    feels like your eyes have been attacked with a wire brush

    then filled with sand

    worst few days ever

    Yeah, really not fun. Really....

    Another bad one is getting a spark in the eye, as the eye heals faster than any other part of the body it forms a layer over it, resulting in having to be clamped to a hospital bed, with a clamp holding your eye open as they grind away at your eye to get the spark out!!!

    Try a chunk of rust in your eye from undoing an exhaust flange...

    Then having them scrape your eye with a syringe

    And then using that orange dye and a black light to make sure they got it all

    Then rocking an eye patch for a few days

    whatever you do go to an OPTOMETERIST straight away whenever you get any foreign bodies in your eye, as a GP will seriously fuck it up by trying to fix it, optoms know what we are doing
