I have written previously about wooden foreign material in my eyes. First was stupidity, second was lifting off my glasses/or helmet or something off head, another was washing my face with face cloth.
At 3:30 this afternoon while starting the outside of a greenish honey locust (it makes some curls, but chunks and wet saw dust even with newly sharpened gousges), I stopped to go make a phone call. I took off my shirt and shook it. Got something in eye. Tried for 15 min to remove (flushes, pulling top eyelid over bottom, etc.) To no avail. Called our veterinary ophthamologist who has removed the other 3 foreign bodies, and he said come on it. I went right to the vet clinic before his 5 pm seminar. put drops in. looked and saw the speck and rolled it out with a tip. (also said I was brewing a cateract!!!) Left for home 20 min later. If I went to emergency, I would still be filling out paperwork, and I got an experienced, great specialist to boot. Of course it helps that his vet wife is a bowlaholic and has bought many from me thru the years. My eye feels great. Going to slay the "beast" (nat edge H. Locust) tomorrow with relish!!! Gretch
