What’s in my Eye?
Occasionally metal debris from grinding, wood splinters from landscaping, or even glitter gets stuck in the eye. New Mexico’s windy weather contributes to this, especially during tumbleweed season. If you’re having trouble flushing out debris in the eye, we can help. Foreign objects should be removed from the eye as soon as possible to prevent an infection. If you believe you have metal in the eye, don’t wait! Metal can rust in the eyes within one day.
