Sat night my eye hurt and did not get better yesterday. Went to Minute Clinic and she said there is something in my right eyeball. She tried but couldn't get it out. Eye doc was able to fit me in. remove a piece of metal that i was able to see without a microscope!!! But the RUST is still there and hopefully my eye will "push" it out and by Friday she will be able to get it out!! BTW i am sqeamish about eye issues. Would rather go to the dentist than eye doc. They should have laughing gas at
BOTH places. Double ugh!!

Ugh! So sorry. I can sympathize. I hate eyes too. Good luck to you.

My son once got rust in his eye when he was around 10. He played with a rusty nail on the way home from school, then rubbed his eye. We got some rx drops to use and he's never had a problem since. Well, except the time he got battery acid in his eye......boys! Good luck to you  |

Ouch! I hope it's all healed soon. I'd pretty much rather anything than the dentist but that doesn't sound nice  |

My sister had this and they had to "drill" out the area with the rust. She said it didn't hurt at all, but you had to keep your eye completely still while they did it, and that was the most terrifying.

I got a staph infection in my eye last October. So painful. I feel your pain (and hassle).

Think of your eye as a muscle, something that is easily cut into, because that is what it is. Good luck eye pain is difficult.

Wow. That must have been weird to find out that you had a piece of metal in your eye. I'm glad you posted a positive update. I hope it just keeps getting better and better.

Wow! Do you remember being around something rusty? I will take rust in the eye over battery acid in the eye!  |
