Glad everyone is ok now.FYI - they tried first aid at home - they had eye wash - didn't work. Then urgent care the next morning - who didn't have the equipment. Then an optometrist who wasn't in. Then the Hillsboro Eye Clinic which is where my ophthalmologist is, managed to get us in at the last minute.
Our next stop would have been the ER, but they may or may not have a specialist on duty and may or may not have the equipment needed.
Patient is recovering.
I tried everything, magnets, eye wash - everything. My eye caught some grinder filing. Couldn't see it - it was lodged in the black ring of my iris.
By the time I found an eye doc on a sunday - he took one look (I literally 'found' him in a local shopping market) and he rushed me back to his office.
Once he was done scraping the rust ring off the surface of my eyeball and found the issue is when he opened up about how close I was to blindness in that eye. A matter of hours he said.
