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.
