Question 1

How to get something out of your upper eye lid?

Accepted Answer

To Remove something from upper lid, gently pull top eyelashes and eyelid & lay upper lid on top of bottom eyelashes. This should help get it out. Otherwise, you can flip the lid with a cue tip at a mirror to see if you see something. Consult with us if needed. Otherwise an eyeMD can help.

Question 2

What is the best way to get something out of my eye?

Accepted Answer

A safe way to get something out of your eye on your own is to gently wash out the eye with sterile saline which is meant for the eye (not a nasal solution). Tilt your head so that the 'bad' eye is higher and send the saline from the outer corner of the eye toward the inner corner, nearer the nose. You may need help keeping the eyelid open. Get help soon if the irritation continues.

Question 3

I have something in my eye. that can get out.

Accepted Answer

If you have something in your eye, then I recommend you try flushing your eye with lots of flowing clean water.  You don't say what you mean exactly.  If you feel like there is something stuck into your eye, like metal for instance, then you would want to be seen right away.  Otherwise, try the eye wash, and then go to an eye doctor or urgent care clinic if that does not resolve your problem.

Question 4

What can happen when you get something in your eye?

Accepted Answer

Most of the problem is with irritation or pain, but a foreign body in the eye can cause a scratch or an infection.

Question 5

Flood your eyes with artificial tears.  If the discomfort is not relieved by this, then see an ophthalmologist for evaluation.

Question 6

What do you do when you feel something scratching your eye but cant get anything out ?

Accepted Answer

There are conditions where there is nothing in the eye but you can have odd sensations.  Please see an eye doctor ASAP.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

Contact lens: are my eyes too small or do i have to get used to not blinking when i put them on?  something's not working.

Accepted Answer

If you are not used to contact lenses it might be hard to wear them at first, but it should get easier with time.  Glasses are also good, but they can also take time to get used to.  It is good to be able to use both.  If the problems persist, see your eye doctor.

Question 8

I ate something that had pork on it unknowingly, now i have rush and my eyes are swollen.i think i am allergic to it, please help on which medications i can get or what to do. thank you. ?

Accepted Answer

For allergic reactions, the first line treatment to start at home is an Antihistamine. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is very effective in the short term and can resolve the issue or give you time to get to the Dr. If you experience lip/tongue swelling or feeling your throat closing, call an ambulance immediately.
