Has anyone had any experience with this? I have a very small speck of metal in my right eye. I was using a very small screwdriving, and a teeny piece of it snapped and flew in my eye. I can see fine, it doesn't usually hurt, but if I move my eye around a lot or close my eyes shut very tight, I can feel a bit of pain.
Considering going to the ER, but what could they do that I couldn't do at home? I tried eye drops, but nothing so far.

I kind of feel silly making this thread. I would have ended up at the ER anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone had experienced this before, and how serious it was.
Anyway I was in an out of the ER in less than 2 hours. The doctor lifted my eyelid and saw it. Got it out with some eyedrops and a q-tip. It was bigger than I expected
They scanned my eyes to make sure it didn't scratch it, and my eyes are a-ok! I also found out I have 20/20 vision
They even let me keep the piece of metal as a souvenir.
