are you seriously asking for medical advice from a pot growing forum?


Its your eye do you think you need to go to the hospital?

Serious?

Try running water and flushing it...natural tears or visine may help.

Use a Qtip and get most of it out.

Saline washes will help but your tears will do the best work as long as you're hydrated.

I have issues with trimming fingers I can't imagine what you're going through.

stick your head in a sink of water and keep blinking under the water to clean your eyes out,
i got battery acid in my eye and thats what i done, still got both my peepers.

I doubt it really requires a hospital visit. Can't you just find someone, a friend, girlfriend, relative neighbor, etc. to help you get it out?

Been there, done that after rubbing itchy eyes when trimming. It stings, but wont damage anything.
If it's large, I would try a Q-Tip with saline solution.
The eye is tougher than you think.. I once pulled off the cornea of my eye while removing a dried out contact lens, and thought I had done permanent damage. Went to the doctor immediately, and he laughed, explaining that the cornea is the fastest healing part of the body, and would be regenerated within 18-24 hours.
He was correct. Next day, a whole new cornea.

Anyone who's been trimming and accidentally touches an eye knows that shit burns, and how difficult it is to clean from the skin.

Get that shit squared away.

Good luck with your eye! I have to admit though, I laughed really hard when I read this thread! Feel better! Thanks for the funny story.
