Graphite Fly

Graphite Fly
Mechanical pencil lead flew into my right eye. How do I get it out?

Help!!! It hurts really badly and my eye gets all irritated and itchy. I know it's graphite and not lead. But its about a centimeter long. I was writing and it broke and flew into my eye. What should I do? I need to get it out. I've flushed my eye with water so many times. I know that you can't just have it roll to the front of the eye and pick it out. Anyone with firsthand experience would be great. I'm sure this i like getting a leaf particle in your eye or something.

Thanks a bunch!

It depends on how deep it went into the cornea. If it is bothering you that bad, I would call your local optometrist's office. I know the optometrist I see, stays on call 24 hours a day and would not want you to suffer the entire weekend with this. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to the ER unless there is an optometrist or ophthalmologist on site. More than likely they are not on site. If it has embedded in your cornea, an optometrist will have to remove it. They have special equipment for doing this and an MD will not have this equipment. An MD can actually make this type of injury worse.

IN RESPONSE to the guy below me, an optometrist doesn't only prescribe eye glasses, but also treats many medical eye conditions such as foreign bodies, glaucoma, eye infections, etc. Many people have this misconception that optometrists don't see medical conditions. This is very untrue. In fact ophthalmologists many times do not see a patient unless it is a severe eye condition or problem such as a retinal detachment. Many times ophthalmologists patients are patients who were referred by an optometrist.
