MR safety: Assuming you have not had interim metal in your eye from injury or surgery somewhere with some metal put in MR is safe. A lot of implanted stuff is MR safe these days anyway. MR contrast agents are generally safe too esp. if you have normal kidneys. If your Dr. wants you to have another MR, for a benign cyst, you should likely have it. Cysts can grow.Radiologist is responsible for your safety, too
