Got a piece of metal in my eye yesterday and finally got it removed but the damage was already done. When I woke up this morning it still felt like there was something in there so I went to the ER (family Dr. told me to go there) and found out it was a scratched cornea. First time I've experienced this and not too pleased with it. The real kick to the teeth here is I told myself to go get my safety glasses before I started to work under my truck but I did one thing after I said it and that resulted in the metal in the eye. I was really cussing myself after that. Lesson learned. Now I get to use eye drops every 6 hours for 7 days.
