Intraocular foreign body πŸ‘

Intraocular foreign body πŸ‘

This case involves a malfunctioning piece of machinery that shot a metal washer into a workers eye. Unfortunately he was not wearing any eye protection or safety glasses at the time of the incident. Luckily the man was taken to a hospital and the foreign body was safely removed. He did not have any long term effects or vision loss. Even though this man was extremely lucky to have no lasting damage, vision loss and eye injury are very common with Intraocular injuries. Always remember to protect your eyes wear safety glasses!

I'm amazed that the eye looks more unamused than agonized.

Was it embedded and that's why they didn't remove it right away?

I'm not a medical professional but I would have taken it out,rinsed it and covered it with a clean cloth then go see the doctor, would it have been bad to do that first?
