A member asked:
I got something in my eye and now i see a scratch. i am calling dr tomorrow but can i put colloidal silver in a cut eye like with pink eye?

No silver in eye: An eye scratch is seriously painful but you did not mention that. Is the cut on your conjunctiva (over the white of the eye) which would cause a little blood in the tears. Keep the eye clean and wash out with ordinary artificial tears. Eye fluids are very antibacterial so you do not need to try and fight an infection which is very unlikely to be present. See an ophthalmologist
