A member asked:
Would it be possible to develop eye cancer from something being stuck in your eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Eye cancer is rare to begin with. Eye trauma can cause lots of problems with eye health and vision but the causation of cancer in this way would be extraordinary. Just make sure the consequences of the trauma in the eye are seen by an ophthalmologist and treated properly.
