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?

Nope. You had a foreign body lodged in your cornea, at least until you
washed it out or it just fell out by itself. Glad it's gone--rust , or
rusting ferrous metal, can wreak havoc with a cornea. Next time go get it
removed in a timely fashion.

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...

And when things are slow, Max is fully trained to operate the "Photo's
in an Hour" machine, too! Fortunately for Jeff, newer cash registers
tell him how much change to give, or he wouldn't be able to do either
job.

You're always so quick to point out what others can and can't do when
you don''t know them at all....

He should also wear safety goggle as opposed to safety glasses. Also a
full face shield come in handy too using any wheeled tool. I had a
metal shaving cut a nice little ditch in my eye just to the side of
the cornea, did not hurt at all, but the little ditch is still there.
Had it been on the cornea then I suspect it would have messed up part
of my vision big time.

No...but I know Max...I could care less about you..I doubt you'd let
anyone here know you...

Thanks, Max.

Yeah I know it's a pain in the ass. Better than being blinded. If
using a wheel grinder you should also have leather elbow high gloves.
The marina owner here last years was helping his brother weld up some
new boat stands, the grinder kicked on him and grinded down to the
bone on his forearm. Better safe than sorry.
