What’s the easiest way to get a foreign body out of your eye without seeking medical attention????
Category: Foreign Bodies
I work in warehouse where this is a common problem and safety glasses are not always available. This happens alot and it is normally just a small piece which comes out bt itself or with the aid of eyewash!!!

flush with water is the best way, flush for at least 15 minutes.

hi there,
flush your eye if u can get to a chemest (DRUG STORE) and get some saline it would be best but if not just run it under water (cold not hot) and it should come out. or u can pull ur top eye lid over the top of ur lower one and move ur eye around that sometimes works. if not go to the ER!
hope all works out for you
cheers

Ask someone to blow into your affected eye.
Or Use your handki and blow the top portion & immediately just gently rub on the affected eye. You eye will say “I see, you are the culprit”

do not try to remove it from you eye, cover the affected eye and go the Doctor or the hospital.

you could keep your eye open until tears come out, they’ll carry the piece out coz it’s the natural flush-system
(well that’s what i do when I’m desperate!)

Just a suggestion, but if the foreign body is under the eyelid, either upper or lower, wet the end of a Qu-Tip and pull the lid out and gently try to dislodge the object with the Qu-Tip then flush with cold water…hope this helps!

It shall be a great risk to try to avoid doctor. Rush to a doctor and let him do what is to be done.

If it’s a small piece and isn’t embedded in the eyeball then you can lift your upper eyelid and tuck the bottom eyelid underneath after removing any loose eyelashes. Sweep the inside of the upper lid with the lower lid. The lashes should remove any grit caught under the top lid. This also works in reverse. If the object still doesn’t come out after trying everything else then go immediatly to your doctor. It’s not worth losing your sight for the sake of a few bucks!

It’s always best to seek medical attention, whether it’s your eye doctor or the ER. Even if you manage to get the object out of your eye on your own, you should still see your eye doctor to make sure that there aren’t smaller pieces still in your eye and that they didn’t cause any damage. You also want to make sure that the object isn’t causing the start of an eye infection.
