Eye have a tip to share

I feel ya dude. A few years back I got a piece of tiny Metal(triangular shard) in my eye and went through the same thing. I talked to an old timer and he said tear off a match out of a book of matches and use the freshly torn end of the match like a brush on your eye. It hurt a little but after I did it, I looked at the end of the match and that piece of metal was stuck right on the end of it. It worked like magic but now I wear protective lenses whenever they are needed.
