CHRIS MOSHOURES OPTOMETRIST SOMETHING IN THE EYE For contact wearers, here are a couple of tips on what to do when you get something (that doesn't belong there) in your eye. With the hard lenses, it is quite possible for a piece of soot or dirt to fall into the eye and become trapped between the lens and the cornea. A good way to get it out is to hold the upper lid firmly against the bone under the eye brow and blink violently. If the foreign particle still remains, you will have to take the lens out and rinse it off. With the soft lenses, once they're in place, it is nearly impos sible for anything to get between the cornea and the lens. However, it can happen while putting them on. Don't ignore any unusual sen sation hoping it will go away. Take the lens out and rinse it as often as necessary until it feels right. A tiny hair or fragment of thread may defy several rinsings before it finally comes off. ? ? ? ? In the interest of better vision from the office of: Brunswick Vision Care Chris Moshoures, O.D.
