Medical Forum / General / General / November 2005bug in the eye
this small fly flew into my right eye this morning and got stuck. i'm not kidding. i had to go to the bathroom to get him out. anyway, my eye really hurts now. could the bug have done this or is it a coincidence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It depends on how you removed the "foreign object" from the eye. You should have put the eye under the tap marked "H" and let the stream of warm water irrigate the ocular area Doc Quack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i removed it with my finger and forgot to irrigate >this small fly flew into my right eye this morning and got stuck. i'm >not kidding. i had to go to the bathroom to get him out. > >anyway, my eye really hurts now. could the bug have done this or is it >a coincidence Very small scratches to the surface of the eye can hurt a lot. Fortunately, they usually heal quickly. It's been a couple of days since you posted. If the pain and irritation aren't gone by now, go to a doctor. You don't want to take a chance on damaging your vision. i'm pretty sure it's infected. it had pus all over it this morning. >i'm pretty sure it's infected. it had pus all over it this morning. Do you need someone to tell you that if your eye was injured and is now infected and oozing pus, you should go to a doctor? Okay, I have. You're going to feel pretty stupid if you lose vision in the eye. Note that there's a really ugly tendency for an infection in one eye to spread to the other one, so you could go blind. Get the eye looked at and treated while you can still read text on a monitor, okay? It's had a chance to clear up on its own and it hasn't. |
