Steel in my eye

Has anyone ever gotten a piece of steel or wood lodged in their eye?

I was using one of these:



to grind some threaded rod out of a concrete floor and a small chunk of steel happened to fly under my safety goggles and embed itself into my eye.

To remove it the eye doctor numbed my eye and used a tweezer to extract the steel, then used another tool to scrape the surface of my eye where the steel entry point was so as to heal better. They said the steel had left a rust ring where it entered.

Odd....

 

thatll teach you to do work!

 

reminds me of the time i got stung by a bee in my eyeball. THat was the worst. Got all swollen

 

This isn't about you though, is it.

 

Why, of course not!! Its all about hhf!

yep, I have to go in about once a year to get a piece of steel taken out of my eyeball

my doc always says 'got another one, huh?'

 

C'mon, dude. Im not like that.
