Thanks, Dr Bones! Concise, informative and clear. Good info to have no matter what is or isn’t going on. Off to replace my shop goggles which are so old they yellowed 😉.

Thanks Doc! In a forced DIY situation would a magnet be okay to remove a ferrous metal object from an eye?

My daughter fell off her razor scooter and the end of the handlebar (without the rubber grip) hit her eye. She healed nicely. Just thought I’d throw another potential risk in there ;)

Please some advice anyone?....♡
My partner smashed their eye with a metal/stone necklace pendant after taking a shower. now they have pink whites, and puffy lids. Very Painful! Ibuprofen 600mg wouldn't help. Its only been two days, have to see how tomorrow goes...

We are very afraid because they have no insurance and are already struggling with tooth infection. Very expensive out of pocket. that on top of unrealistically stressful life to put it very short.

... do you think with the right care ( eat healthy, warm/cold compress, warm salt water and other home remedies it will be sorry.

I've watched about 18 videos about this and this the only channel and video that made me feel a little better. All of the others say go to the doctor! That isn't an option right now. 🤢 live in the US btw.
