A member asked:
Have you seen microbead from facial cleanser cause corneal abrasion? just removed a tiny plastic microbead lodged in upper lid, it caused sm abrasion
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not seen: I would attribute this to the vigor of trying to remove the microbead with an abrasion from the finger tips or fingernails. I don't think the bead itself could cause an abrasion of the cornea.
