Insect in the eye-injury - My Eyes!

Yes, I've never posted photo before. What did I do wrong?

bee to the fore head at 30pmh always gonna hurt!

I was out cycling with my girlfriend and a bee stung the inside of her mouth. She drooled and the air blew it all over her cheek and neck. I got told off for laughing.

I've got some of those really cheap wraparound 'safety glasses' which look like normal cycling glasses. They're alright but the optics of the plastic are crap - there's an annoying amount of distortion unless you're looking dead ahead. Are there any distortion-free cheap cycling glasses?

i've some Tifosi ones, yellow frame:http://www.tifosioptics.com/products/article/t-v035/search&exact-model=Envy&sport=Cycling|Run/
They were pretty cheap, costed me £25 from fleabay. Have some nice Oakleys now so don't need them any more.. you're welcome to take them for.. £10?

So I managed to get some kind of London road crap in my eye on the way to work this morning, I can't see it but it is causing me all manner of pain, and I have failed to wash it out.

Any advice? Surely others have had similar misfortune.

(I've had something visible stuck lodge into my eyeball before whilst cycling and ended up in A&E with a nurse picking it out with a needle - something I would rather avoid)

A+E.

Now.

or eye hospital.

^ and ^^

Docs or A+E immediately.

Seek medical assistance urgently.

Keep the eye closed as blinking can move the object(s) around which may cause damage. This will also help resist the urge to rub....

best of luck

sellotape it shut. srsly.

Or get a friend to squirt saline into your eye..

This is most likely what they will do at the hospital once you have gone through the awkward process of getting there and waiting your turn.

If its more serious they drop some dye in your eye to make the bits show up hen try and pick them out.

my knees just went funny at the thought of all that advice. hate eye stuff

Squirt it in the eyes, not your knees!

It's not as bad as it sounds. I always expected it to annoy/sting like sea water or something but it's a pretty mild solution.

Yo, A&E visit averted. Sat around blinking and in pain for about 5 hours at work (better than the same time spent in A&E getting deprioritised) and it has miraculously stopped). Will keep an eye on it though, ka-boom-tish.

hen try and pick them out.

Don't you mean peck?

^ Don't be a cock, it's just a typo.

We don't need any fowl language

I had a chunk of metal literally dug out of my eye by a nurse with a syringe needle.

It was very strange as she pressed the needle into the (surprisingly, and hearteningly tough) skin of the surface of my eye my entire visual field distorted sharply around the tip.

There was then (what I thought to be) quite a loud "tick!" noise as she pierced the surface of my eye, then flicked the bit of metal out.

My mum had surgery on her eye recently where she had to be awake. They pushed a big needle into her eyeball, sucked out gloopy blood that had accumulated inside, then pumped the eye with gas to re-pressurise it.
