Wake up the next morning with my eye crusted shut, and after forcing it open won't stop watering. Head to the ER. Seems I got a shaving stuck in my eyeball. Out comes the tetanus shot. Then the eye gets numbed and held open while the doc pulls out the shaving, then proceeds to use an air drill to cut the rust ring out. Nothing like watching a drill bit poke into your eye and move around in circles.
Be careful with your eyes Especially the cornea since it has no blood supply, meaning antibiotic or tetanus won't help any if you happen to get a fungus in it. I am legally blind in my left eye because I got hit with something and never realized it; until it was too late.
