No matter what the object is, it&#8217;s critical to have it removed quickly to reduce your risk of serious injury or infection.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the eyes are extremely delicate and if you don&#8217;t know how to safely remove the foreign body, you can end up with sight-threatening complications. It&#8217;s therefore always best to seek urgent eye care if you can&#8217;t flush out the foreign body with water or saline solution.<\/p>\n<p>If you think a foreign body has penetrated your eye, or you notice any blood or discharge coming from your eye, contact your eye doctor immediately. After describing what happened, your eye doctor may send you to an emergency room.<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE AN EYE EMERGENCY?<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>Contact Atkinson Eye Care in Algonquin for an emergency eye care appointment. If you&#8217;re unsure whether your symptoms constitute an emergency, call us anyway. Delaying treatment can put you at risk of serious complications that can result in vision loss. Until you see your eye doctor or seek urgent care:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t press on or rub an injured eye<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t attempt to remove a foreign body on your own<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use dry cotton (including cotton swabs) or sharp instruments (such as tweezers) on the eye<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t attempt to remove an embedded object<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Call our office in Algonquin for further instructions.
