My wife works for an opthamologist...they are eye surgeons....Her statement was go directly to the doc...do not try and remove it....leave your eyes water...dont touch or rub.....make sure you go to a OPTHAmologist or on the weekend... ER trying to use a magnet may not be the thing to do if it is stuck in your cornea it may pull the metal out that it tears the cornea then you got big probs....So the best thing is to go directly to the dr and let it water...she has been in the buis 20 yrs ....
BTW forging...I got a pair of flexable glass bigger than I fasionabley would like...grinding and some kinds of cutting...Face mask...just the other day I was grinding slag and piece jumped up and landed in my eye......look down..let the eye water ....I didnt have the mask on because it was "just a quick brushing" scared the heck out of me...on went the face mask.....
