after having metal removed with a needle
long story but this is the abridged version
was working on the 4x4 monday as u do carbide bur making a few holes bigger for some bash plates safety glasses on yeh i know now googles would have been better.
didnt realise something went in but it must have, did some welding and bits on truck too
tuesday went to work 2nd day of first aid course little sensitive the eye but though id caught an arc welding
wednesday morning bad eye went to quack told i had conjuntivitse so drps prescribed suffered in pain until today then went to the local minor injuries told rusty metal in eye and refered to eye hospital went there and they reomoved the rusty metal with a needle it had broken down to 3 or 4 bits now it hurts even more!
so moral of the story is wear googles because u dont always know when something has entered the eye
