Just spent most of the afternoon in Eye Outpatients Casualty at the local hospital. My mate (a farmer) has been having problems for about 10 days with his left eye swelling up, so he called in the opticians whilst at the mart, to ask of they could give him some eye drops. The optician had a quick look - and said "oh my gawd - you've got a lump of metal embedded inside your eyelid, which is scratching your eye every time you blink - get to A&E - QUICK!"
As he was warned not to drive, i stepped into the breech and took him. Three hours later, they'd removed the iron bit and sent him home. The hospital's parting shot was "when the anaesthetic eye drops wear off - it will HURT. Suggest you have some Paracetamol handy - or perhaps a decent malt (to drink, not to bathe the eye with!!)"
