Be careful when you open your eye in the morning, don't rush because the healing is easily torn.

Whenever I've done it, being in a draught is agony.

Scratched cornea, right eye, right in the middle. 

 

Just a bloody twig on a site visit. It's so easily done. Looking up at trees, turn around, twig in the eye.

 

Safety specs from now on I think.

Don’t you wear eye protection usually?

When working, yes, but not ordinarily when walking through a woodland

Worst pain I ever felt. Like burning hot sand scraping across your eyes.. lingered for days. Wouldn't volunteer myself again! after all it is easily avoidable.

I had a bit of red hot steel melt into my eye ball just last week, after a few days went to docs, she jabbed it with an ear bud, now it was sore, said emergency got a&e right away, so i phoned asked the waiting times, eye clinic is shut, anyway found a private clinic so phoned and just asked if someone could get it out, they said we have a specialist and he will stay late, we’ll... went down and this very nice guy had a look, wax a bit concerned as it was deep, so he checked the back of the eye ball, then he said all looks good so look at a point and don’t move your eye, i could feel him in there but no pain, when he got it out, i asked him what it was etc etc and what did he use to get it out, he said, steel, and he used a hyperdermic syringe needle, great job, better safety glasses from now on [emoji106]

When i was in swansea a chap from port talbot came into A&E when I was there also, just the same, place was so busy a very butch junior doctor came into the waiting room, as the cubicles were full and she hooked it out with a needle from hypodermic, I was stunned, I expected a load of jelly to erupt from his eyeball,
