Ouch glass in my eye
Well at work this morning moved a trolley (remember I work at BQ) and someone had rested a fluorsecent 6ft tube over something else out of packaging and when I moved something else it exploded...sadly for me it covered me head and shoulders; which means I ended up with lots of tiny tiny specks of "glass shards on my face" not as bad as it sounds but also glass in my right eye.Been to A&E whoi had put anthestic in my eye and a coloured dye and the eye is cut/scratched at the bottom and by the tear duct.
They have cleared out the glass won't say how as people are eye squemish... ..including me.
Have antibiotic cream, and have to go to the eye hospital tomorrow after 11am to see them. Have to rest today I have a patch I look like a pirate. Starting to hurt again now think the anthestic is wearing off.

Goodness Kazz, that's nasty - it must be very painful too.. thank goodness it didn't damage your pupil.I don't envy you having treatment on your eye, it's such a sensitve organ..... I find it unbearable just having an eyelash go into mine....
Hope you can keep the pain and discomfort under control and it doesn't take too long to heal.
I hope you will be able to claim through your company too

Re: Ouch glass in my eye
I can sympathise with you there Kazz, as several years ago I managed to get a shard of glass in one of my eyes. Luckily at the time, I was working in London not too far from The Moorfields Eye hospital, so they treated me there. I had the same treatment that you've just had ~ and was sent home on a busy rush-hour train wearing an eye-patch! Boy, did I feel stupid!Hope it heals quickly for you.
