Getting nervous again..

[deesmilesx3]

Hi, everyone!

Last month, something flew in my eye. I don't know if it was the glass on the floor that my sister was sweeping or something else. But I know that I felt something flew in and I think it's inside my eyeball (if that's possible lol)

Anyways, I have been been rubbing it to see if it would come out and I haven't had any scratches or blurred vision. I forgot to say that the object is small like very very small. But I'm afraid that it might lead me to go blind or have my eyeball taken out.

Like I said before.. I didn't have no blurred vision or scratches. But is there anyway that an foreign object can get into the sclera?

Thanks,

Deanna💜

If you do indeed have something in your eye never rub it! Lean your head to the side and flush the eye with sterile water. Regular water can work. I’m just OCD. Water gets in eyes in showers though. Just get a bottle and keep pouring the water and see if you can flush it out. Do NOT rub. You can cause permanent damage to your eye by scratching it against your eye lens. If it’s been a month and flushing doesn’t help you may want to get a check up. Is it causing your eye to water or sting? It could possibly be a speck of dust if someone was sweeping but after a month the natural fluid in your eyes would have gotten it out it seems. Other than thinking it’s there are there other symptoms? A foreign body would attract white blood cells at least to try to attack the foreign body along with eye fluids. Have you tried eye drops? A simple saline or water flush is best.

Check under the lid and everywhere, there's no sign of the object. I did wash my eyes out like you told me and felt fine. Cause it hit the lower part and probably got washed away by blinking so phew lol. Thank you!
