BB reminded me that you're an eye Dr. How about a freebie?
Last Friday a piece of rust hit my eye, even though I was
wearing safety glasses. I believe it bounced out right away,
but the next day it was all red and very, very sore.
Couldn't see anything in there, but stilI washed it out
several times. In the morning my eyelid was stuck closed,
till I washed it. It got better by Monday, so I didn't see
our Doc. it's fine now.
My Q is, could that have gotten like that even if the piece
of rust didn't stay in. Bruised eye?

Um, Scotty. He is a contact lens sales associate. You need an ophthalmologist.

At all of the Vitreo-Retinal consultants offices I have been to over the
eyars, it is the optometrist who does the work regarding corneal
abrasions and debris removal under the slit lamp...Max is fully
qualified to ggive his opinion, and for that matter, to do that
procedure...it is not something, though, that you go to D.O.C. or
Lenscrafter's for...
