Well I suppose that would be difficult to do.
Went to a co-worker's summer cabin on Saturday...I swear a bug flew right into my left eye, outer corner. Wasn't sure...at the time I thought it could have been ash from the fire.
Flushed the eye, still felt like something was in it, it was semi swollen and really (I mean really) irritated. Itched a lot as well. So yesterday I flushed it a few more times, with bottled spring water, then put moisturizing drops in it. Fashioned an eye patch from a sleep mask because I figured something got scratched somewhere and it would be best not to keep blinking. No, I didn't take pictures.
This morning it was "better" but not normal so I went to the eye doc, he examines me and pulls out something (we don't really know what, but it was long!} that had lodged itself into my upper eyelid. He said it could have been a piece of a bug. Or a shard of some sort... Scratched the cornea a bit, but not too bad.
Antibiotic eye drops are already making a difference in just a few hours.
Next time you think you just got a little dust (or bug
) in your eye...might want to consider visiting your eye clinic.
